I love everything Fall and these sunflowers brought me all the Fall vibes. I cannot wait for the leaves to change colors!
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.
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 thePumpkin 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!
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.
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
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!
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 theHalloween 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!
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!
Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today. I am a HUGE fan of the new Candy Treats Dies and couldn’t wait to start creating with them! Obviously there are some intended layering options here, but you’d be surprised at how many different combinations you can make with all the bits and pieces included in this set.
I loved all the possibilities, so I decided to make a card entirely covered with candies. I considered mixing and matching colors, but decided to make a gradient card instead transitioning from orange to pink.
To create the card, I ran all the Candy Treats dies through the machine four times in various shades of pink and orange. Next, I assembled my candies. Remember, the sky’s the limit here. Don’t be afraid to swap out a candy center that you think may be intended for something else.
As I arranged the candies on my card base I kept a couple things in mind. Obviously color was the top priority, but I also tried to vary placement of candies by type, ones that were layered vs solid, as well as candies that did or did not have stitched lines. And don’t forget to start with the larger images first and fill in with the smaller bits. Luckily with this many dies you will have lots of pieces/sizes at your disposal.
To finish off my card I stamped and trimmed out a sentiment from the previously released Halloween Wreath stamp set and mounted it on top of a big, black rectangle.
The Candy Treats die setis a must-have in my opinion. It works great for Halloween, but will be perfect for tons of other occasions. I’m thinking Christmas candies, birthdays, Valentine’s, sweet thank yous, or any card for the kids (or kids at heart) in your life. :) I can’t wait to see what you create with it!
Hello friends! Raquel here today sharing some inspiration with the Spider Web die! This die has just been released and I believe it’s a must have for all your Halloween themed projects.
I started this project by using the Layered Candy Corn Stencils. Love these layered stencils to create fun and very quick backgrounds! I used Spun Sugar, Seedless Preserves and Wild Honey Distress Oxide Inks to color this fun corn.
Once the background was done, I trimmed it to 4 ¼ by 5 ½ inches. I couldn’t help creating a shaker with these stencils.
To create a frame to build my shaker, I used the new Wonky Stitched Rectangles. I used the largest rectangle to cut out a panel with an orchid cardstock. Then I used a rectangle die, two times shorter to create my frame.
COPIC MARKER COLORS
E30, E31, E33, E35 and E37 for the head, legs and arms.
W00 and W1 for the dressing.
Y17, YR04 and YR 07 for the pumpkin.
Then I adhered a piece of acetate and foam adhesive to the back and adhered it to the stenciled background where I had already sprinkled some white glitter. I didn’t want to add any more sequins or additional embellishments to my shaker as I thought the colorful background was enough.
Next up, I die cut a white web with the super cuteSpider Web Die. My initial idea was to use black cardstock to cut it out but then I decided to use plain white cardstock, so the final result was more cohesive.
I did use black cardstock to cut out three spiders with the cutest spider die that is included in the Spider Web Die set.
The Layered Candy Corn stencil is a 3-piece layering stencil. I’m going to ink blend distress oxides inks to create my background using Squeezed Lemonade, Carved Pumpkin, and Antique Linen.
Next, I’m going to stamp a sentiment from the Halloween Critters stamp set. I love that Pretty Pink Posh has a coordinating die for the larger sentiment. I heat embossed it in white onto black cardstock and die cut out. Be sure to watch the video for a fun tip I’m sharing about trimming down small sentiments.
I wanted to add the new Spider Web to my card but not make it too creepy so I die cut it from white glitter cardstock and 2 more times from plain white cardstock so I could layer it up. Creating dimension with the layers is going to help separate it from the busy background.
I had trimmed the candy corn background down to 3 ¾” x 5” and added to an orange card base. This helps pull out the orange in the card. A yellow or even purple card base would work here too to keep with the Halloween theme.
I added the Spider Web with liquid glue and then popped up the die cut sentiment using foam tape.
I love creating Halloween cards and can’t wait to get spooky with this new release!
