Sneak Peek: Woodsy Autumn Stamps & Colorful Autumn 6x6 Paper

Hello and welcome to our Fall Sneak Peek Week!  All this week I will be showcasing cards using our new collection for Autumn debuting on Friday, July 12th.

Today I'm sharing a new 4x6 Stamp set called Woodsy Autumn and it coordinating dies, along with a brand new 6x6 Double Sided Patterned Paper collection for fall called Colorful Autumn.

Card No. 1:  For my first card of the day I paired the new Woodsy Autumn stamps with a rainbow stripe from our previously released Surprise Party 6x6 Paper pack.  To ground the cute critters I used our Window Trio Square dies, coloring the openings with a bit of Carved Pumpkin, Mermaid Lagoon & Twisted Citron distress inks to create a glow behind my stamped images.  I then added a decorative zig-zag edge to my panel using our Ric Rac Border dies.  As a final finishing touch, I stamped my sentiment with Versamark ink onto a strip of black cardstock and heat embossed it with white opaque embossing powder.  Love how bright and cheerful it turned out!

Card No.2:  Up next I created a fall Thanksgiving scene using the fox and tree from the new stamp set, paired together with the deer, hedgehog and squirrel from our Critter Campout Stamps.  To turn them into Pilgrims and a Native American, I added the hat and headband from our Woodsy Creature stamps. A tree stump and pumpkins from our Happy Harvest Stamps completed my little scene.  To ground my animals, I used a post-it note to mask off my ground and inked below it with a little Tea Dye distress ink.  I then stamped my sentiment using our Happy Thoughts Stamps.  This was such a fun card to make and I just love how it looks with the new Colorful Autumn Paper!

Card No.3: I love complimentary color schemes and how red, green and white pop together!  For this card I paired the tree, raccoon and sentiment from the new stamps with the raccoon from our Critter Campout Stamps and the apple and apple basket from our Happy Harvest Stamps. This time I chose to stamp my tree directly onto my background and then colored my sky around it, masking off the tree trunk to keep my brown from getting discolored. This is a great alternative if you don't have the matching dies. I then inked up the bottom portion of my circular scene with some Mowed Lawn distress ink, before flicking blades of grass from a number of different colored Copic markers. 

To frame my little scene I used our Fancy Frames Circle dies and then used the long edge of our Fancy Frames Rectangles dies to create a coordinating border. For my card background I used the new tone-on-tone leaf print from the new Colorful Autumn Paper and paired it a red gingham print from the Classic Gingham Paper pack. As a final finishing touch, I embellished my card with three little hearts from our Red & Pink Heart Confetti which I adhered with some liquid Multi Medium Matte.


Card No.4:  This card was created for a local scrapbook store challenge where they provide two small swatches of patterned paper, cardstock, and rhinestones and we must use a little bit of everything in the pack for the challenge. It  was a summer themed challenge so the main paper is a darling fish print paper from Bella Blvd's Splash Zone collection, but I wanted to challenge myself to create something with it for this release so I used the scalloped print on the back with our new little owl from the Woodsy Autumn stamps.

This new little owl looks adorable with the larger owl from our Happy Owl-o-ween Stamps!  To make the larger owl match with his own hat and scarf, I borrowed them from the penguin in our Bundled Up Stamps. I was tickled to discover they fit him perfectly! I just love how the two little owls can look each other in the eyes!  To ground my little owls I used the tree branch from our Woo Hoo Stamps and inked up some clouds from our new Fluffy Clouds Border dies shared yesterday. Once again I turned to our Fancy Frames Circle dies to frame my scene and our new Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Dies for my sentiment (which will be shared more on Thursday).

Card No.5: Up next is another red, green and white card highlighting the darling toadstool house, mushroom pair and hedgehog from the new stamp set. I paired them with another toadstool house and mushroom from our Backyard Bugs Stamps. Don't they look cute together?  I love how they add variety to my mushroom neighborhood!  

For my stitched mat I used a new Frilly Frames die which will be unveiled fully on Friday called Frilly Frames Retro Petals. To ink up my sky and grass, I masked off a smaller rectangle with some Purple Tape and then flicked on some grass with my Copic Markers.  This is a great activity while watching tv. It's sort of therapeutic and it's so fun to see if fill in as you add your different layers of color!  

I finished my card by heat embossing my greeting using a sentiment from the set and then mounted it onto a piece of red polka-dot embossed cardstock using our new Lots of Dots 6x6 Embossing Folder which will be shared more tomorrow.  :) 

Card No.6: For my last card of the day I used the darling little bunny with the umbrella, pairing her with the girl from our Fall Kiddos Stamps.  They were just begging to be used together!  For my background I cut 4 strips of rainbow striped paper from our Rainbow Bright Paper pack and mitered the corners so you can see rainbows on all four sides.

This time I turned to another new stitched scallop frame called Frilly Frames Hexagon Dies and masked off another rectangle with purple tape.  I then inked up my background with stormy sky distress ink, using a post-it note to mask off the ground so that ink could be applied more heavily below.  For my puddle I used an image from our Rain or Shine Stamps which I colored with Copics using a "no line" coloring technique and then repeatedly stamped the rainy background from our Rain Showers Stamps.  

I completed my card with a greeting from our Over The Rainbow Stamps and our Rainbow Word die.  I cut my word using Heidi Swapp extra wide glitter washi tape which had been mounted to a piece of red cardstock for stability. I then cut a couple of additional layers from red cardstock, stacking them and adhering them together with a glue pen.  I love how it gives the look of glittered chipboard. You could also achieve a similar look by using red Stickles glitter glue.

That wraps up today's sneak peeks.  Thank you so much for joining me!  I'd love to give a $25 gift code to one lucky winner using the rafflecopter below.  Make sure to keep checking back all this week for more peeks & prizes for up to five chances to win.
