Hi Friends! It is Dana here today sharing a fun Fall card with you all that uses the Gorgeous Leafy Background die. I am in love with this die, and the possibilities are endless. Let's get started, shall we?
I started my card by die cutting the Leafy Background from white cardstock two times. On my first pass through my die cutting machine I applied as little pressure as possible to try and keep as many pieces (leaves) as I could to stay inside the die. I then added strips of scotch tape to the back of this first die cut to help hold all of the little pieces inside the die. I used my Copic markers to color all of the leaves in fall colors. I didn't worry about staying in the lines because I knew my edges would be covered, you also want to make sure you go over the edges a little so that there is not any white showing. Next, I ran the Leafy Background die through my die cutting machine a second time to get a clean cut.
Next, I used a liquid glue to attach the white Leafy Background die cut over my colored leaves. I love how the leaves look like they are inlaid without having to do all of the work. By adding the tape behind my colored leaves I knew they were not going to fall out when I attached the two die cuts together. Once I had my square finished I cut it in half so I could use it on the top and bottom of my card design.
For my sentiment, I used the Autumn Leaves sentiment set. I stamped my sentiment and the little leaves with VersaMark ink and heat set gold embossing powder onto my cardstock. I then attached my Leafy Background to the top and bottom of my card panel. To finish my card I attached my card panel to a top folding A2 card base and tied some twine under my sentiment.
Thanks for joining me today. I hope I inspired you to try this fun and easy technique.
Enjoy your day!

Hi Crafty Friends,
Candice here reminding you there is still time to participate in this month's blog challenge. Poppystamps blog challenges are fun and so easy to participate. When you link up a project to our challenge you are automatically entered to win a $20 gift certificate to the store. You dont have to have a blog to link your design - you can link to Instagram, Flickr or any other on line gallery. This month's challenge link ends November 28.
For a bit of inspiration with the challenge, I created this cute tag treat holder that can be used at your holiday place setting or gifted to your hostess at Thanksgiving. This treat holder is so easy to make and can be stuffed with candy or a homemade treat.
To make this project, start by die cutting a tag from the largest tag from the double stitched tag frames set in some kraft cardstock. Remember to keep your tag and tag frame together as one piece. Next die cut a strip of leaves from the maple leaf side strips and stencil set from white cardstock. Separate the leaves from the strip by cutting them with your scissors. Next color the leaves with your distress oxide inks in festive berries, carved pumpkin, spiced marmalade, old olive and peeled paint to create the image of fall leaves.
Set your tag and leaves aside, so you have space to create the treat holder. Cut a piece of coordinating kraft cardstock to 5 1/2 inches long by 2 3/4 inches wide. For the sake of my tutorial I am using white cardstock to display the instructions.
Next score your paper on the 5 1/2inch side at 1/4, 1, 4 1/2 and 5. Then on the 2 3/4 inch side, score the paper at 2 1/4.
Next with a pair scissors cut off the two end squares along the score lines. With the two remaining squares, snip only the top portion of the two remaining squares on the score line so that it can be folded inward and attached to the bottom flap.
Next, while your paper is still flat, stamp your sentiment or greeting. I used the sentiment So very Thankful from the Autumn leaves stamp set. On the opposite side of the paper from your stamped image, fold all of your score lines to form an open box shape. Use either a strip of 1/4 inch score tape or 2 strips of 1/8 inch score tap on each of your folded flaps. Assemble the bottom portion of the box together first with the score tape.
Now attach the open box to your tag using the score tape placed along the side flaps. Adhere your colored leaves to your box. Next fill your tag treat holder with candy, homemade baked goods, a gift card or whatever you little heart desires. The recipient will just love this adorable little holder as well as the gift. I filled my treat holder with a few Twix mini candy bars. My absolute favorite!
I hope today's project gave you a bit a of inspiration to participate in this month's challenge. Thanks for joining me today and Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi friends! It's Jeanne here today and I'm sharing a fall card! I just love fall! It's my favorite time of year! I love the cooler temperatures and watching the change of season in my area. I'm like a little kid stomping on crunchy leaves and picking up all my favorites I find while I'm walking the dog.
My card starts with the Leafy Background die. I cut if from white card stock, poked out all the little leaves and then inked it with distress ink. Next I splattered it with water and set it aside to dry. I cut the panel a second time and left all the die cut leaves in place before inking it in shades of yellow and orange. The two panels are adhered over each other and adhered to a 4.5" square card base.
I added a small Double Stitch Circle Frame to the center of the design for a focal point and a Pointed Square Frame to the outer edge to give a finished look to the card. I stamped a sentiment from the Autumn Leaves stamp set and adhered it over the circle with adhesive foam tape. This makes it easy to tuck colorful Stitched Oak Trio leaves underneath.
A few Whittle Squirrels add a whimsical look to the design. It's fun to watch them running around with their own treasures to buy and save for a later day.
I hope you have a great day filled with simple pleasures!

