Batty For You
There's a bit of a chill in the air and the stores are loading up shelves with tasty treats...that can only mean Halloween is right around the corner! Whether for the upcoming holiday or to tell someone they are pretty special to you, Lawn Fawn's Batty For You is a darling set to use!
Here is how I created my card:
4) Taking watered-down black paint and Tim Holtz Splatter Brush, I added splatters to the card.
5) Removing the diecut circle, I then blended Distress Oxide Hickory Smoke ink using Tim Holtz Bubble Layered Stencil in a few places on the white, unblended circle.
8) Using the star dies in the die set, I cut shiny silver cardstock and randomly adhered the stars to the card.

Happy Fall Y'all
Hey, Crafty Friends - are you excited that Fall is right around the corner! Kathy here sharing my last card as a Gerda Steiner Designs Guest Designer - it's been SO much fun and am so grateful to have had this opportunity to highlight some fabulous goodies from Gerda Steiner Designs!!
For my card, I first layered dark brown cardstock to the card base. I then layered several different fall-themed pattern papers to the dark brown cardstock base. Using a pierced circle die, I cut orange cardstock for a backdrop to the copic colored images.
This darling squirrel and branches/leaves images from the HAPPY FALL stamp set were Copic colored and fussy cut then popped up onto the card. The sentiment, also from this set, was stamped onto yellow cardstock and cut with a mini banner die then popped up onto the card.

I'm Nuts About You
Who's ready for fall?! Kathy here sharing one of my first fall cards featuring the ADORABLE new, NUTS ABOUT YOU stamp set!
While summer is one of my favorite seasons, I'm looking forward to cooler weather and getting out my light sweaters. Not to mention, I love fall colors!
For my card, I layered dark brown cardstock onto the card base. I took strips of four different fall pattern papers and glued them together. I then took orange cardstock, die cut a circle opening and then adhered the strips of pattern paper behind the opening before adhering the entire orange cardstock piece to the dark brown cardstock.
Is this little guy the cutest or what?! Our little squirrel friend, acorns and sentiment are from the new NUTS ABOUT YOU stamp set. The images were copic colored, fussy cut and popped up onto the card. The sentiment was gold heat embossed onto a strip of brown cardstock then placed in the center of the die cut circle opening; tucking in the ends. To finish, I added yellow glitter enamel dots.

Oopsie Daisy Surprise
How sweet is this little daisy hugging bear?! These darling images and sentiment are from the new Dare 2B Artzy Oopsie Daisy stamp set and coordinating dies. I layered the card base with Groovey Blooms Pattern Paper and placed the bear and daisy image on cardstock layers cut with Rectangle Fancy Framelit dies.
And...surprise!! I love the new Dare 2B Artzy Hide n Seek Card Die! It's very easy to put together and I adore how it makes a fun interactive surprise inside a card! I used the Oopsie Daisy stamp set and coordinating dies and the other side of the Groovey Blooms Pattern Paper and Roll With It Paper Pack.

Pretty Winged Things

Gorgeous! While I LOVE this month's new release, I think this set is one of my favorites! There are so many color combos you can use to make these lovely images come alive...I know I'll be using this set over and over!
For each card, I used patterns from the BEE Kind Paper Pack and cut designs for each background with the Stitched Rectangles Set 1.
I used different shaped dies as the backdrop for the images: Reverse Scallop Square Dies, Reverse Scallop Circle Dies, and Reverse Scallop Rectangle Dies.
To finish, I added some color coordinating enamel dots.

How Are You Doing?
In our busy lives we can’t always find the time to call folks just to see how they are doing. Sending them a pretty card with a handwritten note is the next best thing!
1. For my card, layered blue cardstock to the card base then embossed white cardstock with Altenew Organic Linen Embossing Folder that I brushed the edges with Distress Oxide Ink – Antique Linen.
2. This lovely floral wreath and flowers are from the new Altenew Sentimental Florals Stamp set and coordinating dies. There are extra flowers and leaves in the set which I used a few to tuck into the wreath and put at the bottom. I did put the wreath on a slant - just liked it that way! It was very relaxing to Copic color all these pretty images.
5. To finish, I gold embossed a sentiment from the same stamp set with Lawn Fawn’s Gold Embossing Powder.
Supplies Used:
Altenew Sentimental Florals Stamp set and coordinating dies
Altenew Organic Linen Embossing Folder
Distress Oxide Ink – Antique Linen
Lawn Fawn’s Gold Embossing Powder
COPIC Sketch Markers:
