Snag some warm colors and get ready to create a farmhouse card that’s bringing all the Fall vibes and more!
Cooler weather and warm, rich colors are just around the corner. While we’ll always love summer, fall has our heart. Today our very talented designer, Marla, is bringing us a stunning project that delights our crafty soul. Our beautiful farmhouse, paired with oversized fall leaves in lovely, muted autumn hues, has us counting down the days until we can welcome this glorious season. We can’t wait to embrace all the cozy charm that fall brings! Follow along as Marla shows us how to create a warm autumn farmhouse card that truly delights.
- Cut a piece of woodgrain cardstock to 4.25″ x 5.5″.
- Use one of the medium 5819-01D Nested Frame #1 to cut a focal point for your scene.
- Add foam tape to the back of the Nested Frame.
- Using one of the largest dies from the 5704D Nested Tag Dies cut a layering piece for the sentiment .
- Cut a sentiment focal point using the next largest die used to cut your sentiment layer.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the solid tag piece using the 37043 Hello Fall Sign Sayings.
- Ink the edges of the sentiment piece using Distress Oxide in Ground Espresso.
- Add dimensional foam tape to the back side of the sentiment.
- Assemble the sentiment tag.
- Cut your leaves using white cardstock.
- Ink the leaves. Marla used Distress Oxide in Rusty Hinge, Crackling Campfire, Crushed Olive, Forest Moss, and Peeled Paint.
- Ink the edges of the leaves using Distress Oxide Ground Espresso and add detail using alcohol markers.
- Cut out the farmhouse and trees using 5722-04D Fall Farm and white cardstock.
- Ink the roof of the farmhouse with Distress Oxide Crushed Olive. Ink the edge of the roof and door with Distress Oxide Ground Espresso. Ink the window exterior with Distress Oxide Rusty Hinge and the interior with Fossilized Amber. Finally ink the farmhouse using Distress Oxide ink in Antique Linen before adding the woodgrain detail with alcohol markers.
- Finish the farmhouse by adding a hint of Distress Oxide Ground Espresso more heavily at the top of the roofline and only on the edges around the remaining sides before assembling the barn.
- Ink the tree trunk using Distress Oxide in Ground Espresso. Ink the trees using Fossilized Amber and Rusty Hinge before adding detail with alcohol markers.
- Add dimensional foam tape behind the farmhouse and the trees before assembling the card.
