Hello friends, Arsenia here to share a lovely fall big cupcake with you. Fall is most definitely in the air and I’m here for it.  The leaves are changing and falling, oh so beautiful. Let’s do some fall crafting, 

I adore all the big cupcake die sets  and the Big Fall Cupcake Dies does not disappoint!  It’s jammed packed with some incredible dies, the possibilities are endless.  We have a turkey, pie, leaves, sunflowers, acorns, mushrooms and more!  First, I did some ink smooshing with aqua/teals dye inks onto heavy weight white card-stock.  After my card panel was dry I did some partial stenciling with the same die inks using the new beautiful Solid Leaf Foliage stencil set.  Next, I wanted to incorporate my sentiment onto the background.  I used the Sentiment Strips: Fall stamps and did random stamping applying first and second generation stamping.  This is best done with an acrylic block.  Background is done and I love it, it’s dreamy! I did cut it down to 3 3/4 – 5 inches.  

Next,  I cut out serval pieces from the Big Fall Cupcakes dies and the Fall Tree dies.  I used teal, aqua, yellows, oranges, mustard yellows, brown, and yellow green card-stock from my crafty realm.  I took several adornments for the cupcake and added a combination of glitter and rock candy to them.  I find using Rangers Multi Medium Matte works the best to adhere the glitter combination.  I wanted them to have a sugary sparkle appearance.  I used the negative pieces from the pie die to decorate the cupcake liner.  I think the teal diamonds pop off the orange cupcake liner!

To finish the card I die cut the large oval from the Eyelet Ovals Dies. I adhered everything and ta-da card is done.  It’s so lovely, I wish I could capture all the sparkle with a photo but trust me it’s sparkly!  

Thank you so much friends for stopping by, I hope you have a great day!  Happy crafting!

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today. I’m sharing my next box card – this time for Fall and Thanksgiving!

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

I started with die cutting all of the pieces I needed with patterned paper in Fall themed colors. I cut the Stitched Turkey Dies, leaves and flowers from the Big Fall Cupcake Dies, layered strips from the Sentiment Strips Dies, and my base from the Scallop Box Card Dies. My thinnest sentiment strip and base of the box card were die cut from a beige cardstock.

For the sentiment, I cut the Fall Script Die out of a dark pink cardstock and stamped “happy” in a matching ink from the Holiday Sentiments stamp set to create the “Happy Fall” sentiment for the box card.

I assembled the turkey together and adhered it to the back of the two middle shelves in the middle of the box card. On the front of the two middle shelves, I adhered the sunflowers and green leaves. The sides of the box card, I added different colored leaves and a couple more on the front of the box card with the sentiment strips.

I hope this gives you some inspiration to use your patterned paper to create a fun turkey for the upcoming season.

Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here and you might know that I love shakers. I really, REALLY love them, LOL! And I love snowflakes too so I can’t wait for you to see my latest shaker card with the gorgeous Stitched Snowflakes!

Some fun things about this shaker…it is very flat & easy to mail and it uses some “crafty trash” aka the plastic die packaging. Also you could easily change the sentiment to make a Christmas, birthday, hello card, etc. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you’ve been inspired by all the fun holiday projects!

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today. I am continuing my box card series for the year with the best time of year – Halloween!

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

To start my card, I am going to do my stenciling first as I’m going to be using stencil paste and want to make sure the details dry while I work on other parts of the card. I cut the Scallop Box Card Dies (the back arch and two rectangles) out of purple cardstock and used the Layered Birch Trees Stencils. For the (A) stencil I used Black Soot Distress Oxide and for the (B) stencil I used Grrr! Simon Hurley Lunar Paste.

While that was drying, I cut the Scallop Box Card Dies side scallop pieces and one more rectangle out of brown glitter cardstock and the base of the box card out of dark grey cardstock. I assembled the box together and you can follow along in the video if you’d like to see each step of the process.

Once the box card was assembled and I added on all of the scalloped pieces – including the stenciled pieces once they were dry – it’s time to decorate! I stamped all of the bats from the Batty About You stamp set and colored them in with alcohol markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all out after I added some white highlights with a gel pen.

For the sentiment, I die cut a scalloped rectangle out of purple cardstock and a rectangle from white cardstock from the Sentiment Strips Dies. I stamped my sentiment with a black ink from the Batty About You stamp set. I added the sentiment strips and a bat to the front of the box card and a few bats to the back arch with foam adhesive.

