Elizabeth Craft Designs | Halloween Hay Ride

Hello! Today I am sharing a fall/Halloween card created with a combination of Elizabeth Craft Designs die sets. I am eagerly awaiting the fall- and Halloween-themed releases from the various manufacturers.

I colored Soft Finish Cardstock with a variety of Distress Oxide Inks from which I cut the Hay Ride and witch hat elements as well as the background grassy hill.
I attached the grassy hill to the stamped background panel. The sentiment is from a discontinued Taylored Expressions stamp set.
I glued the pumpkins, leaves, and hat to the hay wagon before adding the wagon to the background with foam adhesive.
To embellish, I added a single pumpkin and leaf to the lower-left corner.

You can see more information about the Elizabeth Craft Designs release that includes the Hay Ride set in this video and this one.

Penny Black Autumn – CAS Pumpkins

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS card created with two Penny Black stamp sets from the Autumn 2021 release.

I stamped the 30-862 Pumpkin and Polka Dots images in a variety of ink colors and fussy-cut them.
I stamped the 30-863 Autumn is Calling sentiment in brown ink on off-white cardstock, which I cut with a stitched rectangle die.
I added the sentiment panel to a dry-embossed, rust-colored cardstock base.
I added the pumpkins to the panel, popping up the front one with foam adhesive.

Penny Black Autumn is Calling

Hello! Today I am sharing two CAS cards of the same design that use the same two Penny Black products from the Autumn 2021 release.

For both, I began by stamping the 40-788 Autumn Majesty image with white pigment ink.

Once the panels were dry, I stamped the same image again with dye inks slightly offset from the white pigment ink image. On one, I used a variety of Distress Ink colors for the acorns and leaves. On the other, I used one dye ink color (to coordinate with the cardstock color).

I stamped the 30-863 Autumn is Calling sentiment in brown ink on off-white cardstock, which I cut with a stitched rectangle die.

Penny Black Halloween Camper

Hello! Today, I am sharing a Halloween-themed card created with Penny Black die sets. The 51-645 Campers die set was released this summer and I used it on a camping-themed card here. I wanted to test-drive it (pun intended) for a different season.
