Then I used the coordinating Harvest Haul Die Set and Autumn Fields Die Set to die cut the images out!! I added some white gel pen highlights!!

I die cut the card panel from some of the Spring Blooms Paper Pad using the Basic Frames Die Set and then added some Black Soot Distress Paint splatters!! Next, I die cut some turquoise cardstock using the Frames & Flags Die Set to create the stitched oval from some white cardstock using the Oval Frames Die Set and inked with some Salvaged Patina and Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Inks!! 

 

Next, I stamped and embossed the "Hello Fall" sentiment banner!! I die cut the banner from some black cardstock using the Banner Trio Die Set and then I stamped the sentiment from the Fall Friends Stamp Set in Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and embossed it with WoW Bright White Embossing Powder!! Then I layered the images to create my scene in the center of the stitched oval die cut!!
I used some foam tape on some of the mages to add some dimension and then I adhered the banner sentiment to the bottom of the scene using more foam tape for some dimension!!

I LOVE how this came together, and I hope it INSPIRES you to create some fall scene cards for your next project!!

Halloween Kitty Card by Donna Idlet

 

A Happy Halloween Kitty Card!

Today we are sharing this purr-fect Halloween card by Donna!

This card features:
Cat Builder Die Set
Clouds Stencil
Fence Die Set
Spooky Sky Die Set
Candy Corn Newton Stamp Set
Candy Corn Newton Die Set
Halloween Postage Sampler Stamp Set
Halloween Postage Sampler Die Set
Halloween Time Paper Pad
Cheerful Bright Glitter Cardstock
Frames & Flags Die Set

Hello Crafty Friends!
It’s Donna Idlet here sharing this cute Halloween card.  I had so much fun creating it using the adorable kitty from the NEW Cat Builder Die Set dressing him up for Halloween! I love how all the little details came together to create this fun and festive spooky scene.

I used the Cat Builder Die Set to create the cat.  I added a witch hat from the Halloween Postage Sampler Stamp Set.  I added the sparkly pink collar and tag using the Cheerful Bright Glitter Cardstock.  

To give the kitty even more personality, I added a piece of candy corn from the Candy Corn Newton Stamp Set, he cannot wait to eat it!

I created the spooky sky using the Clouds Stencil. Then I added the moon and stars from the Spooky Sky Die Set. The black fence was created using the Fence Die Set, which helped ground the scene and gives the kitty a fun place to sit.

To finish the scene, I added pumpkins from the Fall Friends Die Set and some flying bats from the Halloween Postage Sampler. The “Happy Halloween” sentiment also comes from the Halloween Postage Sampler.

One of my favorite parts of this card is all the dimension! I used foam tape to pop up the cat, giving it a fun 3D effect and making it really stand out from the background. I took the second photo from an angle so you can see just how much dimension the card has.

I love how this little Halloween kitty turned out. Between the bright batty background, spooky moonlit sky, pumpkins, bats, and that adorable witchy cat, this card is full of Halloween fun!

Thank you for stopping by, please come back again for more inspiration!

You're the Spice in my Cider Card by Donna Idlet

It's Cider Season!

Fall is nearly here and that means it's time for apple cider! Today Donna has created a card that captures the spice of the season!  

For this yummy card she started out by using our new Autumn Apples Stamp Set. She stamped the mug filled with cider twice, coloring the mugs in blue and orange and alternating the colors of the apples too. She cut the images out using the coordinating Autumn Apples Die Set. 

For the fun fall themed background she picked pretty patterned papers from our Autumn Paper Pad. She lined up the paper strips together and used our Frames & Flags Die Set to cut them into a fun background panel that has a scalloped edge. 

Next, she stamped the sentiment "You're the spice in my cider" from the Autumn Apples Stamp Set onto a circle that was die cut using our Circle Frames Die Set. This sits nicely behind the two mugs on her card. She also die cut a few leaves using the extra shape dies from our Fall Friends Die Set to add even more fall fun!

We love the combination of products on this card! Such a great fall vibe!

Hello Fall Shaker Card by Larissa Heskett

Fall Shaker Card

Today Larissa has created a gorgeous shaker card that is perfect for a Fall greeting!

To create this card she started by creating a background filled with leaves using our Falling Leaves Stencil. She made the leaves white over a kraft colored paper. Then she stitched a pocket over the top, filling it with tiny leaves and sequins. 

On top of the shaker pocket she cut out circles using our Circle Frames Die Set and added the "hello, FALL" sentiment from our Heartfelt Fall Stamp Set onto the top circle. She added some leaves around the edge of the circle using the bonus leaf die cuts from our Fall Friends Die Set. So pretty! The whole shaker panel is framed with a scalloped edge that was die cut using our Frames & Flags Die Set.

What a beautiful leaf-filled creation! To say hello to Larissa and see more of her creations, you can visit her over at her blog, Larissa Heskett Designs.

