Hello friends, it’s Kristie here! Fall cards are my absolute favorite to make and I quickly fell in love with Pretty Pink Posh’s fall release! I love getting an early start on holiday cards, so I decided to use the Stitched Turkey die set for a fun Thanksgiving card.
For the background, I used the Layered Leaf Lattice stencil set on some white pearlescent cardstock. It’s so fun stenciling on specialty cardstock. Adds a little extra shimmer to the card. The ink colors I used are Distress Oxide Vintage Photo and Crackling Campfire. I did let the ink dry completely so it didn’t smudge.
For a little extra detail on the background, I added 4 chevron Stacked Edges die cuts. I did use some woodgrain patterned paper for the Stacked Edges pieces.
It’s always fun to use non-traditional colors for holiday colors. I couldn’t resist adding a bit of teal and soft pink to the sweet turkey. For the back row of feathers, I used 2 different cardstock colors, teal and orange. I used the soft pink cardstock for the smaller, front row of feathers.
The sentiment Happy Thanksgiving is part of the Sentiment Strips: Fall stamp set. I cut it out using the Sentiment Strips die set. To help the sentiment pop, I cut out 2 sentiment banner die cut pieces, one from teal cardstock and one from dark brown cardstock. I offset them slightly creating a dark brown drop shadow.
Have you ever made a pull-tab card? This pull-tab design is so easy to make and you don’t even need a special die set! Look through your stash for a big circle to make a notch and something to make a channel. I found everything I needed in the Big Excavator set but a birthday candle or sentiment strip would be amazing too!
I can’t wait to make another pull-tab card with the Ghost Friends and a pile of pumpkins! And a pile of leaves with any (or all) the critters!
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 RectangleDieand 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 theCoordinating 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.

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I’m thrilled to be sharing with you this duo of matching autumn cards featuring brand new products from the September 2024 Release, as well as additional ones from previous years. As you may already know, mixing and matching items from different sets and different years is my favorite exercise, so I try to do it whenever I can to show you how easy it is.
New release will be available September 9th
Let’s start with the apple themed background, shall we? I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches kraft panel, and started off by creating a white base using the Layered Apples stencil #1 along with white pigment ink. I really love to stencil on kraft cardstock, and every time I do, I like to make this white base first because it makes the colors you add after pop even more. I kept the stencil #1 but shifted it a little bit to the right, and applied colored oxide inks: worn lipstick, rusty hinge, fossilized amber, peeled paint and peacock feathers. And because I shifted the stencil, it created a nice white border around my colorful apples.
Next I created the mushroom themed background on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches kraft panel, and just like the first background, I started off by making a white base using the Layered Mushrooms stencil #1 and #2. Next I shifted the stencil #1 and colored the top of each mushroom using the same oxide inks as before, and then shifted the stencil #2 and colored the mushrooms feet using vintage photo oxide ink. And once again, by shifting the stencils, we get a cool white border around the mushrooms. Finally I used the stencil #3 along with white textured paste to add cute dots on some of the mushrooms.
Both the Apple Shaker and the Mushroom Shaker were made the same way, except for a couple of details, so here are the different steps to make the apple.1. Cut the apple frame out of colored cardstock,2. Cut a whole apple out of acetate, and another one out of pattern paper,3. Attach the acetate apple at the back of the apple frame using liquid glue,4. Still at the back of the apple frame, add foam strips directly on the acetate, all along the apple edges, following the rounded shape,5. Pour Autumn Shaker Beads on the acetate,6. Close the shaker by sticking the patterned apple to the foam strips,7. Shake, and voilà!
I repeated all those steps to make the Mushroom Shaker, except that to make the mushroom’s foot, I cut an additional mushroom out of kraft cardstock, cut the foot out, and attached it to the shaker using liquid glue. Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock, and added a little bit of depth to each element using oxide inks. Here is a detailed list of the products I used: • Big Fall Cupcake – sunflowers, acorns, leaves, mushroom • Fall Basket – apple, tiny leaf • Stitched Birds & Holiday Birds – crows • Fall Mug Additions – berry branches • Big Halloween Cupcakes & Spooky Mug Additions – pumpkins.
I white heat embossed two greetings on dark brown cardstock and cut them using the matching dies: “Fall greetings” is from Fall Bouquets, and “Happy autumn” is from Solid Fall Foliage. I attached everything on my panels, starting with the shakers using liquid glue, and then the die-cut pieces and greetings using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, 3mm glue dots, and liquid glue.
For the final details, I glued an Onyx Pearl on each crow to make the eyes, added highlights and details to the elements using a white gel pen, and glossy accents to the berries to make them shine. And that’s it!
I hope these autumn shaker cards have inspired you. Stop by tomorrow for a look at all of the new products in picture form!
Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a sneak peek at two of the new stencils that will be released!
New release will be available September 9th
I want to start with my favorite new stencil from this release as it works perfectly with a coordinating stamp and die set! The Solid Fall Foliage stencilscreate beautiful fall images with the layered set. I used different Autumn inspired inks to color in the leaves, mushrooms, berries and acorn for the (A) stencil, then brought browns for the (B) stencil on a light brown cardstock. Alternatively, you could use the Solid Fall Foliage stamp set to stamp the details, but the stenciling is so quick and easy!
Next I stamped “Happy Autumn” from the Solid Fall Foliage stamp set and embossed it in a white embossing powder on brown cardstock. Then I used the Solid Fall Foliage coordinating dies to cut out the sentiment and all of the stenciled images! I layered the images on a Mini Scallop Card cut from brown cardstock to finish the card.
