Happy Autumn Mushroom Shaker

Hello crafty friends! It’s Lisa Mears on the blog today and I’m super excited to share a cozy and whimsical fall-themed card that I made using the fall release!

My card features a Mushroom Shaker element that adds a fun touch to the design. I also incorporated a mushroom-stenciled background and some beautiful fall foliage to really capture that autumn vibe.

I started off by creating my card background. I used the Layered Mushrooms Stencils with the following Distress Oxide inks: Abandoned Coral, Dried Marigold, and Antique Linen.

For the white dots on the mushroom caps, I used Scrapbook.com Cloud Whip along with a palette knife to spread the Cloud Whip into the holes on the stencil. The Cloud Whip is a bright white paste which not only gives dimension to the card, but also allows for a nice white color over the colored ink. Using Cloud Whip is so much easier than trying to add white ink over top of the red and orange mushroom caps.

The mushroom shaker is the centerpiece of my card. I die cut the mushroom die with white cardstock and inked the cardstock with Abandoned Coral and Antique Linen Distress Oxide inks. I added the Fall Mushroom Clay Confetti Mix to the inside of the shaker. Be sure to watch my video to see how I made the mushroom shaker.

For the foliage, I used the Solid Fall Foliage stencils along with the following Distress Oxide inks: Rustic Wilderness, Fired Brick, Spiced Marmalade, Scattered Straw, Walnut Stain, and Ground Espresso. After inking the foliage on the stencil, I used the Solid Fall Foliage coordinating dies to cut the foliage out. I added the foliage around the mushroom and I used the Happy Autumn sentiment from the Solid Fall Foliage stamp set.

Happy Crafting!
