Jeanne Bobish : Happy Harvest Collection with 3 Cards

Today I have created three colorful fall cards using the Happy Harvest collection from Spellbinders.

The first card is entitled Family Blessings.

To create this card, I started with a white card base and added a light blue layer for the sky. I then took a piece of green and placed that at the bottom for the grass. The die cuts were all cut from various colors of papers. For this card, I used the following die sets: Scare a Crow, Wagon Full of Fall, and Welcome Fall. I stamped the sentiment with the Happy Harvest Stamp set.. I printed the corn 4 sale sing with a black fine-liner pen. The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Claire Nocturn Ink.

The second card is Autumn Time:

This card was also made with a white base card. I started by stenciling the clouds directly on the card using Weathered Wood Distress Ink. I then cut a piece of green to create the ground. The sign and basket were both die cut and inked using Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The die sets used to create the remainder of the card are Spellbinders Welcome Fall and SpellbindersWagon Full of Fall. The sign was stamped using the Happy Harvest Stamp Set using Hero Arts Unicorn White Ink. The tree branches were cut using the Welcome Fall die and the it was cut to fit into the corner. Then I added some colorful fall leaces from the same die set.

And finally, the last card of the three is another box card. I wanted to create the look of a scarecrow in a field of corn.

I started with the basic box made from Navy Blue cardstock. I then covered all the panels with this pretty paper from Falloween Prints paper pack. . The upright panel was cut from white cardstock and made to look like a cloudy sky using a cloud stencil from Michaels. I die cut numerous corn and stalk pieces from the Scare A Crow set. They were all placed in the box on the dividers along with the scarecrow, and crow from the same set. I made pumpkins and leaves for the two side panels from the Welcome Fall and the Scare a crow sets. The from sentiment was made placing a strip of orange cardstock with an oval die cut from the Journey Ovals Die set. and then stamped the sentiment with black ink using the happy harvest stamps set.

I really love these die sets! They can be interchanged or used with other stamps and dies to create an endless variety of fall cards. I hope you like them! Which is your favorite?

Step 6
