Happy Fall Friday! A new release from Jaded Blossom today!

Howdy friends! Happy Fall Friday! Yippeeeeee! It finally feels like fall here in California! I put all the extra blankets on the bed this week and we've considered turning on the heater a few times…. The house is fully decorated for Halloween and the pumpkins have been purchased…. My happy season is here!! And, today I have a Fall crafty treat for you! There's a brand new release today from Jaded Blossom! ALLLLL the pretty things for Autumn crafting. I have two projects for ya! I hope you enjoy the projects, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

First up is a classically fall card….full of all the things I love to use for fall cards! Woodgrain, warm colors, cream, gold, vellum……oooooooh. This finished card is an A2 card base. I covered the front of the card with dark brown woodgrain and then a cream panel. So warm and cozy…. The stars of this card are those gorgeous leaves dies! 

I started this card by making the background first. I knew I wanted to use the solid leaves as the focus of my card, but I really wanted to use the outline die too…. Hmmmm. Then it came to me! I created a tone on tone cream background by die cutting several outline dies. I glued them onto the cream panel and trimmed the edges. It's perfect! I splashed a good amount of my favorite gold paint on top of this part and let it dry. Then I inked the edges slightly with Distress Ink.

Next I die cut two of the big leaves – in red and gold. I used my new fav technique to add gold embossing to dies… and I love how this came out. Here's how I did it: I took my Versamark ink pad and randomly smushed some ink onto the leaves. I poured a generous amount of gold embossing powder over the leaves. Then I used a paint brush to haphazardly remove much of the embossing powder…. Then I heated them. Super cool and shiny!

I am already obsessed with these Fancy Leaves Dies!! (I also used them in my second project for today) There's a lot to love about them – first off, they cut like a dream. See those perfectly perfect lines??? Dreamy. And they are priced really well too. A good bargain for such large dies. Yep, gonna put these in rotation a lot.

I heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder onto cream cardstock and die cut it with the matching dies. (I LOVE matching dies for sentiments, don't you?!) I wrapped a strip of vellum around that top layer. Everything is affixed with foam tape!

I tried to find these gems for you – but they have been discontinued… They were the rainbow drops from FSJ and I love them. You could easily use Nuvo Drops, Enamel Dots or even clear dots for a little accent.

Next up is a fun tag I made with the new Pumpkin Juice stamp set! I'm going to save it for a gift bag and/or a bottle of wine tag! I could also affix a coffee gift card to the back! I stamped the image using brown ink on cream cardstock. I colored everything in with Copic Markers and added white gel pen accents. Such a fun image! I die cut two circles and one of the gorgeous leaves from the Fancy Leaves set….. and it all came together quickly!

My fav go to for the tops of tags is the gingham/twine/button combo!

Here's wishing you pumpkin spice and everything nice today!! Happy Fall Friday!! Leave a comment and tell me what you're up to this weekend!! XOXO
