GRADIENT BACKGROUND
For my first card I used the Sea Shore Gradient Cardstock Set. I cut stripes of about 1 1/3” out of each sheet from the set and adhered them onto a white panel. I used a thinner (80 lb) cardstock for the panel so with adhered gradient strips onto it the whole pics didn’t get too think. As next I was die cutting it using the Doodled Dots Cover Die.
After die cutting I adhered the gradient panel onto a white card base.
I grabbed two leaf branches from my stash of stamped and die cut elements (left from making another card – I always save those to then use on another project).
These branches were made using the Leaf Canopy Set.
I popped the branches up onto the card and them popped up a sentiment white embossed on black on top. Which finished off my card.
FALL TORN GRADIENT
For my next card I used the Summer Afternoon Gradient Cardstock Set. Here I made strips of each color with one torn edge and adhered them onto a Parchment card base with each strip shifted along the one next to it.
I stamped another Leaf Canopy branch using the Caramel Toffee and Paper Bag Inks onto a Caramel Toffee sheet from the set and then die cut it using the matching die. After that I popped it up onto the card.
Next I stamped a sentiment onto the catch using the Paper Bag Ink.
Lastly I wrapped a twine around the top part of the card tying a bow around the leaf branch.
PIERCED GARDEN PICKS
For my last card I used the Red Cosmos and Green Meadows Gradient Cardstock Sets. Here I made a pierced roses bouquet as the main element of the card.
Here first I die cut each sheet from the sets using the Pegboard Canvas Die and then die cut elements using Garden Picks 3D Dies. I die cut layers for two types of roses from the set and for the leaves I only die cut the bottom layers.
Then I assembled roses adhering their layer one on top of another.
Next I made a card base out of a Parchment Cardstock and added some brown splatters onto it. Followed by adhering the rose bouquet onto it. I adhered some elements flat and some I foam mounted using thin and regular black adhesive squares.
Lastly I added several Onyx Crystals and popped up the sentiment.

Beautiful cards. Love the texture of the pierced roses birthday card. Thanks for sharing.
Cathy Y
I absolutely fell in love with the card that has the diecut holes. In fact, I ordered the Pegboard Canvas die so I can make similar cards. You said you used the Cross Stitch Canvas die, but I do think it’s the Pegboard Canvas die. Just thought you might want to clarify that for anyone else who might want to order. Cheers!
Svitlana Shayevich
OMG! You’re absolutely right! I totally mixed up these two dies. Thank you for pointing this out! Hugs!
