I absolutely love the Gilded Autumn Designer Paper for fall cards and I noticed there was one pretty, but kind of odd patterned paper that I hadn’t used. It is actually the opposite side of this acorn and leaf paper and I had planned to use both sides on this card. But then I didn’t! I liked just the acorn and leaf print on this paper so I only used this one side on my Gilded Autumn Fall Acorn Card.
This card is just a simple, basic design we can all make very easily. You can keep it very simple or add some embellishments. It’s just a layer of designer paper on top of the card base and a greeting. That’s really all you would have to do.
The card base is Mint Macaron, one of the coordinating colors with the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper with its fall colors also has some papers with Gold Foil or Copper Foil accents. That’s what makes it so beautiful. It’s one of my favorites this season!
The greeting is stamped on Very Vanilla from the Gather Together Stamp Set. Then it was die cut with a circle in the Stitched Shapes Dies and layered on a Mint Macaron scalloped circle that I already had in my package of paper! I popped up the greeting on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Running underneath the greeting is a Just Jade ribbon in the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack. It’s not a perfect match but I think it is close enough and I like the gingham ribbon.
I couldn’t finish the card without doing a little more embellishing! I had a piece of the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper laying out on my desk and thought I’d see if some gold leaves would look okay behind the greeting. Then on the bottom of the greeting, I added three of the smallest Gilded Gems.
So if you are looking for an easy card to make for fall, just follow this simple design!