Happy Fall Cycling Card by Donna Idlet

Cycling by with Fall Fun!

Today Donna has created a fun Autumn cycling card that will help you feel the Fall breezes passing by!  

This fun card features the cycling dog and kitty from our Cycling Friends Stamp Set. She colored the image in neutral tones but colored the bicycle a bright blue shade. Such a fun way to make it pop! She cut the image out using the coordinating Cycling Friends Die Set to add to her card. To add the the Fall feel she added pumpkins to the bicycle basket, cut out using our Fall Friends Die Set. 

For her card base she created a scene by inking up a sky and adding in clouds and sun using our Sky Scene Builder Die Set. The lower cloud holds a sentiment inked from our Newton's Crate Stamp Set. 

Along the bottom she added a hill and some grass, cut out using our Land Borders Die Set. She assembled it all together, adding some leaves floating in the breeze from the Harvest Haul Stamp Set.  The whole scene is framed with a scallop edged frame that was cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set. 

We love how this fun bicycle set can be used for Spring and Fall cards alike!

A Lovely Fall Slimline Card by Ellen Haxelmans

A Lovely Fall slimline Scene!

Today Ellen has created a beautiful night time Autumn scene on a tall slimline card layout! 

This card features the cozy porch friends from our Fall Friends Stamp Set. She colored this cute duo in neutral tones and added pops of orange on the pumpkins, yellow and teal on the blanket and cushion and purples for the mums to create a colorful fall scene. The image was cut out using our Fall Friends Die Set.

Next she cut out a tall paper for her slimline scene and added dark inks and splatters for the sky. She embellished the sky using the stars, moon and clouds from our Sky Scene Builder Die Set. She added a fence along the bottom using our Fence Die Set and grass and hills using our Land Borders Die Set to complete the scene! So pretty! 

The finishing touch is the sentiment "have a lovely day" which was stamped from our Tulips Stamp Set and cut into small banners that she popped up on the sky with dimensional adhesive dots. She framed the whole long scene using the scallop edged panel from our Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set.

We hope you are inspired by this lovely fall greeting today!

In Love with Fall Card by Tatiana Trafimovich

In Love with Fall! 

We are getting so excited for Fall crafting this week! Today we have more gorgeous Autumn inspiration from Tatiana, who has created this gorgeous card with fun bright fall colors!

To create this card she embossed the big oval image from our Autumn Oval Stamp Set in gold onto white cardstock and colored the image in those gorgeous bright shades of orange, yellow and green.  She also colored the inside of the the image with black because she knew she wanted to layer it onto black cardstock and coloring it black was easier that trying to cut out all the details on the inside of the image. What a great idea! Then she very carefully fussy cut around the outside oval with scissors and adhered it to a black cardstock panel. What a stunning effect! 

She added fun white paint splatters to the image and to the black panel to for an extra fun detail. Inside the frame she added the "I Heart Fall" sentiment, die cut from gold glitter paper using our Fall Friends Die Set. 

 

What a stunning card! We hope this card has inspired you to start your fall crafting! Don't forget to share your creations with us in our Create & Share Facebook Group! We can't wait to see them!

We hope you've enjoyed this trip to the beach today! To see more of her amazing work, you can visit Tatiana at her blog, Tatiana Trafimovich!

Thankful For Friends Like You Card by Tina Herbeck

Fall Friendship Card

Today Tina has created a gorgeous fall friendship card featuring our favorite kitty surrounded by fall leaves! 

For this amazing card she started with the image of the kitty wearing a scarf from our Newton's Holiday Mischief Stamp Set. She colored the kitty, adding cute gray stripes to the fur and giving him a cute two toned blue scarf. The image was cut out using the coordinating Newton's Holiday Mischief Die Set.

Then, for the background she cut out a bunch of leaves using our Autumn Leaves Die Set. She added shades of fall colors to them using distress inks to get those gorgeous fall colors. Then she added them to a white card base, placing them all around the edges of the card. She added a bunch of paint splatters too. This makes it feel like the leaves are dancing in the wind, doesn't it? She added the kitty to the center of the card and stamped the sentiment from the Fall Friends Stamp Set above his head. So lovely!

Isn't it neat how she used the image of the kitty from a Christmas themed stamp set to create a fall themed card!? Don't forget to look at your stamp sets to see if you have any images you can stretch into other occasions!

I 🧡 Fall Card by Zsofia Molnar

I 🧡 Fall!

We hope you will fall in love with this amazing fall card by Zsofia today! She used several fun products together to create this stunning fall card. First, she created a gorgeous glittery background using our Tree Rings Stencil with some glittery texture paste over a kraft colored card base. She added some ink around the four corners to help the image pop. Next she cut out a bunch of pumpkins, leaves and the "I heart fall" using our Fall Friends Die Set and a stitched circle using our Circle Frames Die Set. She layered all these fun die cuts together, placing the pumpkins and leaves peeking out from behind the edge of the circle. For the sentiment she added it into the center of the circle and added some gloss over the top! This whole piece fit perfectly over the center of the stenciled tee ring background! So cool! 

