Today’s modern & quick autumn thank you card is defined by the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Days of Autumn Designer Series Paper. I adore those darling little trees and the yummy shades of Copper Clay, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Crushed Curry and Petal Pink!
WHAT I LOVE! The artistic style of this quick autumn thank you card is elevated in a snap with adhesive backed Earth Tones Shimmer Gems and Natural Tones Linen Thread, both in coordinating Copper Clay.
4 ways to elevate a quick autumn thank you card in a snap!
Here are some quick and easy ways to elevate an autumn-themed thank you card while keeping it simple:
- Textured Paper – Incorporate textured or embossed cardstock, like woodgrain or burlap patterns, to add depth and an autumn feel instantly.
- Die-Cut Leaves or Pumpkins – Use die-cut leaves or small pumpkins in fall colors (like rich oranges, browns, reds, or golds). You can easily adhere them around the sentiment for a pop of dimension.
- Gold or Copper Foil Accents – A touch of gold or copper foil, whether it’s a foil die-cut or a metallic pen detail, instantly gives the card a luxurious autumn vibe.
- Twine or Ribbon – A quick wrap of twine or a rustic ribbon tied in a bow can elevate the card and provide that cozy autumn touch.
Each of these techniques can add a special touch without overcomplicating the design, allowing you to create beautiful autumn thank you cards quickly and easily.
