Fall Designs Group Post (Day 1)

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. This post is featuring cards using the new Fall Release. There are 15 designs in this release and are available in the online store with special pricing.

The designs are so perfect for all your Fall projects- birthday, Thanksgiving, thinking of you, encouragement and home decor just to name a few.  They allow you to add a beautiful touch of Fall to whatever you may be creating.

We have had a good response when we do a group post on a new release. It gives you the opportunity to see more card samples from the Design Team. There are 3 samples in today's post and on Friday we will have another 3 samples.

Now onto our samples for today. 

Card 1: Our first sample today is from Marla Harris. She is featuring the Harvest Foliage, Fall Branch w/Swing and Autumn Friends dies.   

She took a step away from the traditional fall colors and created a vibrant card ready to brighten someone's day. 

The jewel toned leaves make a great frame for her bird on the swing. It's an ink smooshing technique.  The embossed background was inked before she ran it through her machine. You can see the process video on her YouTube channel - here.  

 

Card 2: Our next sample today is from Pam MacKay. Her card is featuring the Harvest Pumpkins and Fall Barrel dies in a larger format - 6 1/4" x 4 1/4". 

Her idyllic scene is so reminiscent of many yards across the land. It calls to mind images of cooling weather, golden sunlight, and fields of pumpkins ready to be picked before the frost arrives.  

Card 3: Our 3rd and last sample today is one that I (Mary Marsh) created using the Fall Scarecrow die.  I just couldn't resist the happy expression on his sweet little face. It doesn't seem like he could scare the birds away. 

I stenciled some clouds using prize ribbon distress ink and added some grass with peeled paint distress ink. The sun is from the Stitched Clouds, Sun & Umbrella die.  

I thought it would be a great Thanksgiving card to send to friends who have young boys. 

That's it for our samples for today. Stop back again on Friday for Day 2 of the Fall Release to check out what the other designers have created.
