Hello, crafty friends! Arsenia here, and I’m so excited to share sneak peeks for the Fall/September Release! Friends, this release is absolutely chock-full of fall goodness! We have turkeys, scarecrows, leaves, acorns, a sweet little mouse, and SO much more! For today’s sneak peeks, I’m sharing the Wide Leaf Shaker Dies, Fall Word Shaker Dies, and Fall Bucket Additions Dies. I’m switching things up a bit because, although these are shaker dies, I didn’t actually make any shakers! Instead, I turned them into some pretty fall cards. I have five cards plus a bonus card to share with you, so let’s get this fall party started! 

For my first card, I used the Fall Word Shaker Dies. I started by creating a pretty berry-toned background with the new Layered Windowpane Plaid Stencil on light berry cardstock. I used that panel to die cut the Fall Word, then layered it up with the solid piece in a darker berry cardstock and even added a little glitter cardstock for some extra sparkle! For the background, I pulled out an oldie-but-oh-so-goodie favorite, the Layered Fall Wreath Stencil, and die cut the panel using the largest Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies. I adhered everything to a dark berry card base, added my Fall Word, and finished it off with a Happy sentiment from the Happy Birthday Shadow Dies, the sweetest little acorn from the new Fall Holder Additions Dies, and a whimsical burlap bow. Ta-da! Card number one is complete, and I absolutely love how it turned out!

For my second card, I reached for the new Wide Leaf Shaker Die and had a little fun changing things up! For card number two, I created my background using the new Wheat Pattern Stencil and die cut the panel with the largest Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies. I die cut the leaf and gave it a pretty ombré ink-blending treatment before offsetting it with a darker die-cut layer from the Wide Leaf Shaker Die. Instead of filling it with shaker bits, I added little hearts for a faux-shaker look! My sentiment is from the new Happy Fall Stamp Set with coordinating dies, and friends, this set is a MUST-HAVE! I think I used it on the majority of my cards for this release. To finish things off, I added acorns and leaves from the Fall Holder Additions Dies, lots of golden splatters, and, of course, a sweet burlap bow. 

For my third card, I die cut the leaf twice using two different shades of berry cardstock and added some ink blending to each die-cut piece for a little extra depth. For my background, I used the Layered Fall Wreath Stencil Set and once again added those fun little hearts for a faux-shaker effect. The sweetest sentiment from the new Happy Fall Stamp Set with coordinating dies brings everything together perfectly. I added plenty of shimmer and golden splatters because, in my crafty world, there’s almost always room for more sparkle! This time, I finished the card with a pretty gold bow, and I think this one might be one of my favorites! 

For my fourth and fifth cards, I pulled out the new Fall Bucket Additions Dies and paired them with my much-beloved original Candy Bucket Die. I absolutely adore that Paulina continues to create additions for the original die sets—it makes them feel brand new all over again and means we never have to stop using our favorites!  For both backgrounds, I used the new Gingham Stencil, adding a little partial stenciling, ink smooshing, and LOTS of splatters to create those perfectly imperfect fall backgrounds. For the scarecrow card, I added additional elements from the Fall Mug Additions Dies, a few hearts, and, of course, a sentiment from the new Happy Fall Stamp Set.

For the turkey card, I used the new Gingham Stencil on the bucket, added sweet little hearts and elements from the new Fall Holder Additions Dies, and finished it with the Blessings sentiment from—you guessed it—the new Happy Fall Stamp Set! I absolutely adore these cards, and the Candy Bucket Additions are definitely some of my favorite products to create with! 

And now for my bonus card! I couldn’t resist making a second scarecrow card with the new Fall Bucket Additions Dies, but this time I left the original Candy Bucket Die on the shelf. Instead, I used the new Pinking Circles Dies as my base, and oh my goodness, these circles look SO cute layered onto the Pinking Rectangle Dies! I added a cozy little scarf from the Fall Mug Additions Dies to keep my scarecrow nice and toasty for those crisp autumn days.  The leaves are a mix of the new Stitched Leaves Dies and the new Fall Holder Additions Dies, while the background features the Layered Foliage Stencil with some partial stenciling for a soft, whimsical look. For my sentiment, I used the new Upright Greetings: Fall Stamp Set, and voilà… the cutest little scarecrow ever!