For my second card, I really wanted to use the new mushroom themed products so I started with stenciling the Layered Mushroom Stencils with red inks with the (A) stencil, light brown with the (B) stencil, and stencil paste with the (C) stencil. Once it was dry, I cut it with the largest Eyelet Rectangle Dies and adhered it to center of an A2 card base.
I stamped my sentiment in brown ink on kraft cardstock from the Fall Bouquets stamp set and used the coordinating dieto cut it out. Next I built my shaker using the Mushroom Shaker dies out of red and light brown cardstock and acetate. I think it looks so cute with the Fall Mushroom Clay Confetti! I adhered the shaker to the center of the card and layered the sentiment as well.
I hope you enjoyed these cards with two of the new stencils – you’re going to love all of them along with everything else from this release!
Hi friends, it’s Jeanne here. Fall is in the air and I’m so excited to share two projects made with the upcoming release from Pretty Pink Posh!
New release will be available September 9th
The Fall Icons stamp set includes 12 fabulous images that will have you thinking of all your fall favorites. Pumpkins, apples, gourds and rainbow corn have me thinking of trips to the local farm stand.
Colorful leaves, acorns, sunflowers and mushrooms are a walk in the woods! And of course it wouldn’t be Fall without Thanksgiving with that cute little turkey!
The Fall Icons coordinating die setincludes three circle dies perfect for stacking with the stamped images to add more color and layers to your designs.
The background for my card is the new Fall Words stencilthat I added to craft paper with white embossing paste. The sentiment is from the Fall Harvest stamp set.
For my second card we’re going to the Apple Orchard! This card starts with the Layered Leaf Lattice stencil inked on a panel of pink cardstock.
This set is for those of you who might not like to color. You can definitely stamp the apple outlines and color them as you like, but it’s so convenient to color them with the stamps in the set.
The Patterned Apples stamp set includes three different size apples that you can stamp with solid, stripe, or dot patterns in the set. It also includes two different sized leaves as well as stems that you can also color with coordinating stamps.
I inked my apples in shades of red, green and yellow, die cut them, and then arranged them on the card randomly. Some of the apples are adhered flat to the card while others are raised with adhesive foam tape to add dimension.
I think these apples are fabulous and I know they’ll be great for fall as well as teacher appreciation cards and gifts.
Come back tomorrow for another sneak peek of the upcoming release!
Hello crafty friends, Arsenia here! I’m thrilled to share this sneak peek using the Fall Harvest stampswith coordinating dies! The images are beautiful from this set, the possibilities are endless! I had fun creating these beauties and the color palettes might be a little unexpected for Fall. Fall crafting is my favorite, let’s get started!
New release will be available September 9th
First, I stamped and colored the images from the Fall Harvest stamp set with an array of alcohol markers from my crafty realm. Once I colored all the images I decided to focus on one specific image to make a beautiful fall spray of leaves cascading down my card. I used teals, dark yellows, and burnt orange colors for my palette. Next it was time to work on my background, I used a new stencil set called Layered Autumn Harvest and I can’t get enough of this stencil! This stencil makes gorgeous backgrounds! I added some faux brown splatters to the top left and bottom right of the card panel.
I needed a resting place for the sentiment, I decided to use the Eyelet Circle Dies! I adore the script of this sentiment and it’s included in Fall Harvest stamp set and has a die! I finished card with some white gel pen highlights and added a small twine bow! Ta-Da card done and I love it! The images are versatile in this set, you can make sprays, wreaths, and more!
For my second card I decided to embrace several of the images from the Fall Harvest stamp setwithcoordinating dies! I stamped and colored the images in an array of pinks, oranges, peach, and brown alcohol markers! Next, I took the coordinating dies and did some die cutting.
For my background, I used the new Layered Autumn Harvest Stencils! I needed a resting place for my images and decided to use the Eyelet Rectangles Dies, specifically the largest die. I cut the die out of vellum and adhered to the cardbase. My sentiment is from a new set called Fall Bouquets stamp setwith coordinating dies. This is just a little sneak peek into this gorgeous set! I wanted a backing for my sentiment and i decided to use one of my most used die sets called Sentiment Strips Dies. I finished the card up with some white gel pen highlights! Friends I adore this card, I love the shabby chic autumnal look of this beauty!
The new release is chock full of fall goodness! Thank you so much for stopping by today and make sure to visit tomorrow for another sneak peek!
Hi folks, Kavya here with two cards using the latest release!! This fall themed release is filled with cute and adorable autumn themed elements that pair well with a bunch of previously released products.
New release will be available September 9th
My first card uses the new Solid Fall Foliage stamp set. This stamp is perfect on its own! I started off by stamping the leaves and stems using two tones of colors. I used purple, pink, blue, orange, green and yellow shades of dye ink for the leaves. Pro Tip – First die cut the leaves and then stamp them to get the perfect cut.
I decided to cut a bit more of the white border after die cutting to make it a bit more clean. Then, I took a piece of dark blue cardstock and stenciled a background using Deco Leaves stencil and black dye ink. I also ink blended the borders with black dye ink. I adhered all the leaves on my card base and finished it off with the new Many Thanks Shadow die. I also added a few more details using white gel pen and gold paint marker.
For the sentiment, I used the Easter Circles coordinating die and heat embossed the sentiment from the Fall Bouquets set. I adhered all the elements on some patterned paper to finish off my card!
Hope all of these projects inspire you. Stop by tomorrow for another sneak peek!
