Hi friends, this is Debbie on the blog today! For the new fall-bulous release today, I have the Big Fall Cupcake Die paired with the Fall Words Stencil.

I started off with my background, using Desert Storm Cardstock A2 size in a horizontal position. Placing the cardstock on a grip mat, I placed the Fall Words Stencil on top and applied Nuvo Glimmer Paste Rich Cocoa. Set to the side to dry completely.

Then I die cut out the Slice of Pie, 2 layers for each of the Sunflowers, and topping from white cardstock.  I started with ink blending on two different yellow inks to the pedals of the flower. The back pedals are with a darker yellow to give dimension to them. Then centers are also with two colors of brown, using a E44 copic pen to add dot detail to the centers. The slice of pie was colored with Copics, E35,E33, E31,E30. For the Carmel topping I used Carmel Ink from Taylored Expressions, seemed fitting. The leaves were from two shades of green cardstock and the ice cream was from a cream where I added E41 and E40 to give more detail. 

Then once the panel was dry I die cut it out with the largest Stitched Torn Rectangle Die and mat it onto the Crimson cardstock that was also used for the cake holder. Adhere it all together with liquid glue and popped up the sunflowers and slice of pie with 3D foam squares. 

Once that was finished I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from Solid Foliage stamp set with Cream embossing powder. Using the Coordinating Dies to cut the sentiment out. Popping up the right side of it so it will remain level with the cupcake. Then I added Espresso Pearls to the topping and on the cake holder.

Hi crafty friends! It’s Christina again, back to share a sweet and simple card design featuring the fun new Patterned Apples Stamp Set. I can see using this versatile set for fall themes, back to school, or even Valentine’s Day! I paired the set with my favorite thing from the latest release, the Layered Leaf Lattice Stencils, adding an unexpected white clay heart detail. Let’s get started! 

My first step was to stencil the background on kraft cardstock trimmed to 4 x 5” with white stencil paste using just the first layer of the Layered Leaf Lattice Stencils. I added a 2” piece of white cardstock to the top of the panel and trimmed it out with a thin strip of black cardstock that I had added a white heat embossed sentiment to. Then I framed everything up with a Scallop Frame that I die cut from kraft cardstock.

Next, I stamped the apple and leaf outlines with black ink on white cardstock and added the apple patterns using red ink. I colored the apple leaves and stems with alcohol ink markers and then die cut everything with the coordinating dies. Then, I attached the apples with a combination of liquid adhesive and foam squares before adding white gel pen highlights.

My last step was to add White Clay Hearts to the lattice pattern and then attach everything to a black card base slightly larger than the scallop frame.

Hello everyone, it’s June here today and I’m sharing this fun, colorful card using some of the new products from the September release.

Even though it isn’t my usual style, I was instantly drawn to the new Solid Fall Foliage Stamp Set when I saw it. It was the first product I used from the new release because I was SO excited to play around with all the foliage pieces and experiment with different color palettes. I feel like I spent a good hour gathering all my Distress Oxides and coming up with all kinds of color combinations before settling on this magenta-purple-ochre combo.

Here’s a quick rundown of the colors I ended up going with. Every piece of foliage is made up of 2 parts, so in most cases I used 2 shades of ink. But more on that later!

I used Pink Flamingo and Picked Raspberry for the biggest leaves and the cute little mushrooms and acorns, Tattered Rose and Saltwater Taffy for the smaller leaves, Milled Lavender and Seedless Preserves for the oak leaves, Dusty Concord for the flower buds and Fossilized Amber for the remaining leaves.

Now, since I don’t usually do this type of layered stamping, I lacked quite a few shades in my collection to properly layer my images. Distress Oxides don’t really darken up an image by stamping twice like some inks do, so I had to improvise when I realized I only had 1 shade of ochre in my collection. But of course, there was an easy fix: the matching stencil! The Solid Fall Foliage Stencil is the same size as the stamps, which means that you can decide to either stamp or ink blend your leaves before cutting them out. What I did to fix my issue was use a light hand with my leaf stencil, and then stamp the stem on top with the opaque color. I should’ve done this from the start, because I love the slight ombre effect I managed to get by stenciling instead.

I really wanted to use the Many Thanks Shadow dies as my sentiment, so I cut the words out of ochre cardstock 2 times so I could stack them on top of each other for some extra dimension. I did the same for the shadow pieces, but from white cardstock instead. 

