Vam-purr Card by Zsofia Molnar

Trick or Treat!

Today we are sharing a fun "vam-purr" kitty card by Zsofia that perfect for celebrating Halloween!  For this fun card she used the cute image of Newton dressed as a vampire for Halloween from our new Count Newton Stamp Set. She Colored the kitty along with his pumpkin treat bucket and some gravestones. The images were cut out using the coordinating Count Newton Die Set. 

To create her scene, she cut out a couple of panels using our Frames & Flags Die Set. For the large scallop edged panel she used patterned paper. For the smaller rounded edge rectangle she used white cardstock and then added ink blending over it to create a fun blue sky! She added some black paint splatters to the sky and some sparkly stars using our Cascading Stars Stencil.  She also added a couple of bats from the Count Newton Stamp Set and the die cute sentiment "trick or treat" from our Halloween Trio Die Set. To finish the scene she created a gray hill for the kitty to sit on along the bottom using our Land Borders Die Set. 

This fun Halloween card is both cute and spooky!

Best Witches Card by Larissa Heskett

Best Witches! 

Today we are sharing an incredible card by Larissa that is sure to put you in the mood for some Halloween treats! 

For her focal image, she used the kitten in a jack-o-lantern from our Trick or Treat Kittens Stamp Set. She colored this image with gorgeous bright colors and added white gel pen details. She also colored some extra little candy images to cluster around it. The images were cut out using the coordinating Trick or Treat Kittens Die Set. 

Next, she created a fun starry background using our Cascading Stars Stencil onto a circle that was cut out using our Circle Frames Die Set. She also added the "Best Witches" sentiment from our new Brooms & Boos Stamp Set in another circle. 

Let's talk about that gorgeous background too! She used our Gingham Stencil not once, but twice! She stenciled the pattern once in orange and once in purple, moving it over so that the squares lined up next to each other and the stripes overlapped. So cool! Then she added even more fun by using one of the layers of circles from our two piece Bokeh Stencil Set with a glitter gel over the top! Wow!

What an incredible way to send a Happy Halloween wish!

1st Grade Card by Tatiana Trafimovich

Ready for 1st Grade!

Today we have a wonderful school themed card by Tatiana. She created this card to send to a family member who is starting first grade this year! What a wonderful way to celebrate such a fun milestone!

She began by creating a chalkboard by cutting a square with our Frames Squared Die Set from black cardstock and adding white ink smudges over it to look like chalk. Over this she added the custom sentiment "1st grade 2021" by cutting letters and numbers out using our Essential Alphabet Die Set. 

To add to the school theme, she used the image of Newton with the globe from our Newton’s Graduation Stamp Set . She also added books and an apple from our Classy Teachers Stamp Set and pencils using a little image from our Newton’s Crafty Cardio Stamp Set! Such a fun way to combine all of these sets! She colored the images in fun primary colors and then added details to the kitty, giving him a fun striped fur pattern! The images were all cut our with the coordinating Newton’s Graduation Die Set, Classy Teachers Die Set, and Newton’s Crafty Cardio Die Set. 

On the gray background panel, she also stamped some of the smaller images from our Classy Teachers Stamp Set to make a soft pattern! 

 

We often celebrate graduations but this fun card today reminds us that starting a new year is a reason to celebrate too!

Fall Pumpkin Card by Samantha VanArnhem

Fall Pumpkins Please!

Today we are getting in the mood for fall with this amazing pumpkin card by Samantha! For this design she filled the card with awesome little pumpkins and leaves that were die cut using our Fall Friends Die Set. This die set coordinates with our Fall Friends Stamp Set, but it also includes an awesome bonus stitched leaf and two different pumpkins, which are showcased here today! She cut these fun elements out of purple, orange, green, gray and rust colored cardstock and then added dimension by coloring their stems and adding colored accented to the stitched areas with copics! 

Once all these pieces were created, she adhered them to a white card front with dimensional adhesive. She also stamped a few little swirls and the sentiment from the Signs of Fall Stamp Set to add to the fall fun! 

Isn't it awesome what you can create using these bonus die pieces? This Fall card is so much fun and easy to create! 

Happy Paw-tumn Card by Farhana Sarker

Autumn Kitty Card

Today we are sharing a fun autumn card by Farhana. She combined our brand new Heartfelt Fall Stamp Set with the sweet Paw-tumn Newton Stamp Set for a fall greeting that is sure to make you smile! 

She started our by coloring the kitty peeking around the milk jug of sunflowers from the Paw-tumn Newton Stamp Set. She cut the image out with the coordinating Paw-tumn Newton Die Set to add it to her card. For the card base, she stamped the big heart filled with leaves from our new Heartfelt Fall Stamp Set  with brown ink onto a kraft colored card panel. Then she added the "Happy paw-tumn" sentiment from the Paw-tumn Newton Stamp Set, embossed in gold over the top! 

A trio of colored paper stripes really adds a fun pop of color too! 

We hope you enjoyed this wonderful Autumn greeting today! You can find more of Farhana's creations and say hello to her over at her blog, Everyday Engineered.
