Fall - Right as Rain

Newton’s Nook | Cozy Fall Card

Hello! There’s nothing like settling in with a good book and a warm cup of coffee on a crisp autumn day, which is the feeling I wanted to capture with today’s card. I used the Newton’s Nook Autumn Reads stamp set to create stacks of books accented with pumpkins and one topped with a steaming mug. The images are stamped and watercolored in rich fall hues, and the simple sentiment, “Happy Fall,” ties it all together with seasonal charm.

- Add Summer Snapshots Collection patterned paper panel to an A2-size card base.
- Stamp Autumn Reads images on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper. Color with medium of choice. I used watercolor markers and Distress inks. Once dry, cut with the coordinating die set.
- Stamp the Fall Roundabout sentiment and cut with the smallest Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle.
- Add elements to prepared card base.

Newton’s Nook | Cozy Fall Porch

Hello! Few things capture the charm of autumn like a cozy porch scene! For this handmade card, I used Newton’s Nook supplies to create a sweet image of a cat and dog on a porch surrounded by festive fall décor. The warm fall colors bring out the season’s cozy spirit.

I stamped the Fall Friends scene on watercolor paper and colored the image with Tombow markers. Once dry, I cut the image with the coordinating die set. I finished the scene with a sentiment in the Fall Roundabout set, which I cut with one of the dies in the Banner Duo set.

For the base, I used Taylored Expressions Sweet Basil cardstock and gingham patterned paper from the Simple Stories Front Porch Collection pad.

Hero Arts | Apple Frame

Hello! Today I am sharing a fall-themed card that highlights the Hero Arts I Pick You Collection, which includes the Apple Frame die set designed to create a frame of layered apples, leaves, and flowers. I die-cut the pieces from Bristol cardstock and colored the pieces with Distress Oxide inks. The design is finished with a stamped sentiment, “You’re So Golden,” for an uplifting touch.

- To begin, cut the Apple Frame, leaves, apples, flowers, and flower centers from Bristol cardstock.
- Color frame with Distress Oxide inks, masking areas for different colors as needed.
- Apply blue ink to a Bristol cardstock A2-size panel. Add to the back of the inked frame panel. Attach assembly to card base.
- Color leaves, flowers, flower centers, and apples with Distress Oxide inks. Assemble flowers as needed. Add elements to the card front.
- Stamp the You’re Golden sentiment and cut with the coordinating die. Add to the card with foam adhesive.

Just like apple picking brings a wave of nostalgia and marks the cozy arrival of fall, this apple vine border card celebrates the simple joys of the season.

Newton’s Nook | Harvest Haul

Hello! Nothing says autumn quite like a vintage pickup truck loaded with seasonal treasures! For this handmade card, I used Newton’s Nook supplies to stamp a fall scene. The heartfelt sentiment, “May the colors of fall bring you a harvest of joy,” captures the charm of the season. I know that I’m drawn to the rich colors of autumn.

- Stamp the Newton’s Nook Harvest Haul sentiment on to gold cardstock. Cut with a square (4 1/4″) stitched die. Cut ground with the same die and add to the sentiment panel. Add assembly to a prepared card base.
- Stamp Harvest Haul pickup and leaves. Color with media of choice. I used Tombow markers. Watercoloring stamped images is a soothing process for me; it’s a chance to slow down and enjoy the process.
- Once dry, cut the images with the coordinating dies. Add to the card base with glue and foam adhesive.

Do you have a favorite fall motif for your crafting that inspires your seasonal cards?

Art Impressions | Happy Harvest Front Porch

Hello! There’s nothing quite like a front porch dressed up for the season! Today, I’m sharing a handmade card created with supplies from Art Impressions , featuring a welcoming door and porch decorated for fall. I stamped and watercolored the image to bring out all the cozy autumn details and finished the design with a heartfelt sentiment.

- Dry-emboss the Fawn cardstock base with the Honey Bee Burlap folder. Add to an A2-size card base.
- Stamp the Front Porch Door and Harvest Set elements on to Arches Cold Pressed Watercolor paper with Archival Ink. Watercolor with media of choice. I used Tombow markers. Die-cut elements with the coordinating dies. I fussy-cut the door as the coordinating die punches out the windowpanes.
- Add elements to the prepared card base, using foam adhesive as needed.
- Stamp the sentiment on to a watercolor paper strip. I used the now-retired Elizabeth Craft Designs Autumn Words stamp set. Add sentiment strip below the porch.

I’d love to know—do you decorate your front porch for the season?
