Welcome to the Autumn or Halloween Themed Ink Stamp Share Blog Hop. Today I have used the Encircled in Nature stamp set and dies to create an Autumn themed card for you. I frequently drive an hour north of our home to visit our daughter and the foliage has been amazing. I just had to make a card with a bit of my own fall color!

The Fern 3D embossing folder makes the perfect backdrop for this fall leaf. Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Old Olive provided a beautiful combination of fall foliage. A ribbon and a few sparkly gems finish off the card and your can send your greeting. Speaking of greetings, this Sending Happy Thoughts from the Artful Amaryllis stamp set has become a go to greeting for me. It works for so many occasions.

instructions for the sending happy thoughts autumn card

1. Cut a Thick Very Vanilla card base 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and score at 4 1/4″.
2. Adhere a 5 1/4″ mat of Old Olive to the front.
3. After using the large wreath/circle die cut from Encircled in Nature dies to cut an opening in a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of Cajun Craze card stock, run it through the Cut & Emboss machine in the Fern 3D embossing folder.
4. Adhere to the Old Olive mat.
5. Stamp “Sending Happy Thoughts” in Early Espresso ink in the center of the opening.
6. Die cut the wreath from Early Espresso. Adhere around the “circle” cut in the Cajun Craze piece.
7. Cue cut two sprigs of leaves from Old Olive, Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry card stock. Use glue to adhere around the lower 2/3 of the wreath.
8. Tie a small bow with the Basic Beige ribbon and adhere.
9. Add 5 Adhesive Backed Metallic Gems around the wreath.
10. On the inside of the card base, stamp “You made my day” in Early Espresso ink.
