Haunted House Die Set

Spooky Sky Die Set

Flames & Flags Die Set

Framework Die Set

Hi everyone! It’s Rosie and I am sharing a few Halloween Cards highlighting the Trick or Treat Puppy Stamp Set. I always color the puppies a tan color to resemble my dog, Salem. He is always up for doing tricks for treats! I stamped, colored and die cut all the puppies twice. This left with lots of little puppy dogs to create with. Then I pulled out my Minc machine and used holographic foil with the spider web print from the Spooky Halloween Toner Card Fronts. I also used the negative foil on a solid black toner card front. I really loved the foil backgrounds and didn't want to cover much of it up so I pulled out the Framework Die Set and Flames & Flags Die Set. I cut one of the inside scallop dies from black cardstock and matted that on heavy-weight vellum. Then I die cut another vellum piece from a stitched rounded rectangle die. These two die sets are by far, my most used die sets. 

I white heat embossed the two sentiments on black cardstock and then also stamped on white cardstock. I wasn't sure of my design so I just stamped both. Then I layered everything together and used the same die set to die cut the sentiments. Since I used vellum, I used a tape runner and foam tape to adhere everything together. 

Bonus Card: 

It wouldn't be a Rosie post without a bonus card! For this card I ink blended a background panel using a few pink/purple/blue Reactive Inks. I splattered with a shimmer spray and white acrylic to look like a night sky. I die cut the Spooky Sky Die Set and ink blended for dimension. I also die cut the Haunted House Die Set and added vellum behind the windows and popped it up with thin foam tape. I fussy cut the clack cardstock hill for the house to sit on. I white heat embossed the sentiment directly on the ink blended panel. Everything was layered together and I finished the card with two cute Trick or Treat puppies. 

 

Thank you for visiting the blog today! I hope this inspires you to start your Halloween cards!

Autumn Themed Reading Card by Samantha Mann

Autumn Leaves and Cozy Reads Card!
Today we are sharing this perfectly fall book themed card by Samantha!

This card features:
Falling Leaves Stencil
Puppy's Reading List Stamp Set
Puppy's Reading List Die Set

Autumn Reads Stamp Set

Autumn Reads Die Set

I started by stamping the images from the Puppy's Reading and Autumn Reads stamp sets. I used lots of those little leaves from the Autumn Reads set, which is so fun to me! I love using the little images from the sets to make a big impact! I colored in the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers using pinks and yellows. I added some details with a white gel pen and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. 

To create the background of the card, I used a piece of white cardstock and did some ink blending in a simple rainbow order. I used Uncharted Mariner, Peacock Feathers, Squeezed Lemonade, Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon, Abandoned Coral and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks. 
Then I used the Falling Leaves Stencil and some white embossing paste to add some added texture to the background. 

I used some foam tape behind the large image and then added the leaves with glue directly to the background! I really love how it came out! 
To complete the card, I added the sentiment to the book to finish off the fall theme!

Birthday Dog Card by Amanda Wilcox

Happy Birthday to You Card

Hey friends! This is Amanda from Twiddler's Nook. Hi friends! Today I'm sharing more inspiration featuring the new release plus reinvigorating some fabulous older products! I love it when the new does that for the old. Let's dive in!

This card features:
Dog Builder Die Set
Birthday Accessories Die Set
Oval Frames Die Set
Birthday Oval Stamp Set

I started this card with the vision that my puppy would fit in the center of the Birthday Oval Stamp Set but when I physically had it all in front of me, the vision changed. Not a lot this time, but enough and I want to make space for everyone to remember that it's okay to change your mind in the middle of the process. Go with your gut!
So using the guide on the packaging of the Dog Builder Die Set, I die cut and ink blended all the pieces of my pup, including the collar and tag this time. I used liquid glue to assemble and then also cut a birthday hat using the Birthday Accessories Die Set.

 

Next, I haphazardly ink blended yellow and green (matching my pup's accessories) on a white panel. I stamped the Birthday Oval Stamp Set on it and die cut it with the next-to-biggest Oval Frames Die Set. For a bold contrasting background, I cut a piece of blue cardstock and ink blended it a little deeper blue along the edges, spritzing with water for more visual texture.

At this point I was playing with placement and that's when I really decided I didn't like the puppy in the middle of the oval but a sentiment there with the pup on the side would be pretty perfect. So that's what I did.

After the stamping was done, I used copic markers to color the open letters of "happy" and splattered silver watercolor on the panel. Once that dried I popped the oval up with foam tape and then did the same with the puppy.

For finishing touches, I added white gel pen highlights to the puppy eyes, nose and tag. Then I glued a scattering of blue pearls across the design for more bubbly texture.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
