I love this time of the year. The temperatures are cooling off, the plants are changing colour and things are slowly starting to slow down (outside in my garden anyway). For me, fall is always a comforting time of the year and it always feel like the perfect time to sit down and do some crafting while having a cup of tea!
And what better thing to craft while having a cup of tea than a beautiful set of cards to share the warmth and comfort of the season with others. I think we can all agree that the Farmhouse collection is one of those Doodlebug collections that is all about the warm and fuzzy so it's pretty much the perfect fit! Warm colours in classic Doodlebug colours with just the right amount of pastel...it's downright dreamy!
For these cards, I started with the coordinating set of Cards & Envelopes which just make the perfect base for your cards with the most lovely coloured envelopes to match! I used 12x12 papers called Farmhouse and Country Quilt for this set.
And then, because it is my absolute favourite thing to do on cards, I piled on the adorable die cuts that you can find in the Bits & Pieces and Odds & Ends pack. Layer them to get that bouquet feel with a combination of regular adhesive and foam adhesive.
Often times, I will pull the sentiments from the Chit Chat packs, but this time I actually used the ones that are on the back of the Country Quilt 12x12 paper. It ended up being a great way to use up some of the paper I had left over from the bases on my cards!
Oh, and don't forget a little mini jewel or two or three! I used the ones found in the Fall Assortment Mini Jewel selection, but dig into your stash to find ones you might already have that coordinate - because that's one of the amazing parts of the coordinating colour palette from Doodlebug. It doesn't have to say "fall" to match!
These cards won't stay in my stash too long! With a couple of birthdays this month and Thanksgiving up here in Canada at the beginning of October, I will have plenty of excuses to make more cards once these ones are out the door...like I needed an excuse though! ;) Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,
