Cardmaking with Crafters Companion Autumn Blessings – Gorgeous Fall Colors!

I broke out this beautiful collection on a cool sunny day and really got that “fall feeling”. Fall is definitely my favorite season – I’m a cool weather gal. Plus it’s craft festival season in Ohio, and I love gathering inspiration and treating myself to a warm funnel cake!

The paper in this collection is what sold me, but all the elements are so usable. In a couple days I crafted about a dozen inspirational cards to send to people who could use a hug in the mail.

I created a faux watercolor look with Crafters Companion aqua markers. These are new for me and I’m loving how easy they are to use! I like to dab each little section of the stamp with a lighter and a darker shade of each color then blend together with a slightly wet brush. I think the result is vibrant and fresh, and it’s super quick to do.

I’ve learned how to make these multi-fold cards and like how they have space to layer the beautiful patterned papers and stamps. Wrapping in some twine adds even more texture.

Check out these die cut shapes – the wood slice, toadstools and fall leaves. I love how unique they are and how they frame sentiments so well. They have stenciling areas on the die to ink on even more details! I also think the size of these are perfect to craft place settings for Thanksgiving dinner.

Wishing you all a happy fall and looking forward to the Holiday season!
