Celebrate Fall with a Pumpkin-Themed Card

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a fall card featuring pumpkins created with the Elizabeth Craft Designs Autumn Pumpkins die set. The background, a 49 and Market patterned paper, adds an elegant touch with minimal effort. A heartfelt sentiment, “May the bounty of the season fill your heart and home,” completes this simple yet meaningful card, perfect for spreading autumn cheer.

- Stamp the Penny Black sentiment in Potting Soil ink on to the patterned paper. Trim and add to an A2-size card base.
- Next, cut the pumpkins and leaves from soft finish cardstock with dies in the Autumn Pumpkins set. Color with Distress Inks and assemble as needed. Shape the leaves for additional depth.
- Cut additional flowers with dies in the Floral Greenery 1 set. Fill flower centers with prills.
- Lastly, add the pumpkins, leaves, and flowers to the prepared card base with foam adhesive and glue.

Holiday Greenery Card with Natural Elegance

Hello! Embrace the quiet elegance of nature with a card that feels like a festive visit to a garden nursery, featuring realistic poinsettias, evergreen, and berry boughs tucked into a flower bucket. Using Elizabeth Craft Designs die sets, I’ve crafted a serene design that’s perfect for spreading warm, understated holiday cheer.

- With the Flower Pot / Bucket die set, cut Soft Finish cardstock. Color with Distress inks and assemble.
- With the Florals 29, Holly Greenery, and Floral Greenery 1 die sets, cut Soft Finish cardstock. Color with Distress inks. Shape with flower tools if desired. (I have tools from Dress My Craft, Heartfelt Creations, and McGill.) Assemble. I used Dress My Craft Pollen for the centers of the two small white flowers.
- Create 5″ x 7″ card base and cover with Soft Finish cardstock. Add a 4 5/8″ x 6 5/8″ Evergreen Season Collection Solids 1 patterned paper panel.
- Stamp Holiday Snippets sentiment in brown ink on the smooth side of Soft Finish cardstock. Cut with small tag die (I used a die from a now-retired MFT tag set).
- Add assembled items and sentiment tag to the card front with foam and dot adhesive.

Die-cut Winter Bouquet Card

Hello! Today, I’m excited to share a Christmas card that brings the beauty of winter botanicals to life! Using Elizabeth Craft Designs stamps and dies, I crafted a floral spray featuring poinsettias, evergreen, and berry boughs. The realism of the elements makes this card a celebration of the season’s natural beauty.

When creating realistic blooms, I research the flower. Did you know that the poinsettia is the most popular flowering plant sold in the United States with more than 70 million sold nationwide each year? What we consider the petals are actually bracts, which are more like leaves than petals. The true flowers of poinsettias are the small clusters of yellow blooms in the center.

- With the Florals 29 and Holly Greenery die sets, cut Soft Finish cardstock. Color with Distress Inks. Shape with flower tools if desired. (I have tools from Dress My Craft, Heartfelt Creations, and McGill.) Assemble.
- Create 5″ square card base and cover with patterned paper. Cut doily shape with large die in the Joyous Ornament – Round set from white cardstock. With the circle die in the same set, cut another patterned paper. Add doily shape and circle to card base.
- Stamp Joyous Christmas sentiment in brown ink and cut with a die in the Layered Labels set.
- Add assembled floral items to card front. Add sentiment label with foam adhesive.

Elizabeth Craft Designs | Harvest Sunflowers

Hello and happy final week of August! Today, I am sharing a handmade card that brings the beauty of sunflowers to life! Featuring a wood barrel brimming with sunflowers, this card is created using Elizabeth Craft Designs die sets. I cut the pieces from white textured paper, coloring each piece with inks to achieve rich, vibrant tones that make the sunflowers pop.

- Cut pieces for sunflowers, leaves, and stems with the Florals 26 set from Soft Finish cardstock. Color with Distress Inks. Shape with flower tools if desired. (I have tools from Dress My Craft, Heartfelt Creations, and McGill.) Assemble.
- Cut pieces for barrel with dies in the Floral Foliage 1 set from Soft Finish cardstock. Color with Distress Inks and assemble. I previously shared a card HERE featuring the Floral Foliage 1 set.
- Create a 5″ x 7″ card base from textured white cardstock. Add patterned paper cut with the largest die in the Nestabilities 5 x 7 Matting Basics A set.
- Add barrel, flowers, and leaves to the card front with foam and dot adhesive.
- Stamp sentiment (I used an older SU set) on white cardstock in Potting Soil ink. Cut with small tag die (I used a now-retired MFT set).

Elizabeth Craft Designs | Autumn Scene

Hello! As the colors of fall begin to grace the trees, I was inspired to capture the season’s beauty on my latest card creation. Using the Elizabeth Craft Designs Floral Foliage 1 die set, I crafted a scene featuring a wooden barrel overflowing with realistically colored autumn leaves. The set includes a birdhouse, complete with a pair of birds. You can find more fall-themed handmade card inspiration HERE.

- Create a 5″ x 7″ card base. Cover the base with patterned paper, cut with the largest die in the 5″ x 7″ Matting Basics A set. (I used Simple Stories patterned paper from several years ago designed by Katie Pertiet; she is now creating products for 49 & Market.)
- With the Floral Foliage 1 set, cut pieces from Soft Finish cardstock, and color with Distress Inks. I used Brushed Silver cardstock for the bands on the barrel. Shape colored leaves with ball stylus tools. Add Finnabair black micro beads for the bird’s eyes.
- Stamp sentiment (SU set) in Potting Soil ink; cut with small tag die (I used a now-retired MFT tag.)
