Happy Halloween Card by Larissa Heskett

Happy Halloween!

Are you ready for Halloween crafting? Today we are sharing a fun Halloween card by Larissa featuring our Spooky Stories Stamp Set that is sure to put you in the mood for Halloween fun!

For this spooky card she stamped the tall image the image of ghosts from our Spooky Stories Stamp Set. This image is designed to fit on our bookmark dies but it works perfectly on a card too! She also stamped a few little bats using the same stamp set to add to her card.

Next she cut out ovals using our Oval Frames Die Set to layer behind the ghosts. She used black cardstock for the stitched oval and a piece of patterend paper for the scalloped oval. For the background she cut out two more patterend papers, chosing orange and gray papers with bats on them. The patterned papers are from our Halloween Meows and Halloween Woofs Paper Pads. 

For the Happy Halloween message she used a stamp from our Halloween Apothecary Stamp Set, layering it over the big oval. 

We love the fun mix of patterns on this Halloween card! What a great way to send a spooky greeting!

Autumn Shaker Card by Farhana Sarker

Autumn Reads for Fall!

Today Farhana has created a lovely fall shaker that is perfect for sending to a book lover. This card features our Autumn Reads Stamp Set and Falling Leaves Stencil.

To create the shaker she first stenciled a background panel using our Falling Leaves Stencil. She stamped the sentiment "Autumn leaves & cozy reads" from the Autumn Reads Stamp Set in the center of the stenciled panel. She then cut a circle out of the white card front Circle Frames Die Set. She layered the stenciled panel so that it showed through the circle window with the sentiment in the center. She layered the pieces together, creating her shaker window and adding some confetti inside.

For the images she stamped the corner of leaves and the stack of books from our Autumn Reads Stamp Set. She colored the images in fall colors using alcohol markers and then cut them out using the coordinating Autumn Reads Die Set. She added the images to her card, placing one on each side of the circle cut out. 

This beautiful card is sure to make a book lover smile. We hope this card has inspired you to begin your fall crafting!

Shell-ebrate Card by Donna Idlet

Shell-ebrate!

As summer is nearing the end we thought it would be fun to sneak in one more summer card! This card by  Donna features the adorable Newton's Sand Dollar Stamp Set along with our Seaside Paper Pad and Fractured Card Layout Die Set.

For this card Donna cut out the shapes using the Fractured Card Layout Die Set twice. She cut it out once using the gray seashell paper from the Seaside Paper Pad and once from a piece of light gray cardstock. To get the second shade of darker gray on the center piece she ink blended it over it with gray ink.  

She stamped and colored the images of Newton and the seashells from the Newton's Sand Dollar Stamp Set. She used neutral colors for the seashells and orange for Newton to add a fun pop of color! She cut the image out using the coordinating Newton's Sand Dollar Die Set and added him to her card. 

Last, she cut out a black stitched banner using our Banner Duo Die Set and stamped the "Shell-ebrate" message using a stamp from our Seashell Roundabout Stamp Set. This sentiment goes perfectly with the seaside images! 

We hope you enjoyed this fun summer card! To see more beautiful creations by Donna, you can visit her blog, Creative Lady!

Happy Halloween! Partial Shaker Card by Amanda Wilcox

Happy Halloween!

Are you ready for Halloween crafting? Today we are sharing an awesome Halloween themed card by Amanda that might just get you inspired to start your crafting for the spooky season!

For this card Amanda features our Spooky Stories Stamp Set and A2 Card Layout 2 Die Set.

She cut out the design from the A2 Card Layout 2 Die Set twice, once from black and once from white. She used the black for the frame and then ink blended over all the white stitched pieces to using fun halloween themed colors. She stamped the sentiment images from the Spooky Stories Stamp Set directly onto the lower left corner piece and then stamped the other images onto  a separate piece of white cardstock and die cut them using the coordinating Spooky Stories Die Set. She layered the die cut images over the other ink blended pieces. 

She assembled the card together using dimensional adhesive, leaving the orange piece with the sentiment lower than the rest of the frame and added acetate and sequins to make a little shaker in the corner! What a fun idea!

Birthday Card with Free Balloon Die by Jennifer Jackson

Happy Birthday!

Hello! Jen here today to share a quick and simple birthday card using some of our newest products! Plus, this card features the cute Mini Balloon Die that you can get free with any purchase in our shop (while supplies last). 

To start out creating this card I looked through our Birthday Time Paper Pad and chose couple of patterns to use. I used our new Card Layout 4 Die and cut it out 4 times, twice using the patterned papers, once using a white cardstock and once using a pink cardstock. I then chose which pieces to put where and assembled it onto a light blue card base. 

I added the sentiment using our Happy Birthday Die Set. I cut the words from white paper and the shadow layer from a slightly darker pink than the frame.

Next, I cut out three balloons using the Mini Balloon Die using cardstock colors that matched the patterned paper. 

To finish I adhered Happy Birthday Sentiment and the balloons to my card. This was such a quick and easy birthday card to create! The die cuts and papers make it a breeze! 

I hope you enjoyed this project today! And don't forget, you can get that  Mini Balloon Die for free with any purchase right now in our shop (while supplies last)!
