How to Make a Fall Mushroom Bouquet Card

Autumn Cards are all the rage right now, and this gingham mushroom bouquet is giving the perfect Fall vibes.

Happy first day of August! With “Christmas in July” behind us (yet always in the background, because Christmas cards take months, bro), we are ready to look onward towards the “BER” months and start crafting for fall. Autumn is definitely our favorite season, mainly because the color palette, but also because it radiates warmth and coziness. Today our designer, Maurilia, said, “I have had my eye on this mushroom bouquet for a while and I’m so glad to be working with it.” Follow along as she shows us how to make a Fall Mushroom Bouquet Card.

• First using 5708-03D Nested Woodgrain Sign Die die cut the inner wood panel from light kraft cardstock. Next you will want to ink blend this wood panel in a shaded of brown for a realistic wood panel look. Here I used Distress Oxide in the shade of Frayed Burlap. Next die cut the outer sign using the brown-orange sheet from 2005 Harvest Time Paper Pad.
• Die cut all the elements from 5726-01D Fall Mushroom Bouquet Die. The mushrooms were die cut from white cardstock and then shaded in Distress Oxides Candied Apple and Crackling Campfire for the tops and the stems in Antique Linen. The leaves were die cut using light and dark green from 2001 Autumn Leaves Paper Pad and 22005 Harvest Time Paper Pad. The flowers and berries used light and dark orange from both paper pads just mentioned above. The acorns from 5623-02D Fall Mushroom Acorn Die were die cut from kraft card stock as well as the berry twigs and then shaded using Distress Oxide Vintage Photo.
• Stamp the word Thankful and For your Friendship in dark brown ink from 36057 Thank You Stamp and die cut the coordinating die 36057D Thank you Die.
• Select the plaid sheet from 2005 Harvest Time Paper Pad cut and adhere to a folded base card. Adhere the brown-orange sheet outer sign to the plaid. For dimension add foam tape to the woodgrain panel and adhere to brown-orange sheet outer sign.
• Add foam tape to the Thankful sentiment and adhere to the lower bottom woodgrain panel. Add foam tape to For your Friendship and place in the lower left side below Thankful.
• Adhere foam tape to the mushrooms and center them above the Thankful word. Fill in with the leaves, flowers, berries and acorns. Adhere a flower leaves mini acorn and berries in the upper right-hand corner to balance and complete the panel.
• For the inside an outer sign panel was cut from white card stock and stamped Thanks for always being so wonderful in dark brown ink. decorate with remaining die cuts of an acorn and flower and leaf.