After playing around with the different foliage pieces for a while, I decided to go for a symmetrical spotlight type of layout, with an open part in the middle where my sentiment could go. I stretched that idea onto my cardbase by using a heavy hand on the outsides of my panel and leaving the inside very light. I used a combo of Pink Flamingo and Saltwater Taffy. I also splattered some Picked Raspberry ink and thinned out white acrylic paint onto my panel.

I adhered all my foliage pieces and the sentiment with 1 mm foam tape to add even more dimension. I love the way it ended up looking! I think it adds a lot of interest to the card.

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today and I am back with a fun Halloween card to share with you all. The new release is packed full of so many fun new products and I love that they all can be mixed and matched to give you so many options.

I started my card by making my card panel with the Layered Halloween Wreath stencil set. This is a set of three stencils that layer together to make a fun Halloween background. I used finger daubers and dye ink for my blending. Once my panel was finished I added a few splatters with a little black paint. 

Next, I used the Ghost Holder dies to die cut my ghost and treat bag. I filled the bag with a few candies that I die cut from the Spooky Mug Additions die set. The ghost fits perfectly in the center of the panel, though it will also be so cute to use as a Halloween tag or to tie onto a bag of treats!  Lastly, I used the Halloween Corners set for my sentiment.

Hello crafty friends! Barbara here sharing a project I made using the new Big Halloween Cupcake die set. I was inspired by traditional Halloween colors for my palette.

I began with a panel cut from white cardstock to fit a top folding A2 card base with a bit of a white border showing. I then inked the edges of that panel using distress ink and a blending tool. I wanted to create a fun background so using several of the candy corn images from the die set and randomly adhered them to the ink blended panel.

Now I wanted to create a fun spooky cupcake, so I chose lots of images from the Big Halloween Cupcake die set. I used distress ink and a blending tool to color most of the pieces that I cut that I assembled. I used the small and smaller circle dies in the set to create eyeballs to add on top of the cupcake. So fun!!

I cut out a couple of pumpkins that are also included in this amazing die set to sit next to my cupcake. I adhered the cupcake and pumpkins to a scalloped oval die that I cut from white cardstock to frame the cupcake with foam squares.

I then stamped the “spooky” from the new Halloween Train stamp set and the Birthday Wishes using black ink. I used the sentiment and the coordinating die to cut it out. I then adhered it to the cupcake with liquid glue. I then centered the oval frame and added it to the inked candy corn background which I then adhered to the white card base.

Welcome Pretty Pink Posh friends… Annette Allen here with you today and we are about to shake it up with the newly released Football Shaker and Layered Sports Balls stencils, so let’s get started.  

Create card from white cardstock A2 size. Cut a panel on kraft cardstock A2 size and adhere to the card.  

Cut a white panel measuring 4 x 5 1/2 and stencil this cool new Layered Sports Balls with yellow, teal, orange, grey and brown inks. You can blend with traditional colors or go wild with  color. Add some foam tape to the back and adhere to your card base in the center.  

Die cut all the new Football Shaker dies on white cardstock. Ink blend on the front football frame with brown and red ink. Use a light hand so it is not to dark in color. Die cut the football  shape die on a piece of acetate and adhere to the back of your football frame. I adhere mine using tear tape, it is cleaner then liquid glue.  

Turn your football to the back and adhere foam tape to the back of the acetate but only along  the frame of the football. We do not want to see any foam tape from the front. For the back of the football I ink blended the white cardstock using brown ink.  

Add your fun shaker bits from the new Beach Day Shaker Beads, peel protectant on the foam  tape and close up that shaker with the ink blending solid football. Flip over and let’s add the decor on the football. I left them white. Adhere the stitching with tear tape, don’t put liquid glue  on the acetate it could smear and leave a residue.  

Add some foam tape to the back of your football shaker and adhere to your card at an angle.  

Stamp the sentiment from the Sports stamp set on white cardstock using black ink and die cut  using the small strip from the Sentiment Strips dies. Add foam tape to the back and adhere to  the card.  

PRIZES: be sure to leave comments on each stop. We are giving away 3 $30 gift certificates to three random comments (1 winner each day) left before June 17, 2024 at 11:59 PM PST. I’ll be announcing the winners next week, so be sure to return and see if you are one of the winners.
