Lovely Lavender Alternate #7

This cheerful fall fun fold card combines pretty plaid, textured layers and a trio of colorful pumpkins! I used Calypso Coral and Basic White cardstock with Painted Patch Designer Series Paper for a fresh, welcoming autumn look. The Basic White panels are embossed with the Stone & Leaves embossing folder, adding a lovely leafy texture that complements the pumpkin patch theme. The diagonal cut give the card extra interest while allowing the layered focal point to take center stage. For the centerpiece, I layered a plaid panel over a Calypso Coral arch, creating a frame for pumpkins die cut from Calypso Coral, Timid Tiger and Crisp Cantaloupe. I love how these three shades work together, giving each pumpkin its own personality! Old Olive leaves and curling vines weave around the pumpkins and extend up the arch, bringing a touch of greenery to the design. A Basic White label with the “Warm wishes” greeting finishes the card beautifully, making it a sweet way to send a little autumn happiness to someone special.

This card is such a fun way to say “Oh, Happy Day!” It could be used for a retirement, birthday or any special occasion. I started with Basic Black Cardstock, which creates a bold frame and really makes the softer colors stand out. The beautiful watercolor background comes from the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper, with a little black-and-white pattern peeking out for added interest. The balloons from Balloon Festoon add the perfect touch of whimsy and dimension, while the greeting from the Greetings for All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack makes creating the focal point quick and easy. I love how all of these elements come together for a cheerful card that could be used for a birthday or just about any happy occasion!

This cheerful Stampin’ Up! card features a soft, monochromatic color palette with Crisp Cantaloupe from Painted Pattern Designer Series Paper, using the playful polka dots and coordinating horizontal strips. The oversized “Thinking of You” greeting that is die cut in Crisp Cantaloupe using the "Thinking of You" dies takes center stage, layered over Basic White for added dimension. Adding Crisp Cantaloupe Bordered Ribbon, a delicate White Baker's Twine bow, and 2026-28 In Color Gems provide the perfect finishing touches to this sweet card that is sure to brighten someone’s day.

This fun easel card features a beautiful mix of warm, earthy colors. The flowers from the Lovely Arrangements Bundle were created using the no-line coloring technique with Pecan Pie, Basic Beige, and Golden Glow, then layered with leaves from Nature's Symphony Dies against a rich Peaceful Pine background. Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake cardstock add softness, while a striped piece of Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper brings extra pattern and interest. Peaceful Pine Bordered Ribbon, tied in a simple bow, and coordinating embellishments complete the card front. The birthday greeting inside serves as the stopper that holds the easel open, making this card as fun to display as it is to receive!
