Fall-ing For You Card by Maria Russell

Fall-ing for Autumn!

Autumn is in the air and today we have a beautiful fall card to share by Maria that is sure to inspire your fall creativity!

For her card today, Maria created a gorgeous one layer card featuring the beautiful bold leaves from our Shades of Autumn Stamp Set. She stamped the leaves around the edge of her card using shades of yellow, pink and green. These lovely bold images have a wonderful watercolor texture to them and work great with colored inks! Pink ink was added around the card to create a soft frame. In the center,  the big sentiment is from our Fall-ing for You Stamp Set.  The finishing touches include ink splatters and gold embellishments! So gorgeous!

Truly Grateful Card by Zsofia Molnar

Truly Grateful  

Have the leaves started turning color where you live? We are definitely getting excited for Fall! Today, Zsofia created this beautiful Fall card featuring the leaves from our Shades of Autumn Stamp Set. This set features leaves with a fun texture on them, which she stamped in several beautiful fall colors. Then she added some dots with an embossing pen and heat embossed it with gold sparkle embossing powder. What a beautiful effect! She also embossed the sentiment from the Shades of Autumn Stamp Set over the top of the leaves.  She cut the panel of leaves out using our Framework Die Set to give it a postage stamp edge. Then she mounted it on a kraft card panel and added a bit of twine.

Here are some a close up photos so you can see the fun bits of gold sparkle!

Thank you, Zsofia, for the awesome Fall inspiration today! You can find more of Zsofia's lovely creations and say hello to her over at her blog, Safsafdesign.

Watercolor Floral Card with Die Cuts by Jennifer Timko

Truly Grateful

Today we are sharing a lovely spring watercolor card by Jennifer! For her card today she pulled out a couple of our die sets to do some creative watercoloring! This idea is so fun! Although these dies were designed to work with stamp sets, it's really fun to see how they can be used on their own too!
She created those fun flowers by watercoloring two pieces of paper, one with pink and one with green. Then she cut the flowers from the pink piece using the little flower from Lovely Blooms Die Set. From the green watercolor paper she cut out the little stem of leaves from the Lovely Blooms Die Set and the large leaf using the Shades of Autumn Die Set!

For her card, she added a blue watercolor splotch to a white paned and added the "truly grateful" sentiment from the Shades of Autumn Stamp Set in the center. Then she mounted it all on a pink cardstock base. So simple and lovely!

Thanks, Jennifer for the inspiration today! To see more creations by Jennifer, you can her over at her blog, Stampin' on the Fly!

Monochromatic Cards by Ellen Haxelmans

Create your own Backgrounds for Cards!

Today we are sharing a fun idea by Ellen to create gorgeous monochromatic cards! She used two stamp sets to create gorgeous monochromatic backgrounds that are so lovey you don't need to do anything else but add some twine and a sentiment!

For her first card she used the lovely leaves from the Shades of Autumn Stamp Set, stamping them randomly around the card front in shades of red and orange over a light yellow background. She rounded the corners and layered it over a white cardstock base and then added the die cut thanks sentiment from another company paired with the "truly Grateful" sentiment from the Shades of Autumn Stamp Set on a yellow banner. So pretty!

For her second card she card she used the silhouette of the Labrador dog from the the Furr-ever Friends Stamp Set along with the tiny heart and paw print to create a dog patterned background on white cardstock. The blue ombré ink looks so lovely with that dog image! She layered this image over a black cardstock base and added the "pawsome" sentiment from the Terrific Terriers Stamp Set, embossed in white on black cardstock. The blue and white bakers twine and sequins give a fun finishing touch!

Aren't these cards so awesome? There are so many possible combinations you could make using this same fun technique with any of our bold stamps!

I did want to take time to share a card today as well! To make this lovely Thank You card, I started out with our Falling Leaves Stencil. I taped it down over a panel of white cardstock and used various Distress oxide inks to ink over it in fun fall colors! Then I took out our Shades of Autumn Stamp Set and stamped two of the big leaves and trimmed them out using the coordinating Shades of Autumn Die Set. I love the variation in tone those leaves have! So pretty! I didn't want to cover up that pretty background too much so I stamped the "truly grateful" sentiment onto a piece of vellum and stamped embossed it with black. Then I layered everything together and finished it off with a piece of burlap twine! So perfect and fitting for Thanksgiving!
