Sneak Peek: Introducing Fall Friends & Bewitching Stamps

Hello and welcome to day 2 of our 2021 Holiday Peek Week!  Each morning this week I am showcasing cards using our newest fall & winter collections which will begin shipping on August 27th.

Today I am sharing more autumn themed cards using our two newest critter stamp sets!

Card No. 1: Up first is a slimline card using our new Fall Friends Stamps which mix and match with our previously released Beach Buddies Stamps. This set comes with a bunch of fun autumn themed accessories and four new woodland critters. For my card I started by die-cutting my slimline background by elongating our Stitched Rectangle Dies and then stamping the polka-dot print using our Background Basics Stamps. To frame my three mini scenes I turned to our new Scalloped Oval Mat 2 Dies cut from white cardstock and then backed them with the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 Dies cut from green cardstock. I completed my card by stamping a banner from our Banner Basics Stamps onto Classic Sunburst Paper and then heat embossed a sentiment from the Fall Friends set to match the banner's curve.

Card No. 2: For my next card showcasing our new Fall Friends Stamps, I created another slimline card this time with a horizontal orientation, fashioning a tree house from a number of different elements. I started by hand cutting the curves of my tree trunk from some scratch paper which I embossed using our Woodgrain Embossing Folder for a more realistic texture. For my tree foliage I used the cloud border from our Slimline Nature Border Dies and added a door and window from our new Gingerbread House Dies which I will be sharing more of later this week. For the rest of my scene I used the grassy border from those same Slimline Nature Border dies which I inked up blending some Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress inks, before going over the tips with some Mustard Seed Distress ink. The rest of my scene and sentiment were created using our new Fall Friends Set. I just love this little wagon that can be filled with the critters, pumpkins or apples from the set!

Card No. 3: The apples with barrel from from our new Fall Friends Stamps are a perfect match to pair with the tree and apple basket from our Happy Harvest Stamps! For this card I started by cutting a 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" panel from a green diagonal checked print from our Classic Sunburst Paper for my background. I then cut the largest oval from the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies from red cardstock. To save on paper I simultaneously cut the a Scalloped Oval Mat 1 Dies and an oval from the Stitched Oval 2 Dies from white cardstock at the same time by nesting the two together when running my paper through my die-cutting machine, using the outside scalloped portion leftover to fill my openings behind my red scalloped mat. I blended some Tumbled Glass and Twisted Citron together with my favorite Jumbo Dauber to give the general feeling of the sky and grass behind my scene and then stamped my sentiment from the Fall Friends set using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.Sunny Studio Raccoon with Autumn Apple Tree Card (using Fall Friends & Happy Harvest Stamps, Scalloped Oval Mat 1 &3 Dies, Stitched Oval 2 Dies & Classic Sunburst Paper)

Card No. 4: For my next card featuring the Fall Friends Stamps I started by blending my background using Mustard Seed, Wild Honey and Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink before splattering it with water and then blending Vintage Photo and Rusty Hinge inks for my ground on a separate strip of paper. I then added in some birch trees with mini leaves from our Rustic Winter Dies and the outer die from Frilly Frames Herringbone Dies to frame my scene. After filling my scene with all the cute elements from the Fall Friends set, a heat embossed sentiment from our Harvest Mice Stamps completed my card.

Card No. 5:
For my last card with the Fall Friends Stamps, I paired the husky pup and sentiment from the set with the pocket image from our new Christmas Critters Stamps which I will be sharing more of tomorrow. To give my little pocket a home on the larger canvas of this card, I fashioned a pair of overalls, adding the curves on either side of my overalls using the smallest oval from our Stitched Oval 2 Dies and buttons from our Cute As A Button Stamps. For the shirt I used a checked print from our Colorful Autumn Paper, adhering a second layer to the back for the folded collar portion so the same print showed on both sides.

Card No. 6:
Switching gears, I have a few cards to share using our new mini 2x3 Bewitching Stamps for Halloween which includes a kitty cat, cauldron, bubbles, witch's hat and two sentiments. To create my card, I started by inking up my cloud background using the cloud border from our Slimline Nature Border dies which I cut from masking material and inked up using a light mix of Wilted Violet and Seedless Preserves distress inks.

You might recognize this kitty. It's almost identical to the kitty in our Grad Cat Stamps, just minus the grad cap and with the tail facing the opposite direction. For this card I paired the two kitties together, doing my best to blend in the graduation cap by coloring it to match the cat's ears and covering the majority of the cap with the witch's hat from the Bewitching set.  I framed them all using the largest die from the Stitched Semi-Circle Dies and used the thinnest banner from our Slimline Pennant Dies to form a ledge for them to sit on and a place for me to add my sentiment greeting from the Bewitching set. The pennant die only has the "v" cut from one end though so to make them match on both sides, I flipped the die over after running it though my machine, clicked it in place with the previous stitching and ran it through a second time.

Card No. 7: Up next is a low profile pop-up box card I created by combining a number of our dies with a simple scoring board. I started by creating my background by cutting my background piece sized to 4.75" x 4.25" by shortening our Stitched Rectangle Dies. I cut a smaller rectangle to layer over the top using cardstock blended with Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves Distress Ink. I then created the bottom portion of my pop-up card by cutting grass borders from black cardstock using our Slimline Nature Border Dies

This card has been designed to fold to one side so that it can still fit into an A2 sized envelope so to achieve this my largest grassy border was trimmed to be 6.75" wide. It was then scored at .25", 1", 5.75" and 6.5", folding the two .25" wide portions on either end to adhere to the back side of my stitched rectangle base. The smaller middle piece of grass was trimmed to 5.25" and scored at .25" and 5" before tucking it between the back panel and outer grass border and adhering on either side.

To embellish my card I combined the cats and elements from both our new Bewitching Stamps and Scaredy Cat Stamps. It's difficult to see in my photo, but I used a trimmed down piece of acetate to adhere to the back of my cauldron to help my bubbles appear like they are floating mid-air. For my sentiment I heat embossed the second greeting that comes with the Bewitching Stamps.

Card No. 8: I love that the kitty cat that comes with the Bewitching Stamps isn't limited to just Halloween and can be used for everyday purposes too! For this card I lined up three of the kitties on a fence in front of the moon using our Picket Fence Dies and Stitched Circle Large Dies. To create the glow behind my moon, I sponged on Salty Ocean Distress Ink near the center of my card panel and then blended the new Prize Ribbon, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot distress inks (in that order) as I worked towards the darkest outside edges. For my moon I inked it with Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed Distress ink and then splattered on some water to give it some realistic craters and texture. My greeting was created by combining a stamped sentiment from our Meow & Furever Stamps and the word "meow" spelled out using our Loopy Letters Dies. Adding some stars with my Sharpie White Extra Fine Paint Pen was my final finishing touch.