There are two bats I added with acetate strips to the center pieces of the box card so it looks like they’re flying! I just love how fun this card turned out and honestly I think you could use for any bat lover in your life, not just for Halloween.

I hope you enjoyed the Halloween box card and I’m excited to get more in the fall mood for next month!

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears on the blog today. If you enjoy handing out treats for Halloween, here’s a creative twist to make it even more special.

In my video, I’ll walk you through the steps to create these candy buckets for your spooky celebrations!

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

I made some adorable candy buckets using the Candy Bucket dies. These easy-to-make buckets are perfect for holding goodies and adding a festive flair to your Halloween. 

I love how there are four face options for the candy buckets — Frankenstein, a pumpkin, a ghost, and a monster — and I made one of each! 

You can use the front of the candy buckets on cards, but I made them into little candy buckets that you can put candy inside.

I made a box to put in the middle of two of the candy buckets and attached the box with double sided adhesive tape to the front and back pieces.

These would be super cute to give to kids, friends, family, and co-workers on Halloween. You can fill them with candy, or other small snacks, or toys.

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

Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here and I LOVE Halloween so I’m thrilled to be sharing my latest Halloween project with you!

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

For me Halloween is all about the treats! Instead of one night of trick or treating for kids, I think we should spend the whole month giving our friends & family cute little goodies! And this DIY treat bucket project is the perfect way to get started!

To turn the PPP Candy Buckets into actual buckets you just need a 3-1/2 x 10 piece of heavyweight cardstock and a scoring tool! Then after creating a little open top container, you decorate both sides with the adorable Candy Buckets dies and fill with candy!!! It’s really easy and super fun! You can see the whole process in the video.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy Halloween!

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today. I’m sharing a Halloween card I made inspired by some patterned paper that I have had sitting in my collection for too long!

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

I started with making a custom background by stenciling the Halloween Words Stencil with Distress Oxides in Ripe Persimmon, Mustard Seed, Pumice Stone and Peacock Feathers on white cardstock. Using the largest die from the Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies, I cut it and splattered some black ink before setting it aside to dry.

Next I did a lot of die cutting from patterned paper using the Build A Monster Dies and assembled them all together. You can see the steps I did to build them by watching my video today! I also added some pink cheeks with a marker and some white highlights with a gel pen.

My sentiment is embossed in white on black cardstock using “Happy Halloween” from the Halloween Corners Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies. I also cut the second largest die from the Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies out of vellum. I layered the stenciled background onto a card base, then the vellum, followed by the monsters and sentiment with foam adhesive to give them some dimension on top of the Stitched Torn Rectangles.

I love these unique colors for Halloween and that you can personalize the monsters in such a fun way with patterned paper! What color combination would you use with the Build A Monster Dies for Halloween?

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video on the Pretty Pink Posh YouTube channel today. I wanted to share a simple but cute card for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday using the Fall Icons Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies!

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

I started with stenciling my background using the Layered Leaf Lattice Stencils with brown ink with the (A) stencil and red ink with the (B) stencil on white cardstock that measures 3.5 x 4.75”. This panel was adhered to a piece of kraft cardstock trimmed to 4 x 5.25”, then onto an A2 card base.

The six Fall Icons were stamped with my stamping platform first in a brown alcohol marker friendly ink and I colored them with alcohol markers. You can watch the YouTube video on the Pretty Pink Posh Channel if you want to see a close up of the coloring and the complete process of making the card. After I was done coloring, I put the paper back into the stamping platform and stamped the images again with a darker brown ink that is not alcohol marker friendly to create darker lines around the images.

I cut all of the images with the smaller circle in the Fall Icons Coordinating Die Set as well as six scalloped circles out of kraft cardstock. I layered the circles with adhesive and added foam adhesive to the back. I then added them to the card!

You can step up this card by adding a sentiment or minimizing the spacing to add more icons. I hope this brings you some inspiration today and you’re excited to head into Fall like I am!

Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here and I’m so excited to share my latest PPP creation with you! 

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

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!

Supplies:
–Fall Harvest stamps & coordinating dies
–Cozy Fall Critters stamps & coordinating dies
–Fall Bouquets stamps
–Big Excavator dies

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed this card and video!
