A Stunning fall card with Gorgeous Garden; with a video tutorial and free project sheet!

October 4, 2023

Check out this fabulous, colorful autumn card we made at my September card clubs!

We added fall colors to the die-cut using Blending brushes.

This die-cut is in the Gorgeous Garden dies seen here. This is the leaves die and there is also a floral option as shown below.

If you're interested in these dies now is a great time to purchase them. Add on another item or two and you'll qualify to receive a Mystery Box from me! *see details below

The card base is Vanilla as well as the die-cut. Ink colors include: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wheat.

We started with the two darkest colors – Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive, adding a few splotches of color leaving many open areas for the remaining two colors. I prefer to add the lightest color of Wild Wheat last, so it can fill in any open areas without covering up the previous colors.

Watch the video here or scroll down to see it below.

The stamps & leaf die-cuts are from the Autumn Leaves bundle seen here. It's a big favorite of mine this season.

Save

The die-cut is almost the entire card front except for a thin edge. I added a strip of Cherry Cobbler to the left side. The greeting is stamped on a Tailored Tags die-cut. The leaves are from both foil and Oxidized Copper papers. *The Oxidized Copper paper is back in stock!

Gorgeous Abundant Beauty Kraft notecards with gift box

November 1, 2023

I was inspired by this set of cards & box by a project shared online. I changed up the colors to 'my' favorites and created this:

Save

I absolutely LOVE the Abundant Beauty Decorative masks seen here! The sunflowers are my favorite of course, but I also used the houndstooth mask here as well. Unfortunately these masks are out of stock right now. They'll be back around November 13th.

Save

You might think I made this box but I sure didn't! It's found on page 135 of our Annual Catalog. It includes 20 cards & 20 envelopes and one box for gifting cards in; all in Kraft paper. The cards are notecard side which is 5" X 3 1/2". See it here online.

Save

As you can see in the photo below I used the houndstooth mask to add a soft background to each notecard. I used a blending brush and Copper Clay ink.

Save

The sunflowers are made with Pretty Peacock ink and the leaves are Granny Apple Green on White cardstock. Yes; they are all fussy cut! I did some but my friend Pat did the rest for me; she loves to fussy cut things!

The greetings are from the So Sincere stamp set from the 2023 Holiday catalog. It's my favorite greeting set right now. See it here.

Save

You can see in the photo below that I added the houndstooth pattern to the entire box, inside & out. Because it comes flat it's easy to do.

I hope you're inspired by this project. I'm not sure who will receive it yet, but it will be someone special!
