Apple Filled Autumn Greetings by Zsofia Molnar

Autumn Greetings!

Today we are sharing a gorgeous fall themed card by Zsofia that is sure to make you crave some apple cider!

To create this beautiful card she started by stamping and coloring images of apples and cider from our Autumn Apples Stamp Set. She colored the apples in brilliant shades of red and caramel and added details with a white gel pen. She cut all the images out using the coordinating Autumn Apples Die Set. 

Behind the tasty row of apples, she added a gorgeous foiled leaf border, created using our Fall Leaves Hot Foil Plate. Doesn't it go perfectly with the apple theme? She also added a shiny sentiment "Autumn Greetings" below the images. This sentiment was foiled using our Autumn Greetings Hot Foil Plates. 

We hope you enjoyed this beautiful fall card by Zsofia today! You can find more of Zsofia's creations and say hello to her over at her blog, Safsafdesign.

Loads of Fall Fun by Jennifer Jackson

Loads of Fall Fun! 

Hello! Jen here today and I'm sharing a beautiful fall card that is sure to make you smile! 

To create this card I started by stamping the image of the wheelbarrow filled with pumpkins and a kitty from our Newton's Harvest Time Stamp Set. Isn't Newton so cut peeking out behind those pumpkins? I know he's having a ton of fun riding along! I colored the image using watercolors markers in browns, oranges and grays. Then I cut the image out using the coordinating Newton's Harvest Time Die Set.

I framed the wheelbarrow image withe a scalloped circle that was cut out using our Circle. Frames Die Set. I also added a bit of brown grass to the bottom of the circle using our Hills & Grass Stencil. 

For my card base, I wanted to add to the fall pumpkin theme so I used our Jack-o'-lantern Stencil Set to create rows of pumpkins. This stencil has three layers: pumpkin bodies, pumpkin stems, and jack-o'-lantern faces. To create the fall look I just used just the pumpkin bodies and stems and skipped adding on the third layer with the scary faces. Using the stencil this way makes it so versatile! 

The last step was to add on the sentiment from the Newton's Harvest Time Stamp Set. I stamped it onto a yellow cardstock banner that was cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set.

I hope you enjoyed this fun fall card today! Doesn't it make you want to go to a pumpkin patch?

Happy Howl-oween Card by Guest Designer Brennan Keane

Today we a special guest post to share. We are featuring more inspiring work from the talented young Brennan Keane!  

 

I'm back, back, back again! Hi everyone, my name is Brennan and I am a 15 year old teenage boy who’s obsessed with creating cards with florals! However, I’m here to shock y’all today, because I made a Halloween card!

To start off, I masked a small strip of my card front and blended in some Crown Me ink from Simon Hurley and added a distressed effect with a Distress Ink pad in the color Black Soot. I also added a little water to get the splatter. I then used the new Spooky Line Stencil with some Solar Paste in the color Slippery When Wet to create the eerie Halloween sky!

I used the adorable Ghostly Good Times stamp set and stamped out both the dog and cat ghosts. Now it’s time to color! For the cat, I used Copics in the colors, from darkest to lightest, BG13, BG23, and BG11. For the dog, I used the colors, also from darkest to lightest, Y19, Y18, and Y15.

To finish off the card, I stamped the sentiment “ Happy Howl-oween”!
Lastly, I added a black matte and glued everything onto my card base. I hope you all enjoy this spookdorable (I created a new word!) Halloween card!

As always, thank you to Jen and Sam for another guest design opportunity! Have a great rest of your day everyone and happy crafting!
