Sneak Peek: September 2022 Dies

Good morning! It’s Lindsey and I’m excited to be giving you a sneak peek at many of the amazing soon-to-be-released dies. I’ve paired them up with several stencils, and with the exception of one little sentiment stamp, my cards were made entirely with dies and stencils.  Let’s get started! 

New release will be available September 14th.

First up is the fun Fall Tree Die. Don’t be fooled by the name, this will be wonderful all year, but since the autumn season has begun in my neck of the woods, I’ve fully embraced it.  

My card started with the Layered Foliage Stencils.  I used an assortment of autumn colors and blended a portion of the stencil on my card.  I love how it looks like these leaves are trickling down to the ground.

Next, I die cut the tree and several colors of leaves. I sprayed on some gold to mimic the little blotches that appear as the leaves start to die. I arranged the leaves on the tree, popping a few up at varying heights, and sprinkled several across the ground. The final step was stamping on a small sentiment from the Fall Envelopes Stamp Set. 

My second card gives you a peek at one of the new sentiment dies called Thanks Script. I stuck with traditional autumn colors and created a background using the Layered Sunflowers Stencils. They’re wonderful!  

After blending on the ink, I used a marker to add some dots to the flowers’ centers. Then I distressed the edges of the entire panel.  

I die cut and colored a few of the leaf stems from the previously released Fall Foliage Dies and arranged them in the center of my card.  

Finally, I added a strip of cork and then the new Thanks Script on top. This card is full of texture, which makes me so happy.

My final card uses the fabulous Fall Basket Dies. You are going to LOVE these! The basket will be a great addition to your crafty supplies and the fillers are darling. They work great on their own, too!

I switched gears here and decided to use a more muted color palette. All the heart eyes for this one! :) After cutting and blending ink on several of the fillers (pumpkins, squash, apples, wheat), I spritzed them with water. It’s subtle, but I love the effect. A quick note: there are cute little stem dies that can be cut and added to all of these, but I did not use them on this card.

The basket is four pieces plus a handle if you choose to use it. I blended grey ink on all the pieces and then “white washed” them by swiping a white ink pad over all of them. I adhered all the basket pieces together and stuffed it full of autumn cuteness. I only adhered just the bottom of each filler, so there would be a lot of dimension,  

I wanted to maintain the soft feel of the card, so I blended a soft greenish-blue on my card base, and used the same color to lightly blend leaves on top using the new Falling Branches Stencil. When my background was finished, I add my filled basket and a few more die cuts around it.

The last thing I needed was a sentiment, which came from the new Grateful Script die. It’s absolutely beautiful! I layered it about five times, which gave it wonderful depth and made it feel like a chipboard piece. 

Thanks so much for joining me today! I had so much fun creating with the new dies, and I know you will too. Make sure you come back tomorrow for sneak peeks of the new stencils!
