When I first saw this Autumn paper, my eyes went straight to the feathers. I immediately ordered various feathers to put on this card.
I popped the "Golden Days" ephemera and popped a fussy cut collage of flowers and a pumpkin. I tucked the feathers behind the fussy cut items. The "Thankful" and "harvest" tags are one from the patterned paper and one from a sticker.
This is the easiest patchwork background. it is composed of 1 1/2 inch squares spaced 1/8 inch apart. I used 6 different patterned papers.
Originally this card was 6 x 6, but when I completed it, there was too much extra space. I took it apart and trimmed 1 inch from the left side and put it back together again. When I started working on the inside of the card that 1-inch piece of patchwork was just laying there on the table looking perfect, most because it was already completed. When I taught this in my class, we actually made the 6 x 6 patchwork and trimmed the inch off, reserving it for the inside. Why change a working procedure!
I added a piece of ephemera. This one leaves a nice place to write a note and sign the card.
I will be making 16 cards and 4 calendars with this Graphic 45 Seasons Paper. All of these SEASON cards can be made using:
Winter
Winter Birdhouse
Winter Cozy Snow Day
Winter Pop Up Gift Card Holder
Winter Box on Card
Winter Calendar