All those textures look so amazing together and create a gorgeous fall card!

I Love Fall Card by Maria Russell

We Love Fall!!

Do you love Fall as much as we do? If so, you will adore this fall card by Maria today! 

This fabulous card features the cute image of the dog and cat sitting together with fall décor from our  Fall Friends Stamp Set. She stamped the image onto her card and colored it with gorgeous fall colors, adding little dot details to the fur of the kitty and puppy! So cute!  

Next, she added a background of beams radiating out from behind the chair, using our Sunscape Stencil with light blue ink. This really brings your focus to the image and adds a wonderful pop of blue color too!

For the sentiment, she used the die cut words from our Fall Friends Die Set. Isn't it cool how this die coordinates with the image AND had extra pieces you can use? Along with the sentiment, there are also pumpkins and leaves you can use to dress up your cards!

Grateful for You Card by Farhana Sarker

Grateful for You!

Today we are sharing a beautiful autumn thank you card by Farhana. This unique card features a window on the front that opens to an image inside! What a fun idea!

To create this interesting layout, she started with a white card base. She cut a circle out of the front panel of the card using our Circle Frames Die Set. Then she embossed the big circle of leaves from our Fall Roundabout Stamp Set with metallic embossing powder on the inside of her card, lining it up so that it shows through the circle window. 

Next, she embellished the window by die cutting the leaves and pumpkins from several colors of cardstock using our Fall Friends Die Set. She gave them a bit of extra fun detail by adding lines of color over the stitched details using coordinating colors of markers! The sentiment was stamped using the Fall Roundabout Stamp Set onto a yellow banner that was cut out using our Banner Trio Die Set. She adhered the banner across the open circle.

When you open the card, the entire image is revealed and there is still plenty of room to hand write a short message to the recipient! 

This autumn thank you card is sure to make someone feel special! You could also duplicate this layout with any of the stamps in our circle card front category to create greetings for other occasions too! There are so many possibilities!

Hello Fall Card by September Guest Designer Priscilla Joseph

Today we are introducing our Guest Designer for September, Priscilla Joseph! We have been enjoying her creative cards using our stamps on instagram and in entries to our inky paws challenges. We are super excited to share what she creates for us this month! Priscilla will be back each Monday for the month of September with a new projects! Keep reading to find out more about her today and to check out her first project below.

I’m a New England girl who now lives in the Chicago area, where I have enjoyed a 15-year middle school teaching career. Recently retired, I can now pursue my passion for card making full-time, with a lot of “house purging” sprinkled in on the side in hopes of moving to Southern California next year!
Before attending my first “stamping party” one evening in 2002, I never realized that the world of stamps, inks, and cards even existed! I was hooked immediately!

When I am designing my cards, I always try to direct my creatives juices in a direction I have not seen done yet. I’m not sure if I could categorize my “style” . . . some cards are clean & simple; others a little more bold and busy.

Thank you for following me on my journey as I play with stamps, ink, paint & paper… one project at a time.

Hello Crafty Friends!
I am thrilled to be the Guest Designer for Newton's Nook Designs for the month of September! I have been a HUGE fan of this company’s stamps, stencils, and dies for many years; so of course, I am excited for this opportunity to be sharing with you a weekly card project. Every Monday this month, I will be showcasing some of the new products Newton’s Nook just introduced for the fall season.

For my first post, I created an autumn-themed card featuring the new stamp set, Fall Friends Stamp Set. This 4x4 stamp set features a sweet dog and cat duo, enjoying a nap on the porch with a rocking chair and decorations for autumn . . . perfect for creating cards for friends and family this fall! This set also has a coordinating die, Fall Friends Die Set.

Lately, I have been obsessed with double layer stenciling using Distress Oxide inks. Today’s card is no exception . . . I used a grid stencil from my stash and the Pumpkin Patch Stencil to create what resulted in a 3D-like background. I loved how it turned out! 

  

Card Details:

• I blended “Fossilized Amber,” “Rusty Hinge,” and “Vintage Photo” inks over a grid stencil onto a 4”x 5.25” piece of white card stock.
• After this layer dried, I used the same three inks to blend again over the Pumpkin Patch Stencil.
• I sponged “Vintage Photo” on again to give a finished look to the four edges.
• I colored the adorable scene of the napping dog and cat with alcohol markers from the Fall Friends Stamp Set. I used the coordinating Fall Friends Die Set to cut it out, then adhered it to the stenciled background layer.
• My sentiment “Hello Fall” was white heat embossed on navy card stock, die cut, and foam mounted above my scene.
• I framed the finished layer using the same navy card stock and then adhered it to a A2 card base.

I hope I inspired you to start you autumn-themed cards if you have not done so yet. 

Stay tuned to a very “haunted” Halloween card next week!
