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!

Sneak Peek: Autumn Leaf Wreath

Hello crafty friends! It’s Yoonsun here to share my autumn card with the new Autumn Leaf Wreath stamp set along with another new Grateful Script die. Autumn is the best season to make the most beautiful cards, right?!!

New release will be available September 14th.

I started by stamping Autumn Leaf Wreath onto watercolour paper using pale beige dye ink. I then watercoloured the stamped image with some green, orange and brown Distress inks. Once the autumn wreath was dry, I die cut it with the coordinating die. I lightly drew all autumn leaves using Copic Multiliner Marker 0.05mm Black along the stamping line.

For the sentiment, I die cut the Grateful Script from metallic gold cardstock. I die cut the Pretty Petals Background panel from thick white cardstock as well. I mounted the background panel on white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added all elements as shown in the picture using foam tape.

The new Autumn Leaf Wreath is so adorable, isn’t it? 😊

Thank you so much for stopping by! Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek!

Hugs,
Yoonsun

Sneak Peek: Fall Envelopes

Hello, Gemma here today with a sneak peek of the new Fall Envelopes stamp set. There are two envelope stamps in this set, along with accompanying images and sentiments.

New release will be available September 14th.

Sunflowers are a favourite of mine so I stamped out the sunflower envelope and coloured it with copic markers. I also stamped and coloured some of the smaller images, then die cut everything with the coordinating dies.

Copic Colours

Sunflowers: Y13-17 E55-59 Leaves: YG63-67; G24; YR15 YR27 Flowers: V22-25 Envelope: W00-1

On a square card base, I adhered a strip of patterned paper across the centre. I also added thin strips of satin gold card either side, cut using the Stitched Strips die set.

I stamped a sentiment from the Fall Envelopes stamp set under the patterned paper, then adhered the envelope at an angle in the centre of the card. I added the smaller images around the card, with additional die cuts behind for dimension.

Stop by tomorrow for another day of sneak peeks! Thanks for joining us today!

Sneak Peek: Mouse Friends + Potted Sunflowers

Hi folks, it’s Kavya and I have a sneak peek of the new release. I am a huge fan of color so I obviously enjoy fall as I can go crazy with the warm color palette. Today, I am showcasing the new Mouse Friends and Potted Sunflowers stamp sets.

New release will be available September 14th.

Sneak Peek: Mouse Friends + Potted Sunflowers

I first started off by creating my background by ink blending using Pinstripe stencil and shades of pink, purple and tan dye inks. As always, I splattered some white paint to make my background dramatic. Then, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Mouse Friends and Potted Sunflowers with alcohol ink markers.

To finish off my card, I die cut the word ‘thanks’ using the new Thanks script die and ink blended one end using purple dye inks. Add some heat embossed sentiments from Mouse Friends and you are done!

I hope this post inspires you! Check back tomorrow for more inspiration of the new release!

Thanks, Kavya

Fall Sunflowers w/ Copic Markers + Video

Hi crafty friends! This is Mindy with you today to share some inspiration using the Sunflowers stamp set.

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

I love everything Fall and these sunflowers brought me all the Fall vibes. I cannot wait for the leaves to change colors!

Fall Sunflowers w/ Copic Markers + Video

I’m coloring the sunflowers with my copic markers today. The colors I’m using are:

E99, YR24, Y08, Y02
E79, E77, E74
G28, G07, YG06, YG01

To create a little scene behind my sunflowers, I’m going to use the Layered Clouds stencil with a light blue ink and blending tool. I’m going to blend so that it fades off into the white of the cardstock before getting to the bottom.

Then at the bottom of the card, I’ll blend on a light green ink for the look of grass. For my sentiment, I’m using the Encouragement Greetings which has such a great variety of sentiments.

After my card is adhered to an A2 size card base, I’m going to bring in some detail to the center of the sunflowers with a white gel pen.

I hope you enjoyed this video tutorial and were inspired to create your own fall card.

Autumn Pumpkin Border

Hello, Gemma here and today I’m sharing a card using the new Pumpkin Border die.

There are lots of different ways to use this die, including colouring with different mediums or die-cut inlay with coloured card stock. I think it looks lovely die cut from white card and layered over a pretty background, so the colours show through.

I die cut the border 3 times – from white card, pearl sparkle white card, and another piece of white card with stick-it adhesive on the back. This’ll make it easier to adhere to my background. I layered the pieces together for dimension. Next, I cut some 1/4″ strips of card, in autumnal colours. I decided on 6 strips of card, in yellow/orange, purples and greens.

On a landscape mini-slimline card base (3.5 x 6″), I marked a line across the centre with pencil. I used this pencil line to help me adhere the first of my card strips in a straight line. Once all the strips were adhered across the card, I trimmed away any overhanging pieces.

I stamped a greeting from the Woodland Thanks stamp set, then removed the backing from the Pumpkin border and adhered it over the stripes of colour on my card to finish.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope this card inspired you!

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here on the blog. Today, I am sharing a fun slimline card using the cute Construction Trucks stamp set!

