Fall is just around the corner. I love the fall colours, cooler air, and wearing pants and sweaters again. Thanksgiving is one of my favourite holidays. 

I have a simple Fall card to share with you today using the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper and Beauty of Friendship Stamp Set. The paper is beautiful and versatile. I used the Stitched Greenery die to do the background and add texture. 

Measurements:

  •  Basic White cardstock - 4 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4; scrap for the sentiment
  • Old Olive cardstock - 4 x 5 1/4 embossed with the Stitched Greenery die
  • Misty Moonlight cardstock - 4 3/8 x 3 1/8
  • Designer Series Paper - 4 1/4 x 3
  • Braided Twine - 14"

Instructions:

  1. Fold the card base in half.
  2. Adhere the Old Olive embossed cardstock to the card base.
  3. Adhere the DSP to the Misty Moonlight cardstock.
  4. Wrap twine around this piece and tie a knot. Fray the ends.
  5. Adhere this piece to the card front using Dimensionals.
  6. Stamp the sentiment on the die cut using Misty Moonlight ink.
  7. Adhere this piece to the card front using Dimensionals.
Give this card a try using the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper or any paper you have on hand - simple and beautiful!

Thank you for stopping by and viewing my card.
