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 Christmas Foiled Basics

Hello! I recently shared three winter holiday cards on the Spellbinders Blog created with the Christmas Foiled Basics Collection by Yana Smakula.

I tried many different color combinations of Glimmer foil and cardstock. With more Glimmer foil experience under my belt, I was willing to foil several times on the same cardstock with different foil colors. At the same time, I took advantage of the collection’s companion dies to add foiled sentiments and elements without stress.

I hope you’ll head over to the post for additional details and to leave a comment!

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.

Penny Black Halloween Gate

Hello! Today I am sharing a Halloween card created with Penny Black die sets, including several from the new Autumn Extraordinaire release.

I die-cut the 51-656 Halloween Gate from black cardstock (it’s a coated cardstock I got from Stampin’ Up several years ago).
I die-cut the 51-463 Winter Trees tree from black cardstock. I die-cut the bird (in the same set) from orange cardstock.
I die-cut the 51-654 Carved Cuties from orange and black cardstock (stems) and backed the openings with black cardstock.
I die-cut the smaller pumpkins with the 51-360 Pumpkins & Leaves set.
I die-cut the yellow moon with a circle die.
I created the card background with patterned paper and adhered the die-cut elements.
