Autumn Greetings bundle fun

 Hi Stampers!

I'm back today with an autumn theme. Our weather changed in a hurry and it actually feels more like winter outside but the snow isn't flying so I'm still in a pumpkin spice mood, how about you? I'm wondering if you noticed the "Autumn Greetings" bundle in the Aug-Dec Mini Catalog? It didn't grab my attention immediately but I eventually wanted to play with it and so ended up getting it. If you love to color, need some "weed" dies or love pumpkins, you might want to take a closer look!  Here are some initial ideas I've had:

This fun bundle comes with a huge floral spray of autumn delights. It was fun to color with my Stampin' Blends alcohol markers and easy to cut out with a coordinating die. I added a scrap of Designer Series Paper for the background and some ribbon. I wanted the background to be a little more interesting so I embossed it with the 3D Brick embossing folder. My "hello" sentiment is from the "Borders Around" stamp set. 

For my second project, I stamped the large floral stamp on a wood background piece of DSP from the "In Good Taste" supersized paper pack. I was curious what the pumpkin dies would look like so cut those out using Terracotta Tile card stock for the main area of the pumpkin and Cajun Craze card stock for the "lines" on the pumpkins.  They are easy to cut and adhere to each other. 

For this card, I used the Saddle Brown Stazon ink for my stamping and then used watercolor pencils and a blender pen for coloring. It's a more muted vibe than the alcohol markers, but also a fun technique. It works best if you use watercolor paper. After I was done with my coloring, I embossed the whole piece with the 3D Tasteful Textile embossing folder. It makes anything look like a fabric or canvas and I just love it! You can also see I used the "weed" dies in this card using various shades of card stock.  The brown in this card is a new In Color, Cinnamon Cider, which is perfect for autumn.

For my last card, I wanted to try something a little more monochromatic with Pretty Peacock, not exactly an autumn color but still a deep, rich tone. I used the big floral stamp again on a different piece of "In Good Taste" DSP and added a die cut edge and a little lace. You'll also see a tiny bit of DSP from the Halloween paper set this year, "Magic In This Night". 

Here's a look at the bundle, which I think helps you see what you could do with this set!
