Reverse Confetti – Give Thanks

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS card created with a Reverse Confetti stamp and coordinating die set called “In All Things” from their most recent release.

I stamped the wreath image and colored it with Copic markers and colored pencils.
I cut the wreath with its coordinating die.
I stamped the sentiment on American Crafts orange peel-texture cardstock.
I trimmed the panel and matted it on a rust card base.
I added the wreath to the card base with foam adhesive and glued clear jewels for textural interest.

Supplies:

Penny Black Hello Pumpkin

Hello and happy fall! Today I am sharing a colorful, fall-themed card created with Penny Black supplies from the new Autumn Extraordinaire release.

I applied Distress Oxide Inks – Crackling Campfire, Carved Pumpkin, Wilted Violet – to Bristol board.
After the Bristol board dried, I white heat-embossed the pumpkin images from the 30-727 Hello Pumpkin set on to the inked board. I cut the images with the coordinating 51-683 Hello Pumpkin Cut Out die.
I cut the stems from inked board with dies in the 51-683 Hello Pumpkin Cut Out set, opting not to heat-emboss the stem images.
I stamped the sentiment with Gathered Twig ink on a panel to which I applied Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink at the bottom.

What I like about this card: I like the autumnal colors and the impact (with minimal effort) that the heat-embossing provides. I also like that the card was created with just one stamp set and its coordinating dies.

Spellbinders Halloween Plaid

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS, Halloween card featuring Spellbinders die sets.

I created the card background with the Kaleidoscope Plaid die set from silver, black, and orange cardstock.
After assembling the plaid pattern, I back the panel with white cardstock. I repeated the process to create four panels.
The panels were added to a black card base.
The sentiment was cut with a die in the Spooky Boo set and the bats with dies in the Witch on Broom set, both from black glitter cardstock.
I added the sentiment and bats to an orange square, set at an angle, which I matted with a black square.

Supplies:

Elizabeth Craft – Halloween Bird

Hello! Today I am sharing a Halloween card created with Elizabeth Craft Design die sets.

I die-cut the Winter Bird from cardstock colored with Distress Inks and assembled it.
I die-cut the branch from the same set.
I die-cut the witch’s hat and bat with dies in the Halloween Accessories set.
I stamped the Taylored Expressions sentiment on to an ink-colored circle.
I added the assembled pieces to patterned paper on which I colored the corners.

Spellbinders Sparkling Christmas

I recently wrote a guest post for the Spellbinders blog in which I shared holiday cards that combine two of my favorite techniques–die-cutting and foiling–using products in the Sparkling Christmas Collection. For all three cards, I used a color scheme of red, green, and gold. With this collection, you’ll create elegant and distinctive holiday cards.
