Bountiful Autumn & Turkey Day Thanksgiving Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some fall cards featuring our Bountiful Autumn Stamps and Turkey Day Stamps.

For my first card today, I created a mini slimline card measuring 3-1/2" wide x 6-3/8" high using the stitched mat die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies. I was able to shorten the length by running it through my die-cutting machine a second time. Since we don't have any patterned papers that exceed 6" wide, I decided to use the repeating polka-dot border from the Background Basics 2 Stamps (pictured above) with Gina K Sweet Mango Ink. I love how these can be used to stamp a card background of almost any size. To frame my two mini scenes, I cut two circles from white cardstock using the Stitched Circle Large Dies and then grounded the scenes with pennants from the Notebook Photo Corners Dies, which I had also shortened a bit by running them through my die-cutting machine a second time. I embellished my small scenes using the turkeys, cornucopia, vegetables, and pie from the Bountiful Autumn Stamps and then heat-embossed the greetings from the Turkey Day Stamps.

 

For my second card, I created a larger slimline card sized 8-1/2" wide x 4" high. Because once again, a single sheet of 6x6 Sweater Weather Paper wouldn't adequately cover my full background, I decided to die-cut several different colors into 5/8" wide stitched strips using the smallest pennant die from the Slimline Pennant Dies set. I then found the center of the card (cutting 14 strips in total) and positioned the green and teal strips on either side of the center line, working out towards both ends until my entire card front was covered with a striped print. At that point, it was super easy to use my paper trimmer to trim off any excess overhang, which is always so satisfying!

To create the look of three polaroid photos, I used the smallest rectangle in the Stitched Rectangle Dies, shortening them again with a second pass through the die-cutting machine, at the same time as positioning a 2" square die from the Stitched Square Dies to form an opening for each little "picture." I added some 1/8" scor-tape around the perimeter, behind each polaroid, and backed the window openings with a teal vine print from the same Sweater Weather Paper pack. I decorated each picture using all the darling images from our Turkey Day Stamps and heat embossed the curved greeting from the set onto a Brilliant Banner 1 Die.

That wraps up my projects for today. Don't forget to check out the Bountiful Autumn Stamps, Bountiful Autumn Dies, and Sweater Weather Paper in our online shop, which are all currently on sale!

Bountiful Autumn Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm very happy to be back with this new autumn themed card showcasing the lovely Bountiful Autumn stamp set. I've had this set in my stash for years but for some reason I never used it, so it was finally time to fix that.

As very often I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and then I colored everything using my alcohol markers. And it almost never happens: I only used images from Bountiful Autumn on this card!

When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and next I created the background. I cut a rounded panel out of a leafy green paper from the Sweater Weather paper pack using the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die, mixed some peeled paint distress ink with water and added green splatters all over my panel, and then I did the same with copic opaque white ink.

Next I used the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die again to cut a Gingham Jewel Tones turquoise panel, and used the second largest Rounded Rectangle Window die to turn my gingham panel into a frame. I added white splatters to that frame, and once dry, I attached it to my leafy green panel using 1mm foam squares.

I white heat embossed "Thankful" from Bountiful Autumn, stamped "For your kindness" on some light aqua cardstock using another stamp from the same set, cut it with the matching die, attached it below "Thankful" using 1mm foam squares, and then stuck all my cute images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. Finally I attached my rounded panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches light aqua panel using foam tape, and then the whole thing to a white card base. 

And that's it! I hope that you like this sweet and colorful autumn themed card. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Paris Afternoon Card with Kavya

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the blog with another card! This one is inspired by the movie - Ratatouille. It’s set in Paris and the new Paris Afternoon stamp set is just perfect for recreating it! 

I first started off by ink blending an A2 sized cardstock using Dusty Concord and Speckled Egg distress oxide inks. For the land and grass, I used colored cardstock and Slimline Nature Border Dies. 

Then I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Paris Afternoon, Charming City, Summer Sweets (I converted the soda into a wine bottle!), Fast Food Fun, Bountiful Autumn, Blissful Baking and Harvest Mice (I know it’s not rats but still lol) stamp set. 

Arrange all the images on the card base, add a sentiment and you are done! 

I hope you like how this turned out as well. Happy Crafting!

Bear Hugs Cards with Ashley and Mayra

Hello friends! It's Ashley today with a cute little winter card featuring the Bear Hugs set! I've been MIA for a few weeks as I moved into a new house, and it feels so good to create again! These little cuties were the perfect thing to get me back in the groove!

I started by cutting a piece of white cardstock to 3.75" square. I thought a square card would be perfect to frame the bears. I used the birch trees stamp from Bear Hugs with Lawn Fawn Jellyfish ink to create a subtle wooded background. I blended Distress Inks in Tumbled Glass and Broken China in from the outside to add some color, then stamped the Frosty Flurries stamp in Versamark ink and embossed with white for snow. I finished the background with a white snowdrift made from white cardstock and a Slimline Nature Borders die.

I stamped my bear pair on more white cardstock with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink and colored with Copics. I was so excited to finish up and take photos, that I completely forgot my usual white gel pen highlights! I think they look just as adorable without, but I might have to add them in later. I cut the bears out with the matching die and added them to the card with foam tape. I stamped part of the sentiment from Bear Hugs in Jet Black, then made the rest of the sentiment from the "hugs" die in the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 dies. I die cut the hugs from light blue cardstock twice and light blue glitter cardstock once to create a pretty dimensional word. I added it to my card then put the whole thing on a light grey 4"x4" base to finish.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

----------------------------------------------

Hello and happy Monday everyone. Mayra here, to share this fun card with you today using the cute new Bear Hugs stamp set.   

I began by coloring the bears from the set, the trees, the leaves from the Fall Kiddos and Bountiful Autumn stamp sets, and the mushroom from the Home Sweet Gnome stamp set. I used Copic markers to color the images. For the brown areas, I used W1, E81, E41, E40, E31, E55, E84, E87, and E89. 

Next, I used the larger of the rectangles from the Stitched Rectangles die set to die cut the base panel, and the top layer for the card using the Gingham Jewel Tone 6 x 6 paper pad. I also used the banner from the set for the sentiment. I added color to the base panel using Distress Oxide inks. I used Prize Ribbon, Blueprint Sketch, and Chipped Sapphire. 

I then used the Stitched Circle Small dies to die cut the circle into the top layer of the card base. I also used the same circle to die cut the window into the scalloped circle which was die-cut using the Scalloped Circle Mat 1 die set. I then die-cut the grass border using the grass from the Picket Fence die set.

I hope you enjoy the card I created to share with you today. I hope you each have a wonderful and blessed day.
