Spellbinders | Yay for Autumn

Hello! Today, I am sharing another fall-/Halloween-themed card featuring the Spellbinders September Large Die of the Month set – “Boo-licious Fall Cupcake.” I previously shared a card created with this die set HERE. For this take, I created a background of pumpkins, gourds, leaves, and acorns, cut with dies in the set, and a focal image of a ghost in a witch’s hat.

Dry-emboss a 5″ x 7″ Snowdrift cardstock panel with the It’s My Party Too folder and add to a card base.
With the Large Die of the Month set, cut the pumpkins, gourds, leaves, and acorns from Teal Topaz, Rainforest, Purple Mist, Royal Amethyst, and Persimmon cardstock. Assemble as necessary and add to card base with foam adhesive.
Cut the ghost, witch’s hat, band, and sign from Snowdrift, Onyx, and Rainforest cardstock. Assemble and add to an oval cut with a die in the Essential Stylish Ovals set from vellum. Add foam adhesive to back of assembly and adhere to card front.
Embellish with white dots in the Dimensional Black & White Enamel Dots set.

Spellbinders | Deco Holiday Embossing

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS, holiday card showcasing the Spellbinders Deco Holiday embossing folder, used to dry-emboss a pattern of squares and paired with a glimmer-foiled sentiment.

Using the 1″ die in the Everlasting Squares set, I cut twenty cardstock squares of purple, teals, and blues. I arranged the squares and taped them together on the back before dry embossing with the Deco Holiday folder. I added the panel to a Snowdrift cardstock base measuring 4 1/4″ x 5 1/4″.
Using one of the sentiments in the Christmas Mailbox Greetings set, I glimmer foiled Snowdrift cardstock in silver. I cut the sentiment with the 2″ die in the Everlasting Circles set and attached it to a circle cut from vellum with the 2 1/4″ die.
I attached the sentiment circle to the card center with foam adhesive and embellished with snowflakes cut with the Holiday Decorations set from white foam glitter.

Sunny Studio Stamps | Pick of the Patch

Hello! I have crafted a picturesque fall scene with die-cut pumpkins using supplies from Sunny Studio Stamps. For more information on scene building, you can check out this post, when I discuss how to start a scene building collection with Sunny Studio Stamps products.

The background, measuring 4 1/4″ square, boasts subtle texture thanks to dry embossing with the Buffalo Plaid folder. The background was added to a 4 1/2″ square card base, covered with white canvas cardstock.

I colored Soft Finish cardstock with a variety of inks from which to cut the pumpkins, sun, and grass. The Pumpkin Patch set includes dies with which to cut layered pumpkins and jack o’lantern faces. The grass die is included in the Picket Fence Border set. The fence was cut from white cardstock, as were the clouds. I created the sentiment “Pick of the Patch” on my computer and cut it with the larger cloud die.

Spellbinders | You’re on My Mice List

Hello! Today, I am sharing a whimsical Christmas card featuring a charming mouse dressed in hot pink and white winter clothing, complete with a present in her hands. The background showcases an art deco-inspired dry-embossed pattern, adding a touch of timeless sophistication to the design. The Spellbinders Dancin’ & Giftin’ Mouse set is part of the Dancin’ Christmas Collection, which includes four die sets (mouse, penguin, gingerbread people, and figgy pudding), an embossing folder, and a sentiment stamp set. Read on to discover how to create the card.

With the Dancin’ & Giftin’ Mouse set, cut body and attire from cardstock. The scarf, boots, and sweater were cut from Crushed Velvet cardstock by Doodlebug Design. Assemble.
With the Dancin’ & Giftin’ Mouse set, cut gift and bow from Lagoon cardstock and hot pink crushed velvet. Assemble.
Partially dry-emboss Purple Mist cardstock with the Deco Holiday embossing folder (part of the Sealed for Christmas Collection). Trim panel as required. With black ink, stamp sentiment, in the Dancin’ Christmas Sentiments set, on to the dry-embossed panel. Add to A2-size card base.
Add assembled mouse with gift to card front. Embellish card with snowflakes cut from white glitter foam with a die in the Holiday Decorations set.

Elizabeth Craft Designs | Scarecrow’s Harvest Delight

Hello! Today, I am sharing a fall-themed card created with Elizabeth Craft Designs supplies. Picture a picturesque pumpkin patch, a scarecrow standing guard, and a cart bursting with pumpkins. It’s a heartwarming scene that captures the essence of autumn, with a heartfelt greeting that simply says, “Hello Fall.”

To begin, color Soft Finish cardstock with Distress Oxide inks of choice.
Die-cut pieces for the Scarecrow and Hay Ride from the ink-colored cardstock. Assemble. To create the mouth on the scarecrow, I cut a piece of vellum with a 1/2-inch circle die. I used the negative portion to draw the mouth using a Permawriter II size 03 pen. (I am writing this specifically so I will remember for next time.)
Dry emboss a Sea Glass A2-size cardstock panel with a folder for subtle texture. (Note: I used the now-retired SU Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions folder. The shim required is the base platform, the folder with the cardstock inside, and one cutting plate.)
Cut ground with die in Adventure Edges 2 from inked cardstock. Cut the fence from Woodgrain cardstock with die in the same set. Add to card base.
Attach cart and scarecrow to card with foam adhesive. Fill cart with leaves and pumpkins.
Stamp Autumn Words sentiment in Icing on the Cake ink on Taylored Expressions Sugar Cube cardstock and cut with the smallest die in the Small Stitched Rectangles set. Attach to card.

I have previously shared a card with the scarecrow HERE. I used the cart in HERE.
