Create a Fall Tiered Tray with Creative Fabrica - Creative Fabrica

Crisp cool air in the mornings is a definite clue that Fall is just around the corner.  Oranges, reds, browns, and gold are beginning to make an appearance in the Northern Hemisphere as well.  Flowers are making a last glorious show… Fresh apples from the tree.  Pumpkin vines revealing their orange globes and so much more evoke fond memories of years gone by. Celebrate Fall by creating a tiered tray display featuring a few of those favorite things.

For this version of the display, a few things from the “stash,” – a fun collection of Autumn papers (Autumn Burning Papers, designed by Queen Brat Digital Designs). A quote that shares many of the things we enjoy doing or that evoke memories from years past (Harvest Hayrides Apple Cider Bonfires designed by spoonyprint) and the square frame collection (Square Box Frame Svg Cut File Collection, designed by gentlemancrafter) were used.  And don’t forget a fun fall image (Sublimation Fall Pumpkin Graphic, designed by artdee2554) for another addition to the display.

1. Select three (3) patterns from an Autumn Background paper collection.  Open the SCAL5 software.  Create a vertical rectangle 1.875 x 8 inches.  The paper should just reach around the block with no overlap. Create a 1.875-inch square for the top of the block.  Using the Color palette and pattern fill, fill the square and the rectangle with one of the images you previously selected.  Repeat the process 2 additional times to create 3 strips and 3 squares.  Check the preview to make sure that all of the registration marks are within the printing guides for your printer. If the marks are outside the print area, just print and use a paper trimmer to cut the images.  Cut with your cutting machine if you are able.

3 Fall Tags - Tag 3

These tags have been so fun to make.  Today's tag is the last in this short Tag Challenge.  Today's tag is the smallest.  but it still packs a punch, I think.  It's also pinterest inspired.

Supplies used:
Neenah 110 lb.  White
Poetique Ink Refills
Skycut cutter/plotter
Christmas Acorn Leaf SVG (from Creative Fabrica)
SCAL 5 Pro
Nuvo Drops
Adhesive (Bearly Art glue & foam dots)

Open SCAL5 Pro and choose the acorn leaf pattern from the file and drag and drop to the mat.  Size as needed.  Add Tag #2 from the library and made sure that the images will fit.  

Add another page and place vertical rectangle and add desired sentiment.  Make sure that all of the type is set to P2C.  Size as desired.  Print and cut the image.  Ink the edges of the piece. 

Cut the leaves and tag.  

Use the same method for coloring the leaves and tag as used in yesterday's tag details.  Let all the images dry.  
Assemble the tag as desired.  Add a few Nuvo drops in desired color on the leaves and around the tag.  


Enjoy the process if you try this.  Hoping you'll enjoy some creative time soon.  Take care and happy crafting!

3 Fall Tags - Tag 2

Oversized and big!  These tags measure nearly 6" x 10.5"!  They're cute and simple and made of paper and vinyl!  




Once again, I chose to use Tag 2 from the SCAL library.  Resize and ungroup to resize the circle.  Since I chose to use 1 1/2 in wide burlap ribbon, the hole is about 1 inch in diameter.  Cut using your cutting machine.  

Choose your font (CK Emily Pen).  Choose your words and using the text tool, type and size as needed to fit within the bounds of the tag, leaving a bit of a margin all the way around the tag.  Using the vinyl setting for your machine, cut, weed and transfer to the tag.  Highlight a shadow using a white gel pen as desired. I also round the bottom corners of the tags for a softer look.  

Add any other embellishments as desired.  

Since these are pretty large and I decided not to embellish, I added them to a 24" diameter grapevine wreath.  Centered under a paper twist tied bow and a few dyed* paper leaves.  

You'll need:  
Kraft paper for tags (12 x 12)
Vinyl
White Gel pen
Leaves (two collections from Creative Fabrica were used you'll find them here and here)
Poetique ink refills
Glass plate
Water
Toothbrush
Freezer paper
Skycut
SCAL5 Pro
Glue gun, glue
Paper twist (deep olive green)
wire
Burlap ribbon
24" grapevine wreath

To dye the leaves: 
Cut the leaves from AC white cardstock.  I used the textured stock.  It adds a look of watercolor paper - but that is purely optional.  Place a couple of drops of the desired ink refills on a glass plate and spritz a bit of water on the plate to spread the color. Lay the leaf cut face down in the color, lift and set aside to dry.  


Use a toothbrush to flick a little extra color if desired.  

Expect to get a little inky during the process if you don't want to wear gloves.  

Thanks for stopping by.  Tag 3 to be posted tomorrow.  

Enjoy some creative time today, or set some aside.
