Autumn Inspiration Card and Bookmark by Rosie Lopez

 
I am an Autumn Card!
Today we are sharing this beautiful autumn colored card by Rosie!

These cards feature:

Falling Leaves Stencil
Autumn Reads Stamp Set
Framework Die Set
Autumn Basics Paper Pack

Bookmark II Die Set

Hi everyone! It’s Rosie and I’m back with some autumn inspiration. I’ve started my Gilmore Girls fall rewatch so of course I had to make some book themed fall projects.
For the card, I used the Falling Leaves Stencil with gold paste on a pumpkin colored cardstock. I set that aside to dry completely. Then I gold heat embossed the sentiment and book image from the Autumn Reads stamp set on a heavy weight vellum. 

I die cut the frame from the Framework Die Set 3 times from an off white cardstock. I stacked up the frames, adhered the vellum and trimmed off the extra. 

Then I die cut the larger frame from a pattern paper from the Autumn Basics Paper Pack. I pared the pieces together and added it to a card base.

I had to channel my inner Rory and make a bookmark. I used the Falling Leaves Stencil with some Distress Oxides on a pumpkin cardstock die cut with the Bookmark II Die Set.

I gold heat embossed the sentiment directly to the bookmark. Then, I used the book dies from that bookmark die set to die cut some scraps of fall colored cardstock. I stacked the books and added a tassel to the top.

 

 

I’ve really been having fun making bookmarks using these dies. It’s fun and challenging to work with on a new set dimensions for a project.

I hope these projects bring some autumn inspiration and if not, I’ll leave you with one of my favorite Gilmore Girls quote “It’s just my favorite time of year. The whole world changes color” - Lorelei Gilmore

Happy crafting! I'm going back to dreaming of opening a beach-front coffee house that has a sunny craft room upstairs.

Happy Autumn Card by Larissa Heskett

Happy Autumn

Today Larissa has created a lovely pumpkin themed card that perfectly captures the beauty of fall!

This card features our Autumn Fields Stamp Set and Autumn Oval Stamp Set paired together. Larissa stamped the big oval image filled with pumpkins and leaves from our Autumn Oval Stamp Set and colored the pumpkins in beautiful shades of orange, white and sage green. She used our Oval Frames Die Set to cut out the scallop edged ovaland layered the colored image over the top. 

Next she colored the scarecrow image from our Autumn Fields Stamp Set and colored the scarecrow and pumpkins to coordinate with the oval of pumpkins. She cut the scarecrow out using the coordinating Autumn Fields Die Set and layered the image over the big oval. What a perfect pairing! 

She also stamped the "happy autumn" message from the Pumpkin Tails Stamp Set onto a circle that was cut out using our Circle Frames Die Set. She tucked message in next to the scarecrow and added the little crow from Autumn Fields Stamp Set the on top of the message. Behind it all she used the orange gingham paper from our Autumn Basics Paper Pad. 

We love how she mixed and matched the different fall products together!

Thank You Card by Donna Idlet

Beautiful Floral Thank You

Today Donna is sharing a lovely thank you card featuring our Chrysanthemum Stamp Set.

The bundle of blooms from the Chrysanthemum Stamp Set becomes the focal point of this beautiful card. Donna layered the blooms over an oval that was cut out using our Oval Frames Die Set. She also added a bit of light blue ink the the center of the oval, giving the flower a nice soft background. 

For the orange polka dotted card base she used paper from our Autumn Basics Paper Pad. She used the same paper pad with our Frames & Flags Die Set to cut out a banner from yellow plaid. This cute banner is the perfect place to hold the thank you sentiment, tucked behind the oval and flowers.

We hope you enjoyed this inspiration today.  To see more beautiful creations by Donna, you can visit her blog, Creative Lady!   

Happy Thanksgiving + Black Friday Sale Starts Now!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Jen here today (owner of Newton's Nook Designs with my husband Jeff) and we want to take a moment to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday! We are hope you are spending our day today filling up on turkey and relaxing! If you are at home doing a little online shopping, make sure to scroll down to the end of this post for details on our Black Friday Sale!

This holiday season is a time to reflect and appreciate everything you are thankful for and we want to let you know that we are so thankful for YOU, all of our AMAZING customers and fans! 

In the spirit of gratitude, I'd like to share a couple of beautiful thank you cards I created. Both cards feature our Leaf Splendor Stamp Set and our Autumn Basics Paper Pad.

For the card above I colored the leaves from the Leaf Splendor Stamp Set using watercolor markers. I cut them out with the coordinating Leaf Splendor Die Set. For the card I cut the postage edged frame from white cardstock using our Framework Die Set. I added 4 squares of patterned paper chosen from our Autumn Basics Paper Pad and layered the leaves over the top. The sentiment was stamped along the bottom and a bit of twine finishes the simple layout. 

For the second card I again colored a leaf from the Leaf Splendor Stamp Set with watercolor markers and cut it out with the coordinating Leaf Splendor Die Set. This time created a fun patterned background using our Autumn Basics Paper Pad. I cut an A2 sized piece of copy paper and then added strips of scrap paper from the paper pad, cutting them at angles and randomly adhering them to the copy paper. I then cut the paper out using the stitched rectangle from our Basic Frames Die Set. I added a strip of vellum and a sheer ribbon across the center and layered the leaf over that. I also added the sentiment, stamped onto an oval cut using our Oval Frames Die Set. This whole panel was then framed with an orange postage edged frame that was cut out using our Framework Die Set. 

I hope you enjoyed this card today! If you're here to find out about our sale this weekend, that's up next!

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!
