Fall - Right as Rain

CAS Fall Season Card

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS card combining a sentiment from the Four Seasons Sayings stamp set with die-cut sunflowers. There are a number of terrific sentiments in the stamp set. This particular one is not specifically fall, but I felt suited.

I stamped the sentiment with Stampin’ Up Chocolate Chip ink on to patterned paper in my stash. I cut the sunflower from a variety of solid cardstocks – I pulled out all of my greens, yellows, and browns to figure out which ones were the best for depicting sunflowers. Even though fall is just beginning, it seems it is already time to start in on holiday cards!

TE August 2018 Release Day – Fall and Halloween

Hello! Welcome to the Taylored Expressions August 2018 Release! All of the products that we have been sharing this week are now available in the TE store! Before you head off to shop, I have a Halloween-themed card and a fall-themed card to show you.

Both of my projects today showcase newly introduced Caps Lock sets – such an easy way to add an impactful sentiment to a card. On my first card, I used Caps Lock – Boo along with the Bare Trees Background stamp, Tomb Sweet Tomb, and Tombstone Trio to create a CAS Halloween scene.

I stamped the Bare Trees Background on to both Eggplant and Sweet Potato Pie cardstock, cut the letters out of the Sweet Potato Pie and adhered them over the background.

Supplies:

On my second project, I combined the Cutting Edge – Fall set and Cap Locks – Fall for an autumn-themed card.

I stamped the background with the Gunny Sack Background stamp. I added the Cutting Edge – Fall border (which I colored with Copic Markers) and a few individual leaves created with the same set.

I attached the assembly to a Sweet Basil card base.

Taylored Expressions – Talk Turkey

Hello! Today, I am sharing a card showcasing Taylored Expressions products including the Little Bits – Turkey. I just couldn’t resist featuring him on a Thanksgiving card!

To begin, I created the tone-on-tone background with the Autumn Leaves Background stamp. Next, I die-cut and assembled the Little Bits – Turkey. I stamped the Thanksgiving Blessings sentiment on a Sugar Cube cardstock panel on to which I had added the Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink with a Clarity Stencil Brush. I added the die-cut Arbor Fence and Little Bits – Leaves for texture and color.

Vintage Style Halloween

Hello! Today I’m sharing two “vintage” CAS Halloween cards crafted with supplies from several different manufacturers.

For the first card, I used the emboss-resist method on patterned paper in my stash.

I clear heat-embossed the Hero Arts Leaf and Floral background and then applied Distress Oxide Black Soot to the paper. The areas covered by the clear embossing were not colored. It is a great way to change the look of patterned paper.

I stamped a sentiment from Hero Arts Ghostly Greetings on to another piece of patterned paper, which I cut with a circle die and added die-cut bats (from a now retired Memory Box set).

The second card uses a Memory Box wood stamp sentiment with the die-cut Memory Box Meadow Bird and older patterned paper.

While vintage isn’t my “usual” cardmaking style, it’s fun to dabble in it every now and again.
