Sunflower Basket

Hello, crafty friends! It’s Leica here and I’m thrilled to share a fall-themed Thank You card that’s a breeze to create thanks to the fall dies and stencils from Pretty Pink Posh. The best part? No marker coloring required this time, making it a real treat. I’ve been all about these marker-free creations lately!

So, let’s dive in. I started with a 4.5-inch white cardstock, which served as the canvas for my card. To give it a fun backdrop, I used the Layered Fall Wreath Stencils. Using Distress Oxide Inks in shades like Dried Marigold, Mowed Lawn, Spiced Marmalade, and Twisted Citron, I was able to achieve the look of patterned paper with the magic of PPP stencils. 

Next up, I cut the Easter Basket Dies in kraft cardstock and filled it to the brim with gorgeous sunflowers. I created these blooms using the Fall Cornucopia and Fall Mug Additions dies, all cut from Spellbinders cardstock. To add an extra dash of charm, I nestled some leaves behind the sunflowers and playfully placed a couple of acorns on the left side of the basket.

For the sentiment, I went with the heartfelt ‘Thankful For You’ stamped from the Sentiment Strips: Fall stamp set onto a tag, discreetly tucked behind one of the sunflowers. To frame the stenciled panel, I cut a dark green cardstock to  4.75-inch square and layered my stenciled panel atop it. This gave the card a splendid border of color. Finally, I glued the card panel onto a white card base.

And that’s a wrap for my card! I have to gush about how much I adore the Easter Basket Dies—it’s such a delight to fill it with cheerful sunflowers for an autumn-themed masterpiece. My hope is that this card inspires you to dust off this basket die and embark on your own crafting journey this season. Happy crafting!
