Step by Step Tutorial: Create a Simple and Pretty Autumn Birthday Card

Hi there, this is Annie Williams, and I’m thrilled to create this pretty autumn birthday card step-by-step with you today using the new Texture & Foliage Collection by Suzanne Hue. How to Create a Simple and Pretty Autumn Birthday Card, E3D-139, BP-318, S5-598, S5-595 The beautiful sentiments and versatile embossing folders in this collection are the perfect addition to some of Suzanne’s previously released wreath dies.  Here I’m creating an easy wreath card made for a loved one’s autumn birthday. How to Create a Simple and Pretty Autumn Birthday Card, E3D-139, BP-318, S5-598, S5-595 Apply Brushed Corduroy Distress Oxide Ink to the front flap of the Linen 3D Embossing Folder using a brayer (this helps ensure even ink coverage). How to Create a Simple and Pretty Autumn Birthday Card, E3D-139, BP-318, S5-598, S5-595 Trim a piece of Fawn Cardstock to 4” x 5.25”. Carefully place it inside the inked embossing folder and run it through your die-cutting machine using the correct sandwich for 3D embossing folders. How to Create a Simple and Pretty Autumn Birthday Card, E3D-139, BP-318, S5-598, S5-595 Die cut Rainforest and Fern Cardstock five times each using the leaf sprig die from the Garden Wreath Add-Ons Die Set. How to Create a Simple and Pretty Autumn Birthday Card, E3D-139, BP-318, S5-598, S5-595 Adhere the embossed panel onto a top-folding A2-sized white card base with a tape runner.  Add a circle of Fern die-cut leafy sprigs on top of the card front with liquid glue. How to Create a Simple and Pretty Autumn Birthday Card, E3D-139, BP-318, S5-598, S5-595 Next, add a circle of Rainforest die-cut leafy sprigs on top of the darker wreath layer with liquid glue, offsetting the layers to give the appearance of a fuller wreath. How to Create a Simple and Pretty Autumn Birthday Card, E3D-139, BP-318, S5-598, S5-595 Die cut white, Beeswax, Mirror Gold, and Truffle Cardstock using the flower and center dies from the Build-A-Wreath Die Set. How to Create a Simple and Pretty Autumn Birthday Card, E3D-139, BP-318, S5-598, S5-595 Apply Squeezed Lemonade and Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink to the flower centers with a sponge dauber for depth and shading. How to Create a Simple and Pretty Autumn Birthday Card, E3D-139, BP-318, S5-598, S5-595 Apply Gold Hot Foil to white cardstock using the Birthday Wishes Sentiments Press Plate and the Glimmer Hot Foil System. How to Create a Simple and Pretty Autumn Birthday Card, E3D-139, BP-318, S5-598, S5-595 Die cut all of the sentiments out in one pass using the coordinating die from the Birthday Wishes Sentiments Press Plate & Die Set.  (Secure the die in place with Best Ever Craft Tape to ensure a perfect cut!) How to Create a Simple and Pretty Autumn Birthday Card, E3D-139, BP-318, S5-598, S5-595 Add the flowers and sentiment to the card front using foam squares. How to Create a Simple and Pretty Autumn Birthday Card, E3D-139, BP-318, S5-598, S5-595 Embellish with Gold Mix Gems.  (I like to use a “pokey tool” to pick and place gems on my card front.)
