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

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

Save

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!

• Gorgeously Made & Delightfully Eclectic swaps

  June 6, 2023

  ---

  I thought I'd share a few swaps I received on the Norway incentive trip. 

  This first card was made by Alanna Wharf. It features the Gorgeously Made bundle seen here.  

  Save

  This card put me over the edge; now I have to get this bundle!  

  She used the Masterfully Made 12" designer paper seen here (sale price now at $10.62) and the Soft Shimmer 12" combo pack on the leaf die-cut.

  Here's a close-up of this specialty paper and the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder.  I love the simplicity of this card; it really shows off the die-cut, pretty DSP & texture.  

  Save

  Next is a card my friend Susie Wood made with the new Delightfully Eclectic  12 X 12" designer paper seen here.  It's on sale this month; marked down from $30 to $25.50. There are 48 sheets in this pack; 4 each of 12 designs.  

  Save

  I love her layout; it really shows off the pattern of the daisy DSP.  That greeting die-cut is from the Nested Essential dies seen here.  

  Save

  Her measurements are:

  • Petal Pink card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
  • yellow DSP 2" X 4"
  • Crushed Curry CS 4 1/2" X 3 1/4"
  • daisy DSP 4 pieces at 1" X 3"

The White inside is 2" X 5 1/4".  The greeting, binoculars & pretty label piece are from the kit.  I added a 3/4" strip of Boho Blue CS under it.
