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. Link is above).

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?

Box Card Instructions

To create an A2 card

Step One

Cut a piece of cardstock 5.5 x 9 inches and score at 2.75 (half way) down the length of the paper.

Step two.

Turn paper and score every 2 1/8 inches across the length of the paper. You will have a small (approx. 1/2 inch space at the end),

Step 3

Next cut on lines just scored ONLY to the middle score line that runs perpendicular to the lines you are cutting. Remove excess piece from the cut side of the score line.

Step Four.

Fold along all score lines EXCEPT one of the flaps that you want to be the tall portion of your card.

Step 5

Glue the flap that you created to the inside of the opposite end of the piece to create your box shape

It should now look like this:

Step 6

Now you will cut the pieces for the inserts. You can cut up to 3 or 4 inserts depending on how many items you are placing in the box. They are cut to 3 1/8 x2.75 inches. Score on each side at 1/2 inch as shown below. Fold both score lines.

You will then add glue or tape to the 1/2" sections and glue to the inside of the box. They should be evenly spaced inside the box.

Next, all you have to do is decorate and give it to someone special!

I added a round yellow puffy sticker to the center, then the banner and chipboard flowers to the bottom.
