Autumn Themed Blog Hop - September 2021 | Gorgeous Leaves Meets Nature's Harvest

Leaves, flowers and sweaters is what makes me think of Autumn!

Hello friends!  I hope you are doing amazing on this thankful Thursday.  Today I am hopping with some Crafty Collaborators along the Autumn-Themed Blog Hop as we share lots of inspiration related to, yes, all things autumn.  There are several of us hopping today - you will find the list to follow along towards the bottom of my blog post - so sit back and enjoy your favorite coffee, tea, water or smoothie as we share some handmade projects with you!

Today's Project

There's nothing like the changing of the leaves and the cool brisk air to make you smile and want to cozy up with a warm cup of cocoa or cider.  Right?!?

Project Details

The Knit Together image was stamped with Calypso Coral ink on a Very Vanilla cardstock layer and die-cut with the pointed Basic Borders die.  The layer was adhered to a Very Vanilla cardstock layer embossed with the Timbers 3D Embossing Folder.  The leaves (extras from this project) were grouped together with the Nature's Harvest cone flower images stamped in Crumb Cake ink on Very Vanilla scraps.  The cone flowers were colored with Dark So Saffron, Light Mossy Meadow, Light Granny Apple Green and Dark Soft Suede Stampin' Blends Markers and then fussy cut.  Yes, there is a coordinating die to use with this image, but I opted for the relaxation of fussy-cutting this morning!  **WINK**

Linen Thread was wrapped around the layers twice and tied off with a bow.  The Heartfelt Wishes sentiment was stamped in Crumb Cake ink onto a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, trimmed to fit the cardfront, and adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.  

To complete the card, the inside and envelope were stamped to coordinate with the card front.  Stamping the envelope is a personal touch that I love adding as it's a sneak peek to the recipient for what's inside.

More Inspiration

I hope you have been inspired to create a autumn-themed card to share with someone to get them smiling.  Now it's time to continue along the blog hop - you're currently with me, Angie McKenzie, at #28 - to get more inspiration from the others... so look at the list below and continue along.  You definitely don't want to miss any.
