Cut 6 pieces of Designer Paper at 3/4" X 3" and then cut each one from one corner to the opposite one. Now you can piece these together on a contrasting piece of card stock measuring 4" X 5 1/4". Be sure to watch the video below to see how it's done.
The greeting circle is from the Painted Label dies and the greeting is from the Pattern Play stamp set. See the entire suite of Playing with Patterns products here.
Next is a fun card where you cut narrow strips of designer paper and piece them onto a background sheet. Just offset them slightly to create a 'Bargello' look. This is a quilting technique perfect for striped paper!
I like the one below as the Bargello look is more apparent with the dark Navy strips. The greeting dies are from one of my favorites; the Stitched So Sweetly dies in the annual catalog seen here.
Get the details on creating these techniques in the video below.

I did use the Field of Flowers stamp set for the grass, flowers & dragonflies. I sponged the white card stock with Balmy Blue to remove the 'white' background. I added Shimmery Crystal Effects on the dragonflies and leaves on the top greeting piece.

There are lots of gorgeous Fall products in the 2020 Holiday catalog. I paired a few of my favorites to create this card; the Beautiful Autumn punch bundle and Plaid Tidings 6 X 6" designer paper pack.
I trimmed off 3/4" from the front flap to reveal the strip of pretty Plaid Tidings designer paper. I chose to use Bumblebee, Mint Macaron, Early Espresso and Terracotta Tile inks here.
Here's a Facebook Live video where I shared three pretty fall cards using the Beautiful Autumn bundle. Join me each Tuesday at 11 am CT for my weekly Live videos here: https://bit.ly/FlowerbugFB
