Good morning! Today we’re hopping along to celebrate the Autumn Afternoon release from Honey Bee Stamps! I have two cards to share today and you can find a video for one of the cards below or over at my Youtube channel!
I just love the Lovely Layers: Maple Leaf Honey Cuts die and thought it would be perfect to create an autumn themed card!
I used my Mijello Mission Gold watercolors to watercolor a few panels of cold-press watercolor paper and then die-cut them with the solid layer of the Maple Leaf die. Then I added more color and splatters of paint and metallic watercolors to give them a little more depth and dimension!
I die-cut the detail layer of the Maple Leaf die from gold glitter cardstock and then layered them onto a soft watercolor background. I added a sentiment from an older set to finish the card!
I had a leftover watercolored leaf and I didn’t want it to go to waste so I created a second more CAS card! I die-cut the detail layer again from gold glitter cardstock and also from Concord & 9th Eggplant cardstock.
I arranged them on the card panel and added a sentiment from the new Autumn sentiment set to finish the card! I’d love to know which one you prefer! 😉 Be sure to check out the full release and happy shopping! 🙂

Your cards are gorgeous! I love the glittery sentiment and leaves!
Lovely card! I ordered that leaf, so I’m happy to get some inspiration for it.
Lovely Layers is one of my favorites in this release. Love your card Jess and the one with the glitter gold is amazing. Thanks for sharing these.
Oh my gosh! I am so loving that maple leaf die set that you used to make the most beautiful leaves with! I absolutely love the gold glitter!
Love those leaves so much! Beautiful cards!
Peach ones and gold beautiful!
I could watch you paint for hours, Jessica! It’s so calming and anxiety-lowering, which, in this day of online ed, is really welcome! Thanks — gracias / merci! I love the way your cards came out and thank you for enabling me to dare to try watercoloring. I really have found that I like it but I would not have tried it if not for you and 1-2 other artisans who really gave me the confidence to begin.

Jess, these cards are stunning, a true reflection of this season. This maple leaf die set is amazing for the way it can create images, both solid and skeletal. tfs-stay well.

The words cut from the glitter cardstock on each design adds just the right amount of sparkle to these terrific, autumnal cards! 🍁🍂🍁

Those leaf dies are so gorgeous! Love the watercolouring for the leaves.
Lovely cards, the colors make me think of bon fires and crunchy leaves!
Absolutely gorgeous, Jessica!
Wow what you did with the leaves makes them look so real great job
Both cards are beautiful. Love the clean lines of the second card. Each element stands on its own yet blends harmoniously with the rest.
Beautiful work! I especially love the gold glittered leaf.
Very pretty cards. The leaves are awesome. I’ll have to check out your video on how to color like this.
Your cards are beautiful. Love your ideas.
