For this card, I started with a cream cardstock base and embossed a kraft panel using the Shortbread Shapes: Rectangle Autumn Embossing Folder. I love all of the subtle autumn images in the background—it adds so much texture without taking away from the focal point.
For the centerpiece, I used the Bigger Autumn Botanicals Corn Die and die cut the pieces in a mix of warm fall colors. I layered the corn and leaves together, then added the sweet little bow created with the Diamond Ribbons Die. I popped the whole bundle up on the embossed panel for some extra dimension.
To finish it off, I stamped the “autumn BLESSINGS” sentiment from the Simple Autumn Sentiments Stamp Set along the bottom of the card. I love the simple, rustic feel of this one—the kraft, cream, and those little pops of fall color work so well together!
As soon as I spotted the oak leaf in the embossing folder, I knew I had to pull out the BotaniCuts Mighty Oak Die! I started by embossing the cream cardstock, then used the Shortbread Shapes Rectangle Die to cut the embossed pieces into squares. I arranged the squares into strips and added them to the card base with foam tape for a little extra dimension.
Next, I die cut the oak leaves in several different fall colors and arranged them on the card front. To finish it off, I added a Tear Strip Banner with a sentiment using the Simple Autumn Mini Sentiment Stamp Set. I love how all of these different elements came together for such a warm, fall-inspired card!
For this card, I went with another cream cardstock base. I used the Postal Frames Die to add a little extra detail, cutting a panel from vellum and layering it with a stamped and stenciled panel created with the Bitty Autumn Botanicals. I just love all of those sweet little pumpkins and gourds!
To carry that theme through, I grabbed the Gooseneck Gourd Die, paper pieced it together, and popped it up on the card front for some added dimension. I finished everything off with another Tear Strip Banner and sentiment. Such a fun fall card with lots of little details!

A little info about commenting here on my blog....
A quick note about comments! My comments are moderated because, unfortunately, I get a TON of spam—the kind telling me about cholesterol medication and all sorts of other weird bot things. 😂 So, if you leave a comment and don’t see it right away, don’t worry! I’ll see it and get it posted for you.
The other issue seems to be whether or not you need a Google account to comment. I have my settings set to “Anyone,” so technically you should be able to leave a comment using any type of login…but Blogger is a pain.
If you’re having trouble leaving a comment, or you’re not sure whether your name is showing up with your comment, please do me one little favor:
Add your name and email address to the end of your comment.
That way, if your comment is chosen as a winner, we’ll know exactly who you are and how to reach you!
I’m sorry for the extra hassle. I’ve Googled, changed settings, switched things around, and tried all the things. I have no idea why it doesn’t work the way it should.
But, again…
Blogger is a pain. 😂

ReplyDeleteHey Laurie, I do not think I would have thought of using white as my first background choice...It's lovely, simple and fresh! I love it! Looking forward to your 'craft & chat'!
ReplyDeleteLovely fall blessings in paper form. I love fall cards, making and sending Thanks & Giving, gratitude cards is just a wonderful way to kick off the fall season & the winding down time of the year just before Christmas. Making & sending fall cards gives us time to focus on our own blessings as we're making the cards to share with others letting them know that they are a blessing. The making and sending is like a circle that gives to all.
