Totally love Holiday breaks. Lots of time to craft. Let’s have some fun!
This afternoon I am playing with AAA Cards (#253) and their Fall theme; Seize The Birthday (#274) for the same; Alphabet (Letter Q) for Four of something; Retro Rubber (#220) Tic Tac Toe Board elements; and Color Dare (#576) for the color choices.
Here is the result:
Steps:
- Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Very Vanilla cardstock (for Shortbread).
- Background Panel: (4⅛” x 5⅜”) Very Vanilla cardstock.
- Frame: (3” x 4¾”) Pecan Pie cardstock (for Acorn) die-cut with the (2⅞” x 4½”) and (2⅜” x 4”) Elongated Hexagon dies from the Countryside Corners Dies set.
- Leaf Underlay: (5” x 5”) Very Vanilla cardstock.
- Using Blending Brushes, Early Espresso, retired Soft Succulent, Pretty Peacock and Pecan Pie inks were added to each corner area.
- Using the Solid Leaf die from the retired Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies set, each Leaf Underlay was die-cut.
- Leaves: Early Espresso (for Mocha), retired Soft Succulent (for Sage), Pretty Peacock (for Pine) and Pecan Pie cardstock scraps were die-cut with the coordinating Leaf Skeleton die from the same die set.
- Sentiment Label: (2⅜” x ¾”) Pecan Pie cardstock scrap.
- The sentiment, Happy Birthday, from the retired Guy Greetings stamp set (circa 2015) was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder.
- The Label was die-cut with the smallest Countryside Corners die.
- Linen Thread was wrapped around the left-side edge of the Label.
All elements were adhered to the card base. Two Leaves and the Sentiment Label were popped up with Dimensionals.
A great Fall themed Birthday card that works for a fellow but is suitable for all.
Thanks for spending some of your time with me today. Cheers, Jolanda!

You’ve created such a great birthday card, so perfect for the season. The leaves are so fitting to the leaves that are currently falling from the trees. The earthy shades with a touch of turquoise give an interesting colour combination, and the CAS design creates a wonderful masculine birthday card. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.
Hugs, Veronika
