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!

Turkey Day Card with Tina

Hello crafters, Tina here and I just can’t get over how cute these sweeties from the Turkey Day stamp and die set are! Their size is also the perfect match for the frames cut by the Wonky Window die.

After creating a side folding white card base, I cut a panel from white card stock with the outer die of the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace set. Next, I came in with the Wonky Window die and set the three little window pieces aside for later.

For a real cozy fall look, I added a plaid design to the background piece by using the Diagonal Stripes stencil in two directions (the blue ink was from my stash). I love how quick and easy this pattern was achieved and I think it is perfect for that autumnal vibe!

Next, I pulled out the Turkey Day stamp set and selected three cuties, some pumpkins and an extra pie. I enjoyed coloring these images in bright tones of purple, brown, orange and a bit of blue. This color palette stands out nicely against the blue plaid. I used a white gel pen for accents and a black gel pen for the eyes of the birds.

To assemble the card I adhered the background piece to the card base and added the three white panels. Then I played around with the placement of the images and popped them up with foam tape.

The sentiment was taken from the same Turkey Day stamp set and I used a matching purple ink from my stash. I always add a little bling to my cards and today I went with the Orange Topaz Jewels which are perfect for fall cards.

Do you love making autumn cards as much as I do? I hope you got inspired and have fun creating! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Frilly Frame Polka Dot Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back with this magical birthday card featuring cute fairies and chicky peacocks. I've had this idea of turning the turkeys from Turkey Day into peacocks since the set was released, so I'm very happy to finally be sharing this bright and colorful card with you.

I started off by stamping all the images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers in yellow, green and aqua, which is my favorite color combination at the moment.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Turkey Day - peacocks • Tulip Path Background - butterflies • Garden Fairy - fairies, flowers • Garden Critters - grass.

Next I worked on the background and started by cutting two 4,5 x 3,25 inches panels out of aqua cardstock using the second largest Stitched Rectangle die. On the first aqua panel, I used the polka dot die from the Frilly Frame Polka Dot die set to cut a million circles out of it, and then I attached that panel to the second aqua panel using liquid glue. Next I cut more tiny circles out of green, yellow and aqua cardstock using the same die, and then filled each circle spot on the aqua panel with my colorful tiny circles. It was quite a tedious task but I think it's totally worth it, I really love the result.

I added some texture to my polka dot panel: I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to splatters all over it, I did the same with fossilized amber distress spritz for a touch of gold, and then the same again with peacock feathers distress spritz to match with the peacocks.

I cut a 5,25 x 4 inches scalloped panel out of shiny turquoise cardstock using the other die from the Frilly Frame Polka Dot die set, and attached my polka dot panel to it using 1mm foam tape. Next I stuck my scalloped panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches aqua panel using 1mm foam tape again, and then the whole thing to a white card base using liquid glue.

For my greeting, I used the Brilliant Banner 1 die set, and cut the different pieces out of cardstock that match with the images. I white heat embossed "Hoping you day is magical" from Garden Fairy on the main piece, assembled the banner using 1mm foam squares, attached it right at the top of my panel, and then stuck all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I added white blizzard nuvo drops to the fairies and butterflies wings to finish my card. 

And that's it! I hope that those cute peacocks have inspired you to create your own colorful birdies. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!
