Congratulations with Cherry Blossoms Card by Samantha Mann

Wedding Wishes Card!
Today we are sharing this pretty congratulations card by Samantha!

This card features:

Arched Frames Die Set

Cherry Blossoms Stamp Set
Cherry Blossoms Die Set
Banner Trio Die Set
Heartfelt Roses Stamp Set
Trailing Leaves Stencil

Today I'm sharing a wedding card I made for a good friend who has a wedding coming up and asked me for a card to share! 
I started by stamping the images from the Cherry Blossoms Stamp Set. I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to watercolor in the images. Once the images dried, I used some white acrylic ink to splatter some white ink on top of it all. Then, that once that was dry, as well, I used the coordinating die set to die cut them out.

For the background of the card, I used a piece of white woodgrain cardstock. I used the new Arched Frames Die Set to die cut out an arch in the middle of the card. Then, I used some white embossing paste and the Trailing Leaves Stencil to add some texture, too.

I arranged the flowers around the arch, then splattered some tiny bits of black ink on top. The sentiment from Heartfelt Roses Stamp Set was heat embossed onto some vellum. Then I used the Banner Trio Die Set to die cut it out! 
I finished off the card by added some clear drops!

Hello Fall Card by Samantha Mann

Hello Fall Card!
Today we are sharing this purr-fect fall card by Samantha!

This card features:

Heartfelt Fall Stamp Set

Autumn Leaves Die Set

Arched Frames Die Set

A7 Frames & Banners Die Set
Cat Builder Die Set

I did a lot of die cutting with this card!
I used two different greys for the kitty from the Cat Builder Die Set. I even added some of the dark greys as accents on one ear two paws and a circle around the eye, too! 
I also added some details with a white gel pen to the ears and collar, too.

I die cut out all of the leaves from colored cardstock using the Autumn Leaves Die Set. I used light pink, bright pink, coral, light yellow and also dark yellow to die cut the leaves. Then I added some ink blending to each of the leaves with coordinating colors of Distress Inks. 

To finish the card, I used the larges arch from the Arched Frames Die Set to to die cut out the frame from some warm grey colored cardstock. The outside frame was popped up with foam tape. Then, once I arranged the leaves around the frame, I splattered them with white acrylic ink. 

The sentiment was heat embossed in white using the Heartfelt Fall Stamp Set onto some dark grey cardstock. Finally, I die cut the sentiment out using the frame from the A7 Frames & Banners Die Set.

Spooky Halloween Card by Amanda Wilcox

Flying Bats Halloween Card

Hey friends! This is Amanda from Twiddler's Nook squeezing in one more bit of Halloween inspiration before we switch gears to other fall fun! I love the new sentiment dies so I made sure to include one of those and you all know I love playing with stencils so that just felt right.

This card features:
Flying Bats Stencil
Halloween Greetings Die Set
Halloween Accessories Die Set
Halloween Postage Sampler Stamp Set

For my sentiment, I die cut the shadow from black cardstock and the words from bright green cardstock. I used a blending brush and inked up the top and bottom of the words so it's got depth and almost glows off the card. I used liquid glue to adhere the layers together.

 With the paste dry, I ink blended black soot distress ink from the top left corner down and out, fading as I went. Then I tore the side of the panel off for more distressing. I glued a strip of black cardstock to the right side of a top folding card base and popped the stenciled panel up with foam tape. I added the sentiment the same way. Then I wrapped twine around the top, tying it in a bow.

While I'm completely smitten with the way the card front turned out, I often like to add inside surprises to such simple cards. So I played with the Halloween Accessories die set and just make a jack-o-lantern with no kitty or puppy and glued it to the bottom corner. I grabbed my Halloween Postage Sampler stamps to add my sentiment and some more bats to the inside for good measure.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
