Jennifer used layering stamps for this stunning Thank You card. If you’re not the best at coloring try layering stamps to add color and dimension with different ink pad colors so no coloring is require for an amazing look. I love the open window she included to peek inside the card! Learn more at the LDRS blog.
This beautiful red fox, mushrooms and ferns really pop against the black card base on this gorgeous card from Michelle. She used dies and colored cardstocks, adding some inking for shading to the images. There’s also a pretty gold foiled sentiment too. Find all the details at the Spellbinders blog.
Yana used layering stencils (another great way to add color without coloring in) for this lovely leaves card. The design is very bold and graphic with the wreath going over the card edges and the stamped sentiment in the center, with part of it popped up. Watch her video tutorial on the Simon Says Stamp blog.
Carrisa used letterpress plates with inks and water for a beautiful watercolor background on her Autumn card. Overtop she added lots of die cut leaves with touches of gold cardstocks to go along with the gold splatter, background texture and pressed plate sentiment. Watch her video tutorial at the Altenew blog.
I love the color palate of rust, navy, salmon and yellow Simeen used on her Fall Leaves Thank You card! She used an inlayed die from Concord and 9th, cutting it from different cardstocks including gold for the veins in the leaves and the sentiment with a navy backing. Take a closer look at the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog.
Carol created a beautiful forest background using stencils for this wonderful Thank You card design. Across the middle she added a wide dry embossed border with die cut pumpkins and leaves in trendy teal and coral colors. She also added a large stamped and die cut sentiment along the bottom. Read all about it on the Honey Bee Stamps blog.
The black stamped bird, sentiment, butterfly and twigs really pop over the background of soft stenciled sunflowers on this Autumn card from Cheryl. She added a faux stitched edge and some gems for extra texture too. I spotted her pretty idea on the Gina K. Designs Instagram page.
If you need a quick and easy Autumn Thank You card try using pre-printed items like pattern papers and dies, include some dimensional embellishments and die cut labels or panels as well. Conny created this and a few other cards using products from Carta Bella. Visit The Cherry on Top blog for more info.
Mindy die cut beautiful sunflowers, adding adorable stamped mice for this darling card. She also included a subtle ink blended background with a few stamped clouds and a large die cut Thanks for a card that’s sure to make anyone smile! Watch her tutorial video on the Lawn Fawn blog.
Amy R used Distress Oxide Inks and water to watercolor in the leaves on these stunning stamped cards. She included lots of shine too with gold cardstock die cut for the sentiment, gold paint splatter, gold gems and soft gold vellum for the dragonfly wings. She’s sharing a video tutorial on her Prairie Paper and Ink blog.
Even though Halloween is almost over you can still include pumpkins all though Fall. Karen used a coordinating die and stencil combo to create these beautiful pumpkins for her Autumn Thank You card that has so much movement and texture. The gold die cut sentiment with vellum backing really pulls it all together. Learn more at the Waffle Flower blog.
I hope you’ll have lots of things and people to be grateful for this Autumn!
