Fall - Right as Rain

Fall-Themed Die-cut Thanks

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS fall-themed thank you card showcasing the Hello Bluebird Gallery Frame 3 die set. The die set includes two frames and six different fall items. I paired four of the items – acorn (I cut two), two leaves, pumpkin – with the Big Thanks sentiment from Simon Says Stamp.

I cut the items from soft finish cardstock and colored them using sponge applicators with a variety of Distress Inks. I popped the items up with foam adhesive in four of the openings and adhered the Thanks sentiment across the middle with glue adhesive. I used a wood-grain embossing folder on the card base for texture.

Spellbinders October Small Die of the Month Kit

Hello! Wow, it is already October. It is hard to believe how fast this year is going by! Today, I am delighted to be sharing three fall- and Thanksgiving-themed CAS projects created with the October Small Die Of The Month kit from Spellbinders. These cards took very little time to put together!

I grabbed a variety of warm-toned solid cardstocks (rusts, browns, tans), gold foil cardstock, and fall-themed patterned papers and started die-cutting. I backed the die-cut acorn top with solid cardstock in the card above and with gold foil below.

For all three cards, the die-cuts included in the small die kit do the “talking”- I didn’t stamp a thing!

Hello Bluebird – Fall Friends

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS fall-themed card showcasing the Hello Bluebird Fall Friends set (a new-to-me company from which I plan to purchase more supplies!). I stamped the adorable images and colored them with Copic markers and colored pencils.

I cut the images with their companion dies and added them to a background created with Distress Oxide Inks (listed below).

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.