Hi friends! It's Jeanne here today and I want to remind you to play along with our November challenge - Fall Frolic! We're looking for all things Fall - and the first thing that comes to mind for me is colorful leaves. Whenever I'm on a walk with Moriko (my fur baby) I pick up little treasures I find. Sometimes I find a feather or a shiny rock... once I actually found a turtle that seemed lost.. but this time of year you'll find acorns and pretty leaves in my pocket.
I'm inspired by what I see - and while I haven't found any purple, pink or blue leaves on my adventures, I think I would like to! I like to use unexpected colors to add a playful look to my designs.
When you link up a project to our challenge your automatically entered to win a $20 gift certificate to the store. You dont have to have a blog to link your design - you can link to Instagram, Flickr or any other on line gallery. We're also a super sponsor of the Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog hop. If you add a coffee element to your design you can link it to their challenge and ours so you have twice the chance of winning. They have LOTS of sponsors! You have to hurry though because their linky closes on November 8. You can get all the details here!
The Poppystamps challenge on this blog starts on the first of every month and this time our linky closes on November 28.
I started my card by cutting the Leafy Ornament Frame from red card stock. I replaced the side and center panels with yellow/orange card stock pieces. They're all adhered flat onto a 4.5" square card base.
Next I added the Classic Coffee Cup to the center of the frame with adhesive foam tape. The raised mug makes it easy to tuck colorful leaves and berries underneath. To get lots of contrast I chose leaf colors different than the background (die cut frame) colors. A Simple Hello die cut sentiment fits perfectly in the bottom corner of the frame.
What's better than a nice warm cuppa your favorite to warm you when you get home from a long walk on a crisp fall day? It's the simple things that make life great!

Hello Crafty Friends!
We are so happy that you stopped by today! I have a super cute little Halloween scene to share with you. I just fell in love with the Surprise Skeleton, and thought he would look adorable if he were surprised by a few of his spooky friends. Take a look!
Our Surprise Skeleton takes a peek out the window and sees the Whittle Ghost! The Whittle Pumpkins join in on the fun!
To create this card, start with a background panel embossed with your favorite brick wall pattern, then line up the Cottage Window die right in the center.
After the window is cut, then stack up all of your card pieces. I used two different sheets of vellum, one yellow and one a pretty grey diamond pattern. The vellum sheets are glued onto your card base, then the embossed wall piece. Trim the Surprise Skeleton from the circle and add him behind the windows.
Cut out the Whittle Ghost, the Whittle Pumpkins, Winter Berries, and Autumn Leaf Set, and arrange them on your card, creating a fun little Halloween scene.
Even my cat, Omar Kitty, decided to join in on the fun!
Thanks so much for joining us today! Happy Halloween!

Hello! Nadine here today sharing how I created my Autumn card using an inking technique using a mask and several dies and stamps from Poppystamps.

Hi Poppy fans! Today I'm showing you this fall-inspired card loaded with warm, bold colors. It's a walk through a forest this time of year all in a card.
I lightly stamped the Peony Bouquet stamp, and left the stamp in my stamping tool for later use. I then colored it with Copics. After coloring the image, I placed it back in my stamping tool, stamped with embossing ink, sprinkled with gold embossing powder and heat set it.
For the background I used a panel of watercolor cardstock and ink smooshed matching colors of Distress and Distress oxide inks. I also flicked on some drops of water - yes, water - with a paint brush, sprinkled with gold embossing powder and heat set it.
I then die cut a couple of Christmas greens all from green cardstock.
With an ink dauber I inked the edges bringing a little life to the greens.
After fuzzy cutting the bouquet I colored the edge with a dark grey Copic marker to make it stand out more.
I used the same marker to color match my cardstock for the sentiment, which is also gold heat embossed.
I popped up the bouquet and attached the greens under it. Finishing touch was adding red and gold Nuvo drops to all the berries.
Thanks for joining me today. I hope I have inspired you to create your own fall-inspired card. Have a great day!

Hi Friends! It is Dana here today and I am happy to be back sharing a Fall card with all of you.
I started my card by die cutting the Pumpkin Patch Sidekick Frame from moss green cardstock. Isn't this frame Gorgeous? I love all the details!
I then used the coordinating stencil and ink blended Distress Oxide Ink in Spiced Marmalade over the pumpkins. I love how the Sidekick Frames include a stencil, it really adds to the possibilities of the die and makes it super easy to add another color or layer to your frame.
While the Distress Oxide Ink was still tacky I added clear embossing powder to the pumpkins. I then heat set the clear embossing powder. This gives the pumpkins a little extra shine and added detail. Although it is hard to photograph the shine on the pumpkins, this extra step is really worth it in my opinion.
Next, I began creating my background (night sky). I used Distress Oxide Ink in Faded Jeans and Seedless Preserves and Distress Ink in Black Soot. I used a blending sponge and ink blend the colors onto Bristol smooth cardstock. Once I was finished I spritzed my background with water and let it dry.
I decided I wanted my frames to be kraft on my final card design. So I die cut the Pumpkin Patch Sidekick Frame from kraft cardstock. I then trimmed away all of the pumpkins and vines. Next, I laid the kraft frame over the moss green die cut and attached the two frames with a little liquid glue to my ink blended background.
To finish my card I stamped my sentiment from the Pumpkin Patch Stamp Set onto my rectangle. I ink blended a little Orange Marmalade ink around the edges and inlaid it back into my frame to finish my card.
I hope you enjoyed my card today!
Have a Wonderful week and I will be back soon to share another project with you all.
