Happy Fall Y'All!

Hello again!

Today I'd like to share a card I recently made for Kat Scrappiness as one of the members of the Creative Crew Team.

Kat Scrappiness recently had a wonderful product release featuring several great products that should be staples in your collection.  You can find all of the products here at www.katscrappiness.com.

One of the new products released was the Kat Essential Card Builder Dies 3 (there's also #1, and #2).

This die is very versatile. You can use it as a shaker card with four individual shaker squares, stamp cute animal images peeking out from the edges, create beautiful scenes in each "window", inlay pattern paper into each square, or tuck in die cuts as I did in this card here:


After ink blending the back ground with a yellow, a lighter orange, and a burnt red shade, I die cut the Kats Essential Card Builder Die #3 with white cardstock and set both aside.

I then die cut the branches of leaves using Stitched Foliage Dies and Autumn Glitter 6x6 Double Sided Premium Cardstock as well as some with vellum paper.  A helpful hint regarding the Stitched Foliage Dies.  If you keep the dies together (meaning do not snip each die apart), it's easy to make a bunch of them and keep them with the die set of ones you didn't use for future use.  It's definitely a time saver.

I stamped and die cut the pumpkin from the Happy Fall Y'All Stamp Set and also used the sentiment from the same stamp set to stamp onto one of the Stitched Speech Bubbles Craft Dies (which is also part of the new release).  I also added some foam tape behind the speech bubble so it would pop off the card.

I tucked in the branches under the builder die until I liked how they were positioned and then glued them together, under and over the builder die. I then adhered the branch/builder die directly onto the inked card panel and then added the speech bubble sentiment.

This was fairly easy to put together and easily changeable by using different cardstock or inking a different background.

Products used:

  • Happy Fall Y'All Stamp Set
  • Stitched Speech Bubbles Craft Dies
  • Kats Essential Card Builder Dies 3
  • Stitched Foliage Dies
  • Autumn Glitter 6x6 Double Sided Premium Cardstock
Thank you for stopping by!

In The Mood For Color

Hello again crafty friend! Today's card stems from the class called "In The Mood for Color" with Stephanie Klauck as part of Altenew's Educator Certification Program.  She suggested that we focus on the mood of a color instead of the stamp or die cut.  She explained that each color represents different moods and how that interprets onto the card. Looking at the colors and moods, I decided to use a color that I don't usually work with, orange.  Orange symbolizes health, happiness and courage.  I also wanted to use a stamp and die set that I haven't used yet either, Build A Flower Snapdragon.  Snapdragons are a great source for pollinators such as bees and have been around since the Roman era.  Orange snapdragon's represent desire, fascination, enthusiasm, positive energy, warmth, cheerfulness, success and passion.  I hope that some of these moods are expressed in today's card. Here is the card I will be discussing below: This stamp set has layering stam...

Team Apple Pie or Team Pumpkin Pie?

Happy Thanksgiving! Holidays are quickly approaching and I'm beginning to prepare cards for the holidays and planning the menus. I love celebrating Thanksgiving.  It really kicks in the holiday season.  Gathering around with family and friends for some yummy food, laughing, and planning Christmas events is something I look forward to every year. So the question is - are you team apple pie or pumpkin pie for the dessert table?  To be honest, I really don't care for apple pie but I enjoy eating the crust 😊 so I'm team pumpkin pie all the way!  Although, a pecan pie sometimes makes an appearance 😉 For this yummy looking Thanksgiving card, I decided to include both so everyone gets a piece! Using Kat Scrappiness's Perfect Pie Maker Dies and Perfect Pie Maker Add On dies, I made three pumpkin and one apple pie.  I die cut the crust pieces onto kraft colored cardstock and ink blended a dark cocoa color to add some toastiness to the crust.  I die cut the pumpkin...

Color Your Day!

Hello there! Time has gone by since my last creative card post.  Life's been busy the past month or so, but it will be quiet again in a couple weeks - yeah!  I can get back to my crafting journey! For my next class for Altenew's Educator Certification Program, I chose Color Your Day by Therese Calvird.  The cards she made for this class were so beautiful and she gave many examples on how to find color inspiration such as an item around your home or from your own clothes! But, since I'm pretty boring and basic when it comes to color (😀), I chose to use the color wheel for my color inspiration.  I used three colors that were alongside each other called analogous in technical terms.  On the color wheel, green, blue-green, and blue are analogous.  Using that as my guide, I decided to use Eastern Sky, Pool, and Sweet Leaf from Altenew's Fresh Dye Inks. I ended up making two cards, but one will be my main focus and the other card is used as another example at th...
