Hurray, Autumn is here! It’s time for pumpkins, warm drinks, cooler temperatures and changing Fall leaves. It’s also time to change up your card designs by incorporating everything this time of year has to offer on your handmade crafts. I love an elegant Autumnal style with rich colors, idyllic patterns and touches of metallics so today let’s take a look at some beautiful cards using fresh new Fall stamps, stencils and dies.
Kelly’s beautiful card has a gold foiled frame on a burgundy card base with layers of Autumn dies. On the die cut fancy frame she die cut and colored a large pumpkin, with a stamped sentiment, leaves, and florals. On the dies she sprayed Distress Oxide Spray and added glitter too for texture and shine. Find step by step direction at the Papertrey Ink blog.
Cathy used rich colors of ink pads and detailed leaf stamps for her lovely design. She overlapped her stamping, creating a corner to corner diagonal pattern then added ink splatter and gold gems too. In the center is her gold heat embossed and die cut sentiment and it all sits on gold and plum cardstocks that mimic the colors she stamped in. I came across her card at the Gina K. Designs Instagram page.
Melissa wonderful design has book page and pumpkin pattern papers on the base with a trendy die cut arch of red plaid and white with a wreath over top. The die cut wreath has ink blending for the color and she also use Distress Oxide Sprays, I think this is going to be a very popular technique (and easy way to add texture) this Fall! Take a closer look at the Pretty Pink Posh blog.

Sophie’s sweet sweater card has a stenciled and gold foiled plaid background full of color and shine. The sweater is die cut from rich neutral shades of cardstock with a polka dot scarf. A few gold gems and a heat embossed sentiment finish off the design. I came across her idea on the Pink and Main Instagram page.
I love the lace and plaid details Carol added to her Fall pumpkins! They’re sitting on a dry embossed brown panel that has grids of additional Autumn images with paint splatter.
