Hello crafty friends! It’s Lisa Mears on the blog today and I’m super excited to share a cozy and whimsical fall-themed card that I made using the fall release!

My card features a Mushroom Shaker element that adds a fun touch to the design. I also incorporated a mushroom-stenciled background and some beautiful fall foliage to really capture that autumn vibe.

I started off by creating my card background. I used the Layered Mushrooms Stencils with the following Distress Oxide inks: Abandoned Coral, Dried Marigold, and Antique Linen.

For the white dots on the mushroom caps, I used Scrapbook.com Cloud Whip along with a palette knife to spread the Cloud Whip into the holes on the stencil. The Cloud Whip is a bright white paste which not only gives dimension to the card, but also allows for a nice white color over the colored ink. Using Cloud Whip is so much easier than trying to add white ink over top of the red and orange mushroom caps.

The mushroom shaker is the centerpiece of my card. I die cut the mushroom die with white cardstock and inked the cardstock with Abandoned Coral and Antique Linen Distress Oxide inks. I added the Fall Mushroom Clay Confetti Mix to the inside of the shaker. Be sure to watch my video to see how I made the mushroom shaker.

For the foliage, I used the Solid Fall Foliage stencils along with the following Distress Oxide inks: Rustic Wilderness, Fired Brick, Spiced Marmalade, Scattered Straw, Walnut Stain, and Ground Espresso. After inking the foliage on the stencil, I used the Solid Fall Foliage coordinating dies to cut the foliage out. I added the foliage around the mushroom and I used the Happy Autumn sentiment from the Solid Fall Foliage stamp set.

Happy Crafting!

Hello crafty friends! It’s Lisa Mears on the blog today and I’m excited to share my latest cards with you! I made two grid cards that feature the beautiful Fall Icons stamp and dies from Pretty Pink Posh!

Grid cards are all about structured elegance. By arranging your elements in a grid pattern, you create a clean, organized look that draws the eye to each individual piece. This layout is perfect for showcasing a variety of stamps, dies, or embellishments, and it makes for a cohesive, balanced design.

The grid design has a lot of versatility. You can use stamps, dies, or a mix of both to feature multiple elements without overwhelming the card. It’s a great way to highlight different designs or colors in a unified way.

When designing a grid, first decide on the type of layout you want. I went with a 3 x 3 layout for a balanced look. This simply means that my card has 3 rows and 3 columns.

Next, select your stamps or dies. For my cards, I used the Fall Icons stamp and coordinating dies. This stamp set has 12 different fall-themed icons such as a pumpkin, scarecrow, fall leaf, acorn, and more.

I colored my stamps with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. The markers I used were: Mustard, Mid Brown, Pale Orange, Marigold, Beige, True Blue, Mimosa, Evergreen, Carmine Red, and the Blender. After coloring, I die cut the stamped images with the coordinating dies.

I also used the coordinating dies and die cut the scalloped circle dies from white cardstock and I die cut the circle dies from colored cardstock. I adhered the circles to the scallop circles. Next, I added the fall icons to the top.

I adhered the circles to a piece of colored cardstock that measures 4″ x 5 1/4″. I started with the center circle and then adhered the remaining circles in the middle row. Then I adhered the top and bottom rows until all of the circles were glued to the cardstock.

Next, I stamped two sentiments from the Sentiment Strips: Fall stamp set. I die cut the sentiments with the coordinating dies and added them between the rows. I adhered the panel to an A2 size card base.

Using this grid technique is a great way to create a card that’s both organized and visually appealing. It’s perfect for showcasing a variety of elements while maintaining a clean, structured look. I hope you enjoyed this step-by-step tutorial and that you’re inspired to try this technique with your own stamps and dies.

Happy crafting!

Hello friends, Arsenia here to share a lovely fall big cupcake with you. Fall is most definitely in the air and I’m here for it.  The leaves are changing and falling, oh so beautiful. Let’s do some fall crafting, 

I adore all the big cupcake die sets  and the Big Fall Cupcake Dies does not disappoint!  It’s jammed packed with some incredible dies, the possibilities are endless.  We have a turkey, pie, leaves, sunflowers, acorns, mushrooms and more!  First, I did some ink smooshing with aqua/teals dye inks onto heavy weight white card-stock.  After my card panel was dry I did some partial stenciling with the same die inks using the new beautiful Solid Leaf Foliage stencil set.  Next, I wanted to incorporate my sentiment onto the background.  I used the Sentiment Strips: Fall stamps and did random stamping applying first and second generation stamping.  This is best done with an acrylic block.  Background is done and I love it, it’s dreamy! I did cut it down to 3 3/4 – 5 inches.  

Next,  I cut out serval pieces from the Big Fall Cupcakes dies and the Fall Tree dies.  I used teal, aqua, yellows, oranges, mustard yellows, brown, and yellow green card-stock from my crafty realm.  I took several adornments for the cupcake and added a combination of glitter and rock candy to them.  I find using Rangers Multi Medium Matte works the best to adhere the glitter combination.  I wanted them to have a sugary sparkle appearance.  I used the negative pieces from the pie die to decorate the cupcake liner.  I think the teal diamonds pop off the orange cupcake liner!

To finish the card I die cut the large oval from the Eyelet Ovals Dies. I adhered everything and ta-da card is done.  It’s so lovely, I wish I could capture all the sparkle with a photo but trust me it’s sparkly!  

Thank you so much friends for stopping by, I hope you have a great day!  Happy crafting!

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today. I’m sharing my next box card – this time for Fall and Thanksgiving!

Watch the video above  I  Watch the video in HD on YouTube

I started with die cutting all of the pieces I needed with patterned paper in Fall themed colors. I cut the Stitched Turkey Dies, leaves and flowers from the Big Fall Cupcake Dies, layered strips from the Sentiment Strips Dies, and my base from the Scallop Box Card Dies. My thinnest sentiment strip and base of the box card were die cut from a beige cardstock.

For the sentiment, I cut the Fall Script Die out of a dark pink cardstock and stamped “happy” in a matching ink from the Holiday Sentiments stamp set to create the “Happy Fall” sentiment for the box card.

I assembled the turkey together and adhered it to the back of the two middle shelves in the middle of the box card. On the front of the two middle shelves, I adhered the sunflowers and green leaves. The sides of the box card, I added different colored leaves and a couple more on the front of the box card with the sentiment strips.

I hope this gives you some inspiration to use your patterned paper to create a fun turkey for the upcoming season.
