Fall Themed Card Duo by August Guest Designer Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie Cimbalo here with another guest design post for August.  I'm so honored to be here sharing my creations with you!

I have two fall themed cards using stamps from the Autumn Newton Stamp Set & Beautiful Leaves Stamp Set, along with the Newton's Nook Gingham Stencil, and a few of the bird feathers stamps from the Newton Birthday Flutter Stamp Set, that I used as falling leaves.

Here's a closer look at my first card:


I inked the clouds using the Clouds Stencil with Distress Ink in "Speckled Egg" and a blender brush. Next I added a little light green ink on the bottom for the grassy ground. I stamped and cut the cute Newton images and colored them with a mix of alcohol markers, Zig Clean Color brushes and Prismacolor pencils. I added the image on the right and the one on the left, directly to the card and then popped the middle image up on foam tape for dimension.

The sentiment was heat embossed in white on brown card stock, then cut into a banner and popped up on foam tape in the top left corner. Here's one last look at my Autumn pile of kitties!


Now that is one cute pile of Autumn goodies!

Here's my next project:


For my second card, I used the Gingham Stencil. I only wanted a small portion of the pattern as a backdrop so I took an oval die and cut it with my Gemini Junior, then used the opening as a mask. I used Distress Oxide "Fossilized Amber" and a blender brush to stencil inside the oval, then removed the mask and die cut the white panel with a dotted rectangle die. The two larger leaves at the top are stamped and cut from the Autumn Newton Stamp Set and the small leaves are really feathers from the Newton's Birthday Flutter Stamp Set stamp set, colored to look like small falling leaves.


The image is from Autumn Newton Stamp Set colored with the same markers and pencils as my first card. After I colored the image I added it to the bottom of the plaid oval. I cut a brown mat for the main white top panel, then heat embossed the sentiment in white on the same brown card stock. The sentiment, from the Beautiful Leaves Stamp Set, was cut with another dotted rectangle die and popped up on foam tape.

After gluing the brown panel to the card base, I popped the white panel up on fun foam for dimension. The final step was to add two colors of Nuvo Jewel drops: "Orange Marmalade" and "Limoncello" in various spots on the card.

Here's one last look at my card:


I hope I've inspired you to make some fall cards - it's such a gorgeous time of year and one of my favorite seasons! I had an awesome time creating with these adorable Newton images in fall colors.

I'd like to thank Jennifer and Samantha for inviting me to guest this month.

It's been so much fun to create with Newton's Nook goodies!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
