Happy Paw-tumn! Card by Farhana Sarker

Happy Paw-tumn!

Fall is just around the corner and today we are excited about starting our fall crafting! Today we are featuring a beautiful card by Farhana that is filled with fall fun!

To create this adorable autumn greeting she started by stamping and coloring the image of Newton with the milk jug full of sunflowers from our Paw-tumn Newton Stamp Set. Isn't it cute how the kitty is peeking around the pumpkin to see the bird? She cut the image out using the coordinating Paw-tumn Newton Die Set.

If you like the color palette on her image, here is a reference of the Copic marker colors she used: 

To create the rest of the card she started with a white card base and added two rows of pumpkins using our Jack-o'-Lantern Stencil Set. This fun three piece stencil includes one layer of pumpkin bases, one layer of pumpkin stems and one layer of Jack-o'-Lantern faces. She used the first two layers, leaving off the faces to create an autumn look. She added her colored image along the right side of the card, overlapping the pumpkins. Then she added the sentient from our Paw-tumn Newton Stamp Set below the pumpkins. 

We hope you enjoyed this cozy fall card today and are inspired to get started on your fall crafting!

It's Pasture Birthday Card by Zsofia Molnar

Hay There!

Need a late birthday card? This whimsical farm card by Zsofia is perfect for sending belated wishes!

This sweet card features fun farm themed dies from our collection. She starts by cutting and assembling the pieces from the Barn Die Set and the Tractor Die Set. She added inking to the edges to give the pieces a bit more dimension. The barn die set includes hay that you can add onto the loft of the barn. She adds one piece there and then uses the same die to create piles of hay on her scene. What a great idea to add to the farm scene! She completed the scene by adding a fence that was cut out using our Fence Die Set. 

Here are a couple of close-ups so you can see the details. Isn't that blue tractor so fun? We love the pop of color it adds!

Once the scene was completed she needed to add a message. She chose to create a late birthday card by using the sentiments from the Farmer Newton Stamp Set. The clever messages work flawlessly with the farm scene and are perfect for sending a late birthday wish!

We hope you enjoyed this fun card by Zsofia today! You can find more of Zsofia's creations and say hello to her over at her blog, Safsafdesign.

Ghostly Greetings Card by Donna Idlet

Ghostly Greetings!

Don't be scared! This ghostly Halloween card by Donna is too cute to be spook! 

This card features the cute dog and cat ghosts from our Ghostly Good Times Stamp Set. Donna stamped and embossed the images onto vellum to give them a fun transparency. What a perfect way to add a ghostly effect to the card.  The images were cut out using the coordinating Ghostly Good Times Die Set. 

Behind the ghosts is a spooky scene from one of the pages in our Halloween Time Paper Pad. She cut the paper to fit just inside the zig zag frame from our Frames & Tags Die Set. The finishing touch is the sentiment "Ghostly Greetings" from our Spooky Sentiments Hot Foil Plates. She added hot foil to the sentiment and then cut it out using our Banner Duo Die Set.

Fall-ing for You Card by Amanda Wilcox

FALL-ing for You! 

Fall is just around the corner and we are enjoying the Fall vibes on this beautiful card by Amanda!

This autumnal card features the gorgeous heart filled with leaves from our Heartfelt Fall Stamp Set. Amanda stamped the image using brown ink and then die cut it with our Heart Frames Die Set. In case you didn't know, all of the large heart stamps in our Heart Card Front line will fit into the big scalloped heart from the Heart Frames Die Set!

She colored the image using soft fall colors and added a bit of ink to the edges of the scallops to give it a soft distressed feel. 

For her card she started with a white card base. She then cut out small strips of paper in colors that matched her image along with a pop of teal! So pretty! She added these to her card and layered the heart over them. The sentiment "FALL-ing for you" was embossed in white onto a banner that was die cut with our  Banner Trio Die Set. 

Did you spy the touch of gold on her card? She added bits of gold to the image and some gold splatters across the card background too. Here is a close up so you can see it better:

Peek-a-BOO Scrapbook Layout by Samantha Mann

Peek-a-boo! 

Have you ever tried to incorporate stencils and stamps into your scrapbook layouts? Today we are sharing a beautiful scrapbook page by Samantha that does just that! 

This page by Samantha features a photo of her adorable kitty peeking out through some blankets and it inspired her to create a peek-a-BOO theme featuring ghosts! What a fun play on words! She started by laying out the page and deciding where everything would go. Then she took the white background piece and added some blue ink smears to match the paper and white ghosts flying across the page using texture paste with our Ghosts Stencil. She also stamped the "boo-yah!" sentiment from the Ghostly Good Times Stamp Set right above the kitty photo. 

When she added her photo to the page she framed it with several black and white papers from our Black & White Basics Paper Pad along with some tissue for texture. She added the sentiment across the center using chipboard letter stickers and a cute chipboard kitty. She also added some additional words, stickers and embellishments onto her layout using pieces from her scrapbook product stash. 

Too add to the theme she stamped the cute kitty ghost from our Ghostly Good Times Stamp Set onto a piece of grey polka dotted paper from our Black & White Basics Paper Pad and cut it out using the coordinating Ghostly Good Times Die Set. So cute how it ties in the the sentiment!

We think this page is fab-BOO-lous! How about you?

Stay Spooky Card by Amanda Wilcox

Stay Spooky! 

Today we're getting in the Halloween mood with this cute and spooky card by Amanda featuring some of our favorite Halloween products!

This creative card features our Jack-O'-Lantern Stencil Set and Ghostly Good Times Stamp Set. She started out by creating a that fun background using the Jack-O'-Lantern Stencil Set onto light orange paper.  This stencil set has three layers (one for the pumpkins, one for the scary faces and one for the stems). She stenciled each layer with a different color using the etching on each stencil to align them perfectly. She then cut out the completed background using the zig zag edged die from our Frames & Tags Die Set. She also cut a black frame using the same die set to layer on top. 

Next she stamped the adorable ghost dog and cat from our Ghostly Good Times Stamp Set onto vellum and embossed them in white. The transparency of the vellum really gives them the perfect ghostly look! They were die cut out using the coordinating Ghostly Good Times Die Set. 

Last she adds the "Stay Spooky" sentiment from the Ghostly Good Times Stamp Set. She die cut the tag from our Frames & Tags Die Set and stamped the message in orange onto it. A bit of orange twine and a pumpkin embellishment finish it off perfectly. 

We love the combination of cute and spooky on this card!

A Slice Happy Pizza Card by Larissa Heskett

Pizza Make Newton Happy!

Today Larissa is making us smile with a fun pizza themed card!

To create this playful card she started with by cutting out a background using our Fractured Card Layout Die Set with a black and white grid pattern from our Black & White Basics Paper Pad. This creates a great neutral background that you could use for any image. She uses the same die again, this time with white, to create the frame that sits between the pieces. 

Once the background is assembled, she cuts out a couple of red circles to give a pop of color to her card. Next she stamps the cute image of Newton in a pizza box from our Newton Loves Pizza Stamp Set. Isn't it adorable how it seems he has eaten most of the pizza already? She leaves the image black and white to coordinate with the basic black and white background. The image was then cut out using the coordinating Newton Loves Pizza Die Set and layered over the red circle. She also adds the sentiment "Sending you a Slice of Happy" from our Newton Loves Pizza Stamp Set onto a small white stitched circle that was cut out using our Circle Frames Die Set. 

Doesn't the black, white and red color combo remind you of a classic pizzeria?

Happy Fall Y'all!
