Finding Fall Colors with We R Memory Keepers & GlueArts

Each time I take a drive or step outside I can't help but notice the beautiful fall colors that surround us this season.

The cooler temperatures and falling leaves beckons me to sit with a good book (or a good movie) relax and spend time with those I love most!

Today Designer Lesley Langdon celebrates finding fall colors in her neck of the woods with a colorful layout! GlueArts U Cut It Foam gives embellishments the perfect lift for added dimension.

Designer Patti Milazzo has an amazing fall tri-fold screen that would look beautiful on a mantle or table! Lots of details that stand out thanks to GlueArts Adhesives!

Brad Setting Tool

Instructions:
1. Cut 3 – 5” pieces of pattern paper. Ink and distress edges.
2. Cut 3 – 6” squares of brown cardstock. Ink edges. Then adhere the pattern paper to the brown cardstock squares and machine stitch around borders.
3. Cut 3 – 6” pieces of chipboard. Ink edges and adhere the stitched paper squares to the chipboard pieces.

4. Adhere 3 Embossed Die Cuts to the front of each square using U-Cut-It Adhesive Foam. Attach a “Fall” sticker to the front of the “Autumn” die cut again using the adhesive foam. 

 5. Flip the squares over and attach pieces of ribbon to the chipboard backs with Extreme Adhesive Squares. I used 4 - 3” long x 1 ½” wide pieces of brown ribbon. I spaced the boards about 1/4” apart and positioned the ribbons about 1” from the top and bottom.

 6. Once the ribbon is secure, cut 3 more – 6” squares of brown cardstock to cover the back of the chipboard.
7. To further embellish the front of the screen, create a flower using the Flower Kit and a few flower punches. Ink, distress and layer the flower. Using the Brad Piercing and Setting Tool to pierce 2 holes in the center of the flower. Then separate the prongs of the mini brad as shown. Position each prong through the holes of a button and into the flower. Press down the prongs in back to secure.

 8. To create the bows for each square, tie a knot in a piece of 1 ½” wide ribbon, trim ends and secure to top of a tag with Extreme Adhesive Squares. Use the Extreme Adhesive Squares and Micro Squares to adhere the flower, leaf punches and “Happy Thanksgiving” banner made from a sticker and cardstock.

9. Punch 1/8 inch holes in the Chipboard Tags and string with hemp. Attach these to the bow – tuck under the knot – using Micro Extreme Adhesive Squares. Finally add a couple of silver buttons with hemp to each of the bows on the left and right squares.
