My apologies for the inconvenience *** Hello, crafty friends! 🍂 Fall is finally here, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to create cozy, seasonal cards. Today, I’m sharing a delightful Fall Wreath pop-up card
featuring products from the Honey Bee Stamps Falloween Release, that is sure to bring a warm smile to anyone’s face. I used a variety of dies, stencils, and embellishments to craft this wreath, complete with vibrant sunflowers, a cute pumpkin, and layers of fall florals. Let's dive into the details of how I put this card together!
The Design
I began by die-cutting all the key elements from the Seasonal Signs Dies, including the circle for the wood frame, the red bow, the pumpkin, and the hanger. These pieces formed the base of my wreath, giving it structure and dimension.
Next, I moved on to inking the word "Fall" using the Seasonal Signs Stencil. After blending the ink onto the circle die-cut, I ran it through my die-cutting machine with the Woodgrain 3D Embossing Folder to create a realistic wood grain texture. To make this texture stand out even more, I blended Hickory Smoke Oxide Ink over the raised areas, giving the wood a weathered, rustic look.
To complete the wooden frame effect, I used my Scor-Pal Mini Scor-Buddy to press horizontal lines into the paper, mimicking planks of wood. With the help of a ruler and a Copic marker, I drew over these embossed lines, enhancing the realistic wood grain feel.
Once the wood frame was complete, I started building up the wreath with floral and decorative elements. The lovely sunflowers and fall leaves were cut using the Lovely Layers: Mini Fall Florals Dies, which added vibrant pops of color to the design. I used various distress oxide inks to blend colors onto the die-cuts, bringing life to the florals and leaves.
Floral and Wreath Details
The flowers are the highlight of this wreath, and I created them with the Lovely Layers: Mini Fall Florals Dies. The sunflowers, with their bright yellow petals and gem-encrusted centers, were a real show-stopper. I used Fall Is In The Air Pearl Stickers and Fall Is In The Air Gem Stickers for extra sparkle and shine.
To add even more depth to the wreath, I arranged the die-cut leaves around the sunflowers and tucked in a small pumpkin die-cut at the bottom of the wreath, keeping everything cohesive and full of autumn charm.
Assembly
To create the pop-up frame for my card, I first cut out the top frame using the second-largest square from the Double Stitched Square Dies, cutting it from a 5.5-inch square piece of cardstock. This would frame the wreath beautifully.
Next, I cut two pieces of cardstock measuring 5.5 inches by 2 inches and scored each piece at every half inch. I folded these pieces accordion-style to create springs, which I then attached to the back of the square top frame. These springs added the perfect pop-up dimension for the card.
For extra dimension behind the wreath, I created another pop-up spring. This piece measured 2.5 inches by 5 inches, and I scored it every half inch, three times, before folding it. I glued this piece directly behind the wreath to make it stand out even more.
Once the springs were in place, I adhered the entire top frame and wreath onto the card base, where I had already glued a piece of patterned paper from the Fall Is In The Air Paper Pad. This patterned background added a cozy, autumnal feel to complement the dimensional elements of the wreath.
Finishing Touches
To complete the design, I added some white gel pen details to enhance the die-cut elements, giving them extra highlights and depth. For added dimension and shine, I applied Glossy Accents to the "Happy" die-cut from the Great Greetings: Everyday Dies and to the pumpkin stem, making those areas pop and stand out against the rest of the design.
This Fall Wreath pop-up card is one of my favorite fall projects so far using the latest
Honey Bee Stamps Falloween Release! The combination of woodgrain texture, bright florals, and warm autumn hues makes it the perfect seasonal greeting card. I hope you’ll give it a try and enjoy making your own festive creations.
