Fall "Hello" from Spellbinders Seasonal Motif Collection

 

Hello Crafty Friends!

I love this time of year: trees are painting the world in the glorious colors of fall, the nature walks are calm and cool, and pumpkins are taking their share of the fall stage.  Fall is a perfect card theme to send a sweet hello to someone special.  Fall was in my heart and my inspiration for my project.

The Seasonal Label Motifs Collection was used to create the Hello card.  The Fall Label Motifs (S5-519) was the primary set used.  It is full of sweet dies for a fall project:

Scrap pieces of card stock were used extensively (great to use scraps!).  The pumpkin used copper card stock.  The other die cuts had Distress Ink (Vintage Photo) applied to the edges.

The banner is from the Let It Snowman Die Set (S5-533).  "Hello" from the Seasonal Motif Sentiments clear stamp set was stamped in brown and attached to the pumpkin.  

It is such a sweet gathering of fall beauties!

The window was die cut from white paper and light gold glitter stock.  It was all mounted on a textured piece of ivory card stock, white card stock, and a Kraft top fold card base.

These dies and stamps are available from Spellbinders right now! Click here: The Seasonal Label Motifs Collection.

Supplies:

The Seasonal Label Motifs Collection -  Fall Label Motif Etched dies, Seasonal Motif Clear Stamp set, and Let It Snowman die set.

I do hope you enjoyed the card!  

Thank you stopping by and have a happy, crafty day.
