Hello Fall

 Hello Friends,

So glad you stopped by today!  I am so excited about starting my fall cards.  Autumn colors are my favorite and so is the season! Today I am sharing a Fall card using a number of different dies: Mushroom Fairy Garden (Mushrooms),  Fall Centerpiece (leaves), Spring Greenery, Greenery and Botanical Garden 2.

Design Steps:

1.  Use a Kraft card stock base measuring 5 1/4 x 5 1/4, DP 5 1/8 x 5 1/8 and cut 3 kraft frames using the Large Stitched Wide Square Frame die

2.  Glue the frames together and ink edges, tear around the DP and ink the edges, and finally ink the edges of the square card base

3.  Glue the DP to the front of the card and then add frames

4. Cut out the greenery, mushrooms and leaves using the following dies: Mushroom Fairy Garden (Mushrooms),  Fall Centerpiece (leaves), Spring Greenery, Greenery and Botanical Garden 2.  Ink the edges.  For the extra texture I dyed a piece of cheesecloth brown.  Lay out your cheesecloth and then to tack down put a little exta glue on the backs of your greenery

5.  Place your leaves, mushrooms and acorns as shown above

6.  Cut out the hello fall 3 times using the Fall Phrases in dark brown card stock.  Glue together add the phrase to the upper right hand corner and your card is complete

 Hello Friends 

Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you are enjoying the day with friends and family!!  

I am sharing a card that I thought you might enjoy on this day of thanks and blessings!  I used two dies from the fall collections Fall Centerpiece and Autumn Garland.

Design Steps:

1.  Cut a piece of kraft card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8.  Run the card stock through a wood grain embossing folder.  Then paint the front with a light coat of Gesso using a foam brush.  Let the panel dry

2.  Make yourself a ring of twine.  I wrapped mine around a cup bottom and then slide it off and taped the ends together

3.  To create the leaves I used a piece of Alcohol Ink Yupo and an applicator.  I put several of the colors of alcohol ink on the applicator and then dabbed it onto the Yupo paper.  I changed the applicator cotton rectangle and tried a few different colors.  I did this 3 times as you can see on the Yupo sheet

4.  I then used the Fall Centerpiece die and the Autumn Garland die and cut out the leaves

5.  I used the same dies and cut out the sunflowers on two shades of yellow and brown for the center.  I added a little Copic marker to the sunflowers for more depth.  Arrange the flowers and leaves on the circle of twine as shown above

6.  Add your sentiment with a little dovetail and your card is complete
