Autumn Greenery & Pumpkin Patch Fall Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share a couple of cards featuring the beautiful leaf images from the Autumn Greenery Dies.

For my first card showcasing the Autumn Greenery Dies, I die-cut the two oak leaves and acorn from white cardstock and colored them in warm fall hues of distress inks. I paired them with the larger acorn from the Basic Mini Shape 5 Dies and the Tree Branch Die, cut from woodgrain textured cardstock. For the bottom portion of my card, I added a trio of layered pumpkins also cut from white cardstock using our Pumpkin Patch Dies, inking them with Carved Pumpkin, Spice Marmalade & Rusty Hinge distress inks. I mounted them all onto a pierced background using our Dotted Diamond Portrait Die. For my greeting, I used a sentiment from the Bountiful Autumn Stamps, and fussy cut the word "thankful" with my scissors. Lastly, I added highlights and shine to the acorns and pumpkins with a white gel pen.

For my second card using the Autumn Greenery Dies, I used the Maple leaf from the set as filler inside my Wood Barrel to embellish around the two birdhouses from our Build-a-Birdhouse Dies. Again, I started by die-cutting the leaves from white cardstock and inking them with shades of orange, red, and deep maroon to add interest. I thought a pretty teal blue and aqua would offset the red and orange leaves nicely, so I cut my birdhouses and birds from ivory, red, and teal cardstock. I cut the base of my barrel from kraft cardstock and the metal bands from metallic silver cardstock. The Wood Barrell Die was designed to allow you to slip strips of scratch paper between the slats to ink up one side of the slat to add shadows and dimension. Every time I play with them, I fall in love with them all over again!

To frame my little scene, I used the outer zig-zag edge of the Frilly Frames Chevron Dies, layered over a teal diagonal grid print from the Gingham Jewel Tones Paper pack. I completed my card by stamping a greeting from the Little Birdie Stamps onto the Brilliant Banner 3 Dies, which I had cut from a pale aqua color cardstock and then inked up in an ombre from light to dark to match the paper and other elements. This card felt a bit up in the air when I was in the midst of trying to choose a color scheme. However, I am utterly smitten with how all the elements came together in the end. This would be a fun card design to reimagine for all four seasons.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛

Squirrel Friends Card with Amanda

Well hello there, friends! It's Amanda sharing a super sweet Autumn card I made with you today! I love being able to craft and share my creations with you! Keep scrolling to see how I created this card, featuring the Squirrel Friends Stamps, that I'm just NUTS about!

To create this card, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 3.25" x 6.25". I ink blended Catherine Pooler Buttercream and Apricot inks on the lower portion of the panel. I stamped some little leaves from the Squirrel Friends Stamps along the top and middle portion of the panel using the same inks.  

Next, I stamped out my squirrels, nuts and leaves from the Squirrel Friends Stamps. I colored them with Copic markers and then die cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added little white gel pen dots on their eyes to make them look that much more adorable!

Then, I grabbed the Pumpkin Patch Dies. These dies are so versatile, I've used them SO many times!  For this card, I cut each piece of the pumpkins two times. This gives me 6 pumpkins total to play with! I used Copic markers to color each one, making them all unique! I glued each piece of the pumpkin together with liquid glue.  

For my sentiment, I grabbed the Autumn Garland Stamps. I stamped the "GREETINGS" directly onto my card panel in black ink. For the "Autumn" piece, I stamped it with embossing glue ink on black cardstock, applied white embossing powder, and then melted the powder with a heat tool. I die cut it out with the coordinating die and put 3D foam tape behind it.

The next step was to assemble the card! I adhered each component to the card front with either liquid glue (for the background pieces) or 3D foam squares for the foreground elements.

Hope you enjoyed this card and THANK YOU for coming to the Sunny Studio Blog today!

Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die Focused Card with Amanda

Hey there, crafty friends! It's Amanda back with another Halloween card to share with you! Are you ready for Halloween?! It's hard to believe it's so close! Keep scrolling and make this card with me!

For the background, I trimmed 2 pieces of white cardstock to 4"x5.25. I ran both of them through my die cutting machine with the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die. I ink blended the bottom portion of one with Catherine Pooler Midnight Ink, concentrating the most ink on the outside and bottom portions.  

With the other piece, I trimmed off the bottom of it, and then used the Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils to ink blend Catherine Pooler's Sixteen Candles, Pixie Dust, Serenade, and Drive-In inks to create this fun purple background. Again, I concentrated the darker inks on the edges and top of the panel. This gives a vignette effect that really pulls your focus to the center of the card! I splattered white paint on the "ground" panel and black paint on the purple panel. I glued both panels together with liquid glue. Then, I glued them to an A2 card base.

Next, I grabbed the oh-so-versatile Pumpkin Patch Dies and created 3 little pumpkins for my cute Halloween critters. I colored them with Copic markers and added highlights with a white Gelly Roll pen.

Once I had pumpkins all set, I stamped and colored my costumed critters from the Too Cute To Spook Stamps. I had so much fun coloring these little guys with Copic markers! I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I also stamped my Happy Halloween sentiment and used scissors to cut it out.

I adhered all my little elements to my card using 3D foam squares. I also added some fun little sequins and sparkles for some more excitement.

Thanks for stopping by the Sunny Studio Stamps Blog today! Hope you find some time to get crafty this week!
