Happy Fall + Happy to Give!

We had created a few fall cards to share with you today but first, we want to make a difference and help victims of Hurricane Dorian. You can't help but feel like it's so overwhelming but we love this crafty community and we know together, we can make a difference!
All sales this weekend 9/13-9/15 we will be giving 100% of our net profits to a Hurricane Relief Fund.
We are also doing a GIVEAWAY and all orders will get our Flamingo Die included in their order. The flamingo is their national bird and thought it was appropriate!
We can't wait to help!
************************************************
We love everything about fall! And especially the colors. Here are a few cards using some of our stamps that we could use all year long but just changing the colors and combinations, can easily give a fall feel.
We are all about a fun texture background. It's just a fast simple way to make a card look like so much more without all the fuss. All 3 cards have a different background. Stencils are one of those ways to create a quick pattern.
I used our thin stripe stencil for the diagonal pattern. I love Fresh Ink inks and for fall I've been using Mango, Grapefruit, Tangerine and Persimmon.
As you can see from the picture, I have 2 ways to add watercolor to the die cut flowers and leaves. Sometimes I will die cut and then color and sometimes I create a watercolor background and then die cut. I feel like when you add color after you've die cut, you definitely have more control with the color and the intensity. Products used: thin stripe stencil, woodland flower die cut, octagon greenhouse die, and spring floral cluster die.
Our glass dome die is a die from the very beginning when we first launched Flora & Fauna. There are so many options for this die. You can even cut the top off and just use the base as a cake plate option. For this card, I die cut it again with watercolor paper and added watercolor to the glass part and stamped Hello Autumn using our new mini coffee set.
a little piece of flower from the spring floral cluster die set.
This texture set is one of my favorites! I especially love the long chains that you can use to create a festive banner across the card.
A card like this is all about the color combination that you use. For this card, I used the Fresh Ink colors: grapefruit, persimmon and mango. LOVE! You could use any word die for this card. I happened to use our party banner die.
Products used: texture 7 set, party die
Happy Fall and have a great weekend!
