Autumn Greetings Card by Larissa Heskett

Autumn Greetings 

Today we are sharing a beautiful fall card by Larissa!

For this card Larissa created a unique layered image using our Leaf Splendor Stamp Set. She started by cutting two scalloped circles using our Circle Frames Die Set. She cut one circle from white and for the second one she used plaid paper from our Autumn Woofs Paper Pad. 

On the plaid circle she die cut the maple leaf outline from the center using the Leaf Splendor Die Set. Then she stamped the maple leaf from the Leaf Splendor Stamp Set on the white circle. Before she stamped the image, she lined the two circles up together and stamped the leaf through the open die cut so she could be sure they would match up when she was finished. 

She colored the leaf in shades of yellow, adding texture with light orange dots. Then she layered the two circles together. This results in a gorgeous frame around the leaf!

For her base layer, she cut out a scalloped frame using orange polka dotted cardstock from our Autumn Basics Paper Pad with our Frames & Flags Die Set. She layered a white stitched panel on top of the frame, die cut using our Basic Frames Die Set. She added a bit of blue distress ink in the center along with some gold paint splatters. The sentiment along the bottom is also from our Leaf Splendor Stamp Set.

Here is the card all assembled:

What a gorgeous way to uniquely frame an image! We hope you will give it a try!

Feline Batty Card by Diane Morales

Feline Batty!!

We are batty about this Halloween card by Diane! 

The star of this fun card is Newton wearing a bat costume from our Batty Newton Stamp Set. She colored the cute kitty in neutral colors and gave him a bright teal bat wings! This non traditional Halloween color really makes the image pop! The image was cut out using the coordinating Batty Newton Die Set. 

Next, she created a shaped card for her image. She used our Hexagon Frames Die Set and cut out the largest scalloped Hexagon for her card base. Then she cut a smaller stitched hexagon using the pink bat paper from our Halloween Party Paper Pad. She layered these pieces together and added the fun batty cat on top. She also added a couple of bats and the message "feline batty!" from the Batty Newton Stamp Set, The message was stamped onto a banner that was cut using our Frames & Flags Die Set and it was slid in right behind the kitty. 

We hope you enjoyed this fun shaped card today. Don't forget to try creating shape cards using your larger die sets! They are so much fun to create and send!

To celebrate National Coffee Day I am sharing a set of coffee themed cards that I created:

To create this card set I started out with our Natural Basics Paper Pad and Fractured Card Layout Die Set.

I chose four patterns from the paper and cut them out using the Fractured Card Layout Die Set. I used the same die set again on brown and white to create the inside frame and the white centers.

Now I had four perfect spots to add in coffee themed sentiments and images!

Card 1:

This card uses coffee die cuts created with our Coffee Silhouettes Die Set and book die cuts created with our Bookmark II Die Set. The sentiment is from our Never Enough Books Stamp Set.

Card 2:

This card also uses coffee die cuts created with our Coffee Silhouettes Die Set and book die cuts created with our Bookmark II Die Set. The sentiment is from our Time for Coffee Stamp Set.

Card 3:

This card also uses coffee die cuts created with our Coffee Silhouettes Die Set. The sentiment is from our Time for Coffee Stamp Set.

Card 4:

This card also uses the coffee grinder image and sentiment from our Time for Coffee Stamp Set.

I've also created a video sharing how I created these cards!

I absolutely adore how this turned out! Here are images of the products that I used today:

Witchy Halloween Card by Farhana Sarker

Friendly Witch Card

Witches don't have to be bad! Today we are featuring a humorous witch themed Halloween card by Farhana!

This card features the cute witching from our Brooms & Boos Stamp Set. This image featuring a witch holding a Jack-o'-Lantern and holding a mask over her eyes is so fun! Farhana colored the image in fun Halloween colors using alcohol markers and used the coordinating Brooms & Boos Die Set to cut the image out. 

For her card, she started with a white card base and added a fun pattern to it using our three piece Jack-o'-Lantern Stencil Set. With three stencils in this set it's easy to create patterns with multiple colors. 

Once the background was created she cut out a few hexagon shapes from shades of orange cardstock using our Hexagon Frames Die Set. She stamped the funny message from the Brooms & Boos Stamp Set onto one of the shapes and then layered all three onto her background. The with was then added to the largest hexagon.

We hope this whimsical witch card made you smile today!

Autumn Greetings Card by Donna Idlet

Autumn Greetings!

According to the calendar it is offically Fall now and we are ready to get into autumn crafting! Today we are sharing a gorgeous card filled with autumn leaves by Donna.

This card features our Leaf Splendor Stamp Set. Donna watercolored some fall colored papers using distress stains and then she stamped all of the leaves onto the colored papers, embossing them in black. She die cut all of the images using the coordinating Leaf Splendor Die Set. 

For her card she used our Frames & Flags Die Set to cut a scalloped frame from dark brown cardstock. She also cut a lighter brown rectangle that fit just inside the frame edge and arranged all of her leaves onto the rectangle. She added a bit of white paint splatter as a finishing touch. Last, she embossed the "autumn Greetings" sentiment from the Leaf Splendor Stamp Set onto light brown cardstock and then cut it out using the coordinating Leaf Splendor Die Set. She layered this over her leaves with some foam adhesive. 

We hope you enjoyed this beautiful card and are inspired to get into autumn crafting. To see more beautiful creations by Donna, you can visit her blog, Creative Lady!
