Today’s project is a quick & easy card featuring one of my favorite layouts and the Rustic Harvest Suite Collection!
One of the reasons this is one of my favorite, go-to, simple card layouts is that the patterned panel is an economical size so you can get 12 pieces from a 12×12 sheet of Designer Series Paper!
Side note: DyCut is one of my absolute favorite apps for crafting! I use it all the time to maximize my cuts and get the most of out a full sheet of paper. It’s free and available in the Apple App Store for both iPhone and iPad.
If you take a closer look at this card, you’ll see texture on both the background Cajun Craze layer as well as on the pumpkin! The background texture comes from the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and the Harvest Dies both cut and add texture to the pumpkin pieces!
Another great trick when using dark colors is to use Basic White as a base/layer to really make those rich colors pop!
Here’s a card layout template for your reference and a link to the project sheet I created for this card:

I love your Monday emails. I don’t know what it is about them but they always seem like you write them just for me, which I know isn’t true, but they certainly seem that way. Today’s message reads the same way…like it’s a personal message just for me. I love this card and will be making some like it. Thank you for the picture, the instructions, tips, project sheet and all the other info. Starting off the day with a message from the Paper Pixie sure does make it a great day.
Awww, thank you so much, Helen! Your comment made my day! ❤️
I love this beautiful card, Julie, and the tips are wonderful. Enjoy your day!
