Birthday Barks Bookmark by Amanda Wilcox

Birthday Bookmark!

Today we are featuring a a fun birthday themed bookmark by Amanda that is perfect for a dog lover!

To create this fun bookmark she used our Bookmark Die Set to cut out the fun bookmark shape. She added a stripe of fun foiled paw prints to the the bookmark using our Paw Prints Hot Foil Plate with silver foil! So fun! 

To decorate the bookmark she used the cute image of pups from the Birthday Barks Stamp Set. This image is sized to fit perfectly on the bookmark! She colored it in fun bright colors using copic markers and cut it out using the coordinating Birthday Barks Die Set to add it to her card. She also stamped the sentiment, "Bark for another Birthday" from the Birthday Barks Stamp Set, cutting it out using a banner shape from our A7 Frames & Banners Die Set and tucked it behind the top of the dog image. 

To add some special personalization to her bookmark, Amanda added the recipients name! She cut  out another bookmark using our Bookmark Die Set. Then she cut out the letters to spell the name using our Essential Alphabet Die Set and adhered them to the bookmark. To make this bookmark shorter she used one of the edge dies from our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set to add the decorative edge to the bookmark. Then she adhered the two bookmarks together with some ribbons! So fun!

We love how this turned out! What a great way to customize a project and make the recipient feel special!

Extra MICE Fall Greetings by Diane Morales

Extra MICE Fall Greetings!

Today we are sharing a fall card by Diane that is extra mice!

She features the image of the sweet mouse playing in fall leaves from our Autumn Mice Stamp Set. She colored this image in lovely fall tones, giving the mouse a gold and yellow scarf! The image was cut out using the coordinating Autumn Mice Die Set to add to her card. She added the mouse onto an oval that was die cut using our Oval Frames Die Set. Then she added the mouse to the oval along with a few more leaves, also from the Autumn Mice Stamp Set, arranged around the mouse. So cute! 

For her card base, she made a slim card measuring 3 ¼ x 6 ¼. Then she added a layer of pretty paper over the top, using a print from our Autumn Paper Pad. The colors of the leaves coordinate perfectly with the colors she used on her mouse image! 

Lastly, she added the sentiment "Hope your Fall is extra mice" stamped from the Autumn Mice Stamp Set. She embossed it in gold onto a hand cut banner. 

We hope this card by Diane has inspired you to create some fall cards! To see more by Diane, you can visit on her blog, 2sisters project. 

 

Apple Baking Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Apple-solutely Wonderful!

Today Ellen has created an adorable apple themed card that is sure to make you smile!

This fun card features our new Autumn Apples Stamp Set, Fall Harvest Stamp Set along with the baking kitty from our Newton's Kitchen Stamp Set and the baking accessories from our Made from Scratch Stamp Set! What a fun combo of images! 

For the card base, she uses our A7 Frames & Banners Die Set to create the frames on the card. Scroll down for a few details from Ellen! 

Here are some tips from Ellen on how she created this adorable card:

• (Left photo above): I started by cutting the card base, folding it and stamped the sentiment with white embossing powder (using a heat tool and Versamark ink)
  
  
• (center photo above): Next I die cut a few elements from the A7 Frames & Banners Die Set. The inside rectangles I die cut twice. Then I colored the first batch in a yellow orange. From the second batch of rectangles I cut them into hills using the Land Borders Die Set.
  
  
•  (right photo above): Next I did color all the illustrations from the Autumn Apples Stamp Set, Fall Harvest Stamp Set, Newton's Kitchen Stamp Set and Made from Scratch Stamp Set with my Copic markers.
  
  COPIC COLOR SWATCH:
  Red: R89, r39, R29, R27, R24
  Light Green: YG67, YG63, G29,
  Green: G09, G07, G05, G03, G02
  Brown: E37, E35, E33, E31
  Dark Brown: E79,E47, E57
  Blue: BG13, BG11, BG10
  White: E43, E41, E40
  Pink: R21, R00
  Yellow: YR16, Y38, Y35

Bright Bold Apple Card by Amanda Wilcox

Apple-solutely Wonderful!

Today we are featuring a tasty apple card by Amanda that will leave you with a craving for a crisp apple!

To create fun card she started with the apple image from our new Autumn Apples Stamp Set. She embossed this image in white three bright cardstock colors with white embossing powder! What a fun way to add bright pops of color to your card without all the work of coloring the images! She cut all the apples out using the coordinating Autumn Apples Die Set. 

For her card, she started with a white card base and then used our Framework Die Set to out out the large postage edged panel from black cardstock. She rubbed a little white ink over the black to soften the look and give it a chalkboard feeling. Then she layered her apples all around the edges. In the center she added the sentiment "Have an apple-solutely Wonderful Day!" from our Autumn Apples Stamp Set. This greeting was stamped onto a white ticket shape, also cut out with our Framework Die Set.

This beautiful creation would be perfect to send as a happy hello in fall or any time of year! You could also use it for a teacher card too!

Fall Themed Cards and a Fond Farewell to Maria Russell

Fall is in the Air!

Today we are sharing two fun fall cards by Maria using some of our brand new Fall products! 

For her first card she features that sweet kitty in the wheelbarrow full of pumpkins from our new Newton's Harvest Time Stamp Set. She colors the image in gorgeous fall neutral tones and adds white gel pen accents. She cut the image out using the coordinating Newton's  Harvest Time Die Set.

For her card, she uses several of the fun prints from our Autumn Paper Pad to create both background strips and to cut out leaves using our Autumn Leaves Die Set. What a fun way to combine the fall shapes and prints together! She layers the papers and leaves behind a scallop edged circle that was cut out using our Circle Frames Die Set. What a fabulous fall creation!

For her second card she features the yummy caramel apples from our Autumn Apples Stamp Set:

She stamped and colored a trio of caramel apples that look good enough to eat! She cut them out using the coordinating Autumn Apples Die Set. For her card she added a tag using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. She adds teal polka dot patterns using our Autumn Paper Pad to frame the top and bottom of the tag. In the center she adds the sentiment "You're the caramel to my apple" from our Autumn Apples Stamp Set. She adds some mustard yellow colored polka dot paper to add a perfect background that ties in with the caramel color on the apples! For this she again uses our Autumn Paper Pad and adds a postage die cut edge using our Framework Die Set. 

What a fabulous color combo for Fall! Who is in the mood for a caramel apple treat now!?
