Cut cardstock and foil sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Soft Suede Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 3/8" x 3-1/4" from Copper Foil Sheets
- scrap of Very Vanilla Cardstock
Rub the Embossing Buddy over the bottom half of the large Very Vanilla rectangle. Tap off powder.
Mount the sentiment from the Painted Harvest Set on Block C. Ink it up with the VersaMark Pad. Stamp it in the lower right corner of the Very Vanilla rectangle.
Sprinkle on Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder. Tap off excess powder and return it to the container to use again another time.
Heat the powder with the Heat Tool until it is completely melted (smooth and shiny).
Mount the acorn bottom image from the Painted Harvest Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Early Espresso Ink Pad. Stamp it randomly all over the 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" strip of Very Vanilla Cardstock at different angles. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Leave room for the acorn top on each acorn. Leave the stamp on the block.
Ink the acorn bottom up again with Early Espresso Ink and stamp it once on the scrap of Very Vanilla Cardstock. Leave room at the top for the acorn top. Clean the stamp and put it away.
Mount the acorn top image from the Painted Harvest Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Soft Suede Ink Pad. Stamp it on top of each of the acorn bottoms on the 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" strip. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Leave the stamp on the block.
Ink the acorn top up again with Soft Suede Ink and stamp it on top of the acorn bottom on the scrap of Very Vanilla Cardstock. Clean the stamp and put it away.
Adhere the stamped strip of 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" Very Vanilla Cardstock to the upper left side of the heat embossed large Very Vanilla rectangle.
Use Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the Copper Foil Sheets strip and adhere it to the bottom of the stamped strip of acorns so about 1/8" of the stamped strip shows along the bottom.
Adhere the Very Vanilla card front to the front of the Soft Suede card.
Cut out the acorn on the scrap of Very Vanilla Cardstock using Paper Snips.
Adhere the cut out acorn to the card front just to the right of the sentiment using a Mini Stampin' Dimensional.
Cut a 7" piece of 1/4" Copper Trim. Tie it in a small bow. Trim the ends.
Adhere the bow to the left side of the Copper Foil Sheets strip at a slight angle using a Mini Glue Dot.
Pick out 5 copper sequins in two sizes from the Metallics Sequin Assortment. Adhere them to the card front as shown using either Mini Glue Dots or tiny dots of Fine-Tip Glue Pen.
