Fall - Right as Rain

Penny Black Harvest Breeze

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

I stamped and Copic-colored the hedgehog and foliage images using the 30-722 Harvest Breeze set.
I cut the images with the 51-682 Harvest Breeze Cut Out dies.
I cut the stamped sentiment using a die in the 51-007 Tagged set.
I colored Bristol board with a combination of Distress Inks which I cut with a circle die three times.
I added the circles to the card base and added the images with dot adhesive and foam adhesive.

Copic colors – Fur: E53, E55, E57, E59; Body: E30, R20; Acorn: E37, E99

What I like about this card: I especially like the hedgehog images; I’m thrilled that Penny Black is making more coordinating die sets for their images. I’m also drawn to the colors of fall, and it was fun incorporating the colors into the coloring and the ink choices for the circles.

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.

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 September 2020 Small Die of the Month

Hello! Today, I am sharing fall-themed cards created with this month’s Small Die of the Month kit at Spellbinders – “Hello & Thank You.” The kit is named for the word and letter dies included in the kit, which also includes frame and floral element dies.

On my first card, I used the set’s more ornate frame piece with the “thank you” sentiment set against a dry-embossed background.

I dry-embossed the soft-blue background with the Changing Seasons folder.
I die-cut the frame piece (twice), the sentiment, and the flower pieces.
I created the frame, adhered the floral pieces and added the assembly to the dry-embossed background.
I adhered the sentiment in the center and small flowers around the frame, to which I added centers created with a hole punch.
I added the panel to a white cardstock mat which I adhered to a patterned-paper card base.

My second card uses the HELLO sentiment with the kit’s other frame set against a stenciled background.

To create the background, I stenciled the Four Layer Leaves Stencil with metallic inks and a deep orange ink.
I die-cut the frame from copper foil. I cut four pieces to make two frames. I die-cut the sentiment from cardstock colored with the same orange ink used on the background. I die-cut flowers from the orange cardstock and leaves from matte silver cardstock .
I traced a diamond shape on vellum and cut it with scissors.
I glued two of the frame pieces together and glued the vellum diamond to the back. I glued the second assembled frame at a slight rotation.
I glued the frame assembly to the stencil panel and glued the sentiment across the middle.
I added the flowers and leaves.
The assembled panel was added to a brown cardstock mat adhered to a matte silver card base.
