Fall is in the air. You can see it everywhere right now. Magazine covers are filled with cozy fall meals, autumn decorating, and pumpkins. And while fall technically lasts for months, it feels like such a short season when it comes to crafting. Before we know it, we’re thinking about Christmas cards. I want to embrace fall while it’s here.
This roundup is all about non-Halloween fall cards that feel like fall. Click on the photo to visit the original post for additional details. Please note: some of the products used may no longer be available. This roundup is intended to provide inspiration rather than serve as a current shopping guide.
I use these roundups as a visual roadmap for my own crafting. Seeing everything together helps me remember what I already own, spot supplies I’ve forgotten about, and identify the things that might be worth adding to my collection.
The pumpkin is instantly recognizable as seasonal. In these die-cut designs, a whimsical house for a squirrel, a cozy home for woodland creatures, and the focal point of a card with florals.
There’s something especially appealing about imagining how woodland creatures might enjoy fall. A wagon ride with pumpkins or a cozy spot to curl up turns familiar autumn motifs into charming little die-cut scenes.
I also love fall cards that make me feel like I could step right into the scene. These watercolored designs do that, one a porch scene featuring a cat and dog and the other a pickup loaded with seasonal goodies. Both capture the atmosphere of the season.
Fall has a wonderful richness that translates beautifully to cardmaking. For me, that’s part of the appeal of fall cardmaking: to capture the warmth of the season before it disappears. I am looking for ways to include cozy textures and the fall color palette in my choices of cardstock, embossing folders, and patterned paper.