I first cut a slimline panel in white cardstock and used the Layered Roads stencils to create the dirt background. I inked it with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink and then sprayed it with water for an oxidized effect. Next, I cut a larger panel that measures 3.5 inch x 8.5 inch in black cardstock. I also cut a few strips of yellow cardstock and adhered them onto the black cardstock diagonally. I then adhered the 2 panels together using liquid glue. For the sentiment, I stamped it onto the card panel using Versafine Onyx black ink.

Next, I stamped and colored the images from the Construction Trucks stamp set. I love these trucks and I colored them yellow to look like the Tonka trucks that my nephew used to play with when he was younger. I cut the images with their coordinating dies and foam mounted them onto the card panel. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a slimline-size card base.

That’s all for this card. I hope that I’ve inspired you to craft with this cute stamp set. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Creating A Halloween Scene

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. Halloween cards are so much fun to make and I created a cute Halloween scene with some fun new Halloween products from the Pretty Pink Posh.

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

I started off by coloring the mummy bear image from the Halloween Critters stamp set. I colored it with Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens. The colors I used are as follows: —-Bandages – Gray, Light Gray, Blender—-Body – Brown, Blender —-Nose – Black —-Inside Ear – Beige —-Pumpkin – Orange, Bright Yellow

I also colored some of the images from the Halloween Envelopes stamp set, specifically the candy and a spider. The colors I used are as follows: —-Jelly Bean – Carmine Red, Blender —-Candy Corn – Bright Yellow, Orange, Light Gray —-Candy – Violet —-Spider – Black, Blender

Pretty Pink Posh: Creating A Halloween Scene

For my background, I cut a piece of cardstock to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″. I added Twisted Citron Distress Oxide ink to the bottom inch of the cardstock which will represent the grass for my Halloween scene. Next, I added Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide ink all over the remaining background. Finally, I added Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink around the edges.

After I inked the entire background, I was ready to do some stenciling. The stencil I used is the Layered Ghosts Stencil. I placed Stencil A over the background. This stencil is the one with the shape of the ghosts. I wanted a very subtle ghost background so I added a white pigment ink to the ghosts. Next, I placed Stencil B on the background. This stencil contains ghost faces and I added them with a black ink. Finally, I added Stencil C which contains the stars. I used Picket Fence Studios Paper Glaze in Daffodil Yellow along with a palette knife to add the glaze. The glaze not only made the stars bright yellow, but it also added some dimension to my background which I love!

After my background dried, I stamped the fence from the Halloween Borders stamp set onto the green grassy portion of the card layer using a black ink. I added my critter from the Halloween Critters stamp set, some candy from the Halloween Envelopes stamp set, and the word “boo” from the Boo Script die set.

Finally, I added this layer to a piece of a black cardstock that I cut to 4 ¼ x 5 1/2” and then added it to an A2 card base which is 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a spooky day!

Halloween Ghosts Shaker

Hello lovelies! Raquel here today sharing a fun and super easy to make design using the recently released Cauldron Shaker die.

I started this project by ink blending the background using Evergreen Bough, Salvaged Patina and Black Shoot Distress Oxide Inks. First, I applied Salvaged Patina with a stronger pressure on the edges blending softly towards the center of my A2 panel.

I repeat the same process with Evergreen bough trying to leave the center of the panel lighter, so it had a visible highlight. Finally, I slightly applied some Black Shoot Distress Oxide Ink and sprayed the whole background with a fine mist of water, Brushed Pewter and some iridescent white watercolor.

I’m in love with the new Ghost Friends Stamp Set so I wanted to use these adorable ghosts. I colored three of these cuties with Copic Markers using the following:

BV000 and BV00 for the ghosts
W7, W6, W5, YR04 and Y17 for the Hats
V6 and V12 for the bats
YR04, Y17, E55 and E33 for the broom.

Next up I die cut four Cauldron Shaker pieces. I applied a piece of acetate under the first one and then glued the rest for some dimension. I filled this shaker with the Halloween Party Clay Confetti and glued it to the bottom part of the panel.

My last step was to add the sentiment. I decided to use the Boo to You phrase from the same Ghost Friends Stamp Set. I white heat embossed it on black cardstock and added to the center of this fun scene. I arranged the ghost and bats around the sentiment and my card was done!

I hope this card inspires you to create with these fun, unique and gorgeous products!

Hugs! Raquel

Whimsical Pumpkin Border

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today with an Autumn card featuring the new Pumpkin Border die, and of course, I have included adorable PPP critters from an older set called Pumpkin Patch Critters.

I first cut a panel in white cardstock, measuring 4.25×5 inches. I ink blended it with Milled Lavender, Spun Sugar, and Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Inks. I then splattered some violet watercolor for added interest.

Next, I cut the Pumpkin Border die in white cardstock. I put strips of tape on the back of the die and glued the negatives back in place. I then colored the pumpkins with Copic markers and adhered another Pumpkin Border die on top for a clean look. Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the adorable images from the Pumpkin Patch Critters stamp set.

I also cut a frame from the Nature Essential Dies and foam mounted it on the card panel. I then arranged the critters and pumpkin border, foam mounting them on the panel for dimension. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto an A2-sized pink cardstock.

That’s all for this Autumn card. I hope you try crafting with the Pumpkin Border die. It looks kinda intimidating at first, but I promise, it’s fun and easy to piece together. Thanks so much for stopping by!
