Fall-ing for You Card by Amanda Wilcox

FALL-ing for You! 

Fall is just around the corner and we are enjoying the Fall vibes on this beautiful card by Amanda!

This autumnal card features the gorgeous heart filled with leaves from our Heartfelt Fall Stamp Set. Amanda stamped the image using brown ink and then die cut it with our Heart Frames Die Set. In case you didn't know, all of the large heart stamps in our Heart Card Front line will fit into the big scalloped heart from the Heart Frames Die Set!

She colored the image using soft fall colors and added a bit of ink to the edges of the scallops to give it a soft distressed feel. 

For her card she started with a white card base. She then cut out small strips of paper in colors that matched her image along with a pop of teal! So pretty! She added these to her card and layered the heart over them. The sentiment "FALL-ing for you" was embossed in white onto a banner that was die cut with our  Banner Trio Die Set. 

Did you spy the touch of gold on her card? She added bits of gold to the image and some gold splatters across the card background too. Here is a close up so you can see it better: 

I don't know about you but we are FALL-ing in love with this beautiful card! 

We hope you enjoyed this project by Amanda. You can see more over her beautiful work over on her blog, Twiddler's Nook!

Relax & Unwind Card by Samantha Mann

Relax & Unwind!

Today we are unwinding some fun with Samantha. This fun project features a creative combination of words and images that will definitely make you smile!

She started off by using the adorable image of the kitty hugging a big ball of twine from our Newton Unwinds Stamp Set. She stamped the image 3 times and colored each kitty gray. She colored the giant balls of yarn in an ombre colors to complete a rainbow. She added sweet pink cheeks to the kitties and white gel pen accents to her coloring. The images were all cut out using the coordinating Newton Unwinds Die Set. 

To create her card she added some black splatters to a white card base and then added the images with all their balls of yarn pointed to the center. The message "Relax & Unwind" was added to center. The sentiment was die cut the bonus words that are included with the Porch Swing Friends Die Set. To give the sentiment height she cut them several times and then glued and stacked them together. 

This whimsical card will is perfect for sending a cheerful hello to a friend!

Peek-a-BOO Scrapbook Layout by Samantha Mann

Peek-a-boo! 

Have you ever tried to incorporate stencils and stamps into your scrapbook layouts? Today we are sharing a beautiful scrapbook page by Samantha that does just that! 

This page by Samantha features a photo of her adorable kitty peeking out through some blankets and it inspired her to create a peek-a-BOO theme featuring ghosts! What a fun play on words! She started by laying out the page and deciding where everything would go. Then she took the white background piece and added some blue ink smears to match the paper and white ghosts flying across the page using texture paste with our Ghosts Stencil. She also stamped the "boo-yah!" sentiment from the Ghostly Good Times Stamp Set right above the kitty photo. 

When she added her photo to the page she framed it with several black and white papers from our Black & White Basics Paper Pad along with some tissue for texture. She added the sentiment across the center using chipboard letter stickers and a cute chipboard kitty. She also added some additional words, stickers and embellishments onto her layout using pieces from her scrapbook product stash. 

Too add to the theme she stamped the cute kitty ghost from our Ghostly Good Times Stamp Set onto a piece of grey polka dotted paper from our Black & White Basics Paper Pad and cut it out using the coordinating Ghostly Good Times Die Set. So cute how it ties in the the sentiment!

We think this page is fab-BOO-lous! How about you?

Stay Spooky Card by Amanda Wilcox

Stay Spooky! 

Today we're getting in the Halloween mood with this cute and spooky card by Amanda featuring some of our favorite Halloween products!

This creative card features our Jack-O'-Lantern Stencil Set and Ghostly Good Times Stamp Set. She started out by creating a that fun background using the Jack-O'-Lantern Stencil Set onto light orange paper.  This stencil set has three layers (one for the pumpkins, one for the scary faces and one for the stems). She stenciled each layer with a different color using the etching on each stencil to align them perfectly. She then cut out the completed background using the zig zag edged die from our Frames & Tags Die Set. She also cut a black frame using the same die set to layer on top. 

Next she stamped the adorable ghost dog and cat from our Ghostly Good Times Stamp Set onto vellum and embossed them in white. The transparency of the vellum really gives them the perfect ghostly look! They were die cut out using the coordinating Ghostly Good Times Die Set. 

Last she adds the "Stay Spooky" sentiment from the Ghostly Good Times Stamp Set. She die cut the tag from our Frames & Tags Die Set and stamped the message in orange onto it. A bit of orange twine and a pumpkin embellishment finish it off perfectly. 

We love the combination of cute and spooky on this card!

A Slice Happy Pizza Card by Larissa Heskett

Pizza Make Newton Happy!

Today Larissa is making us smile with a fun pizza themed card!

To create this playful card she started with by cutting out a background using our Fractured Card Layout Die Set with a black and white grid pattern from our Black & White Basics Paper Pad. This creates a great neutral background that you could use for any image. She uses the same die again, this time with white, to create the frame that sits between the pieces. 

Once the background is assembled, she cuts out a couple of red circles to give a pop of color to her card. Next she stamps the cute image of Newton in a pizza box from our Newton Loves Pizza Stamp Set. Isn't it adorable how it seems he has eaten most of the pizza already? She leaves the image black and white to coordinate with the basic black and white background. The image was then cut out using the coordinating Newton Loves Pizza Die Set and layered over the red circle. She also adds the sentiment "Sending you a Slice of Happy" from our Newton Loves Pizza Stamp Set onto a small white stitched circle that was cut out using our Circle Frames Die Set. 

Doesn't the black, white and red color combo remind you of a classic pizzeria?

Lilac Thank You Card by Diane Morales

 

Thank You for Being So Kind!

Today we are sharing a beautiful floral thank you card by Diane! 

Diane features the pretty blooms from our Lilac Stamp Set. She stamps and colored two blooms with shades of purple and green and cut them out using the coordinating Lilac Die Set. She also stamped and colored two little butterflies using the same stamp and die set. 

For her card background she uses our Fractured Card Layout Die Set. She uses our Natural Basics Paper Pad to cut out the striped pieces, turning the paper to get striped in different directions. She cuts it a second time with gray paper for the inside frame. Then, she cuts out the center using white paper to make a spot to stamp her sentiment. This die set really makes a fun background easy. All you have to do is cut it out a few times with different papers!

Happy Fall Y'all Card by Farhana Sarker

Happy Fall Y'all!

Today we are getting the mood for fall crafting with this adorable card by Farhana!

To create this fun card she features our awesome new Fractured Card Layout Die Set. She cut the die out twice, once with the gingham patterned paper from our Natural Basics Paper Pad and once with kraft colored cardstock that had been stenciled with our Falling Leaves Stencil. We love this idea of mixing and matching stenciled patterns with our patterned papers!

This fun stamp set features several images that can fit above the basket and she chose to add the cute puppy with a pile of leaves. The images were cut out using the Fall Harvest Die Set.
