The Debut of Autumn Goodness into the Fall Card Series

In appears that the few Fall cards I was going to make have turned into a small collection! I’m certainly not complaining, as a matter of fact, I’m just gonna roll with it. So here you go, my first card made with the Autumn Goodness stamp set. I challenged myself to use the wheat stack on a card and struggled for a bit because I felt like it could only be the focal point. I couldn’t find any designer series paper that I felt matched the colors and the mood I was going for either. As I was putting the card together, I just kept feeling that something wasn’t right. It was too plain and just needed something more. That’s when I thought to make my own background paper with the very stamp that is the focal point! Genius, right?! Ok, well maybe not genius but definitely a good idea. Below is the finished card and as always the specifics, instructions and links to products if you would like to make this card or something similiar yourself. Be sure to come back tomorrow when I will be showcasing some other designers and the Fall cards they have created.

Gather Together Fall Watercolor Card

Another Fall card because I just love the colors that the season brings. The colors, the leaves and the sentiment just give me the cozy idea of reading a good book in front of a fire with a cup of hot cocoa on the table next to me. The Gather Together stamp set just makes the creating part so easy, but the best part is the coordinating dies allow you to make cards with or without the stamp set as well. That’s some real value for your money with this stamp and die combo. No wonder it is featured in our mini catalog again this year as a returning favorite! Below the picture you will find the material specifics along with instructions on how to make this card yourself. Happy Stampin’.

Supplies:

  • Stamps – Gather Together (150662)
  • Card Stock –  Cajun Craze (119684); Whisper White (100730); Bumblebee (153077);
  • Stamp Pads –  Cajun Craze (147085); Bumblebee (153116); Mossy Meadow (147111)
  • Misc – Water Painters (151298); Bumblebee Ribbon (153662); Tailored Tag Punch (145667)

Measurements: All measurements are in inches

  • Cajun Craze Card Stock – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
  • Bumblebee Card Stock – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ and scrap for the punch piece
  • Whisper White Card Stock – 5 1/4″ x 4″ and scrap for the punch piece
  • Bumblebee Ribbon  – 5 3/4″

Instructions:

  • Fold your Cajun Craze card stock in half to create a 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ card base
  • Use your Whisper White piece to stamp your leaves around the outside edge making sure to rotate your stamp as you go and use all 3 ink colors.
  • Take each of your closed ink pads and squeeze the top of the ink pad case down towards the bottom pushing ink onto the inside lid of your ink pad.  You can also place a few drops of reinker onto the inside of the ink pad lid if you prefer.
  • Take your water painter that is already filled with water and squeeze a few drops of water on to the ink in the lid of the ink pad.  Use your water painter to mix the water into the ink until you get a color and consistency you like.  You do not want your color to be dark for this next step.
  • Pick up some of your diluted ink with your water brush and test it on a scrap piece of paper.  If the color of the brushed ink is one you like, apply it to the same color stamped leaves on your card filling in the leaf. Repeat this step until all of the leaves have been filled in.
  • Set your inked card front aside to dry.
  • Punch your sentiment shape out of the Whisper White card stock scrap and the Bumblebee scrap.
  • Stamp your sentiment onto the Whisper White piece using Mossy Meadow.
  • Layer the stamped sentiment piece slightly offset to the Bumblebee piece and adhere them together.
  • Layer the Bumblebee card front piece to the card base.
  • Once your stamped leaves have dried, wrap  your ribbon across the front and around to the backside of the card adhering it in place with glue dots or another adhesive.
  • Now laver and adhere the stamped layer to the Bumblebee piece that is now part of the card base.
  • Finally, add your sentiment to the top of your card centered on the ribbon.

Autumn Goodness Fall Colors Card

Fall is my favorite season of the year because of all the colors and the excuse to wear a sweater and drink hot chocolate while still not wearing a coat or gloves. That crisp air always seems to be just right. This quick and easy card reminds me of all of that with it’s warm color hues and added bits of texture. I hope it inspires you to create something warm before it turns oh so cold.

Creating by accident with Forever Fern

I just love this card and to tell the truth the picture provide does not do it justice!  What you cannot see in the picture is that EVERYTHING is lifted off the card except the sentiment strip.  The pieces of the card literally come towards you as you hold the card.  It is so cool.  And to think it all came about by accident just playing around with the dies determined to make something.  I’m just a little excited about this one if you can’t tell, lol.  The glitter piece just seems to finish everything off.

Forever Fern

  • Stamps – Forever Fern (154094)
  • Card Stock –  Blackberry Bliss (147092); Whisper White (100730); Soft Seafoam (146988); Silver Foil (132178)

  • Soft Sea Foam Card Stock – 4″ x 8″ for die cutting
  • Whisper White  Card Stock – 4″ x 8″ for die cutting and sentiment
  • Silver Foil Paper – scrap for die cut

Instructions:

  • Fold your Blackberry Bliss card stock in half to create a 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ card base
  • Use your Whisper White piece to stamp your berries in Blackberry Bliss ink, at least 3 sets.  Then die cut your stamped berries with the coordinating framelit
  • Stamp your sentiment on a scrap piece of Whisper White using the Smokey Slate ink.  Then cut your sentiment into a desired shape (banner, flag, rectangle, etc.)
  • Die cut at least 3 fern leaves from the Soft Sea Foam card stock.  You can cut more if you want a fuller backing
  • Die cut the last wreath like flourish from the Sliver Foil paper
  • Take your die cut pieces starting with the Soft Sea Foam leaves and arrange them on the card base only gluing the bottom end pieces of the die cuts to the card base leaving the top portion free to move and lift off of the card
  • Layer the stamped berries atop the leaf die cuts and adhere the same way so that the bottoms are secure but the tops are free to lift up off the card
  • Paste your sentiment flat over the glued end points of both the berries and leaf die cuts covering any end pieces
  • Finally paste your foil die cut below your sentiment as your final piece
