Hello friends. There are still a few more weeks left of Fall and even though I’ve been knee deep in Christmas card making, I wanted to make some more Fall cards. I brought out some Honey Bee Stamps stamps and dies for this one. An easy way to make a dimensional background without having to emboss is to use diecuts.

Hello friends. The next post in my Fall card series features a window card using the coordinating dies from the Catherine Pooler’s Appley Ever After stampset. This was a very easy card to make. To add texture to the background I added an embossed panel behind it (more on this later in the post).

Hello friends. The next post in my Fall Card series features two cards using the same Frame die in two very different ways. And I also stepped up one of the cards by adding a fancy fold inside the card. The first one is a shaker but it turned out to be difficult to see the shaker bits inside because of the word die I used, so really this one ‘doesn’t ‘need to be a shaker; it could easily be a floating sentiment like the second card.
For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and another piece to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I die cut the shadow from the Honey Bee Stamps Large Thanks Dies (retired) and backed it with Acetate to create a window. I used the Catherine Pooler Fall Frames to emboss the border on the top panel. Check your embossing machines for the proper sandwich to do this properly.
I finished off the card by adding some Nuvo Drops in Dark Walnut.
For the inside of the card I decided to step it up and add a fancy fold! I started by cutting a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored it at 2-1/8″, 4-1/4″, and 6-7/8″. Basically scoring it into quarters. Then I adhered I inside the card. I cut 4 pieces of pattern paper from Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever Patterned Paper to 2-1/4″ (2) and 2-1/8″ (2). I shaved off about 1/16″ from all the panels so it didn’t interfere with the folds.

Hello friends. This post is all about adding fancy folds to your cards. I used different shaped dies and papers as well as a variety of stamps to create different themes. These were inspired by Catherine Pooler’s video on fancy folds over on Stampnation. Check it out here>>.
For the first card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and then I scored the front of the card at 2-1/8″. At this point you need to decide what shape you wll be die cutting out and which side you will be folding your panel. You will see that on my second and third cards the folds are in the opposite direction.
I chose a scallop square die from the Sizzix Framelits Squares Scallop Die Set. The way to achieve the flip window is to only die cut one half of the panel. To do this you just need to align your cutting plates along the score line covering only the side you will cut out.
For the second card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and then I scored the front of the card at 2-1/8″.
For this card, I chose a heart die from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet and SassyDie Set (retired). Same step as before for cutting the flip window.
For the third card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and then I scored the front of the card at 2-1/8″.
For this card, I chose a pumpkin die from the Sizzix Pumpkin Framelits (no longer available). Follow the same steps as in the previous two cards for cutting the flip window.
Next, I cut 3 pieces of pattern paper from the Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest 6 x 6 Patterned Paper (discontinued) to 2 x 5-1/4″ and one to 4 x 5-1/4. I also die cut 2 pumpkins (of the same size) from the same paper. Then die cut a smaller pumpkin from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the same dies. I inked it with Tim Holtz Spiced Marmalade,Carved Pumpkin, and Peeled Paint Distress Inks. I stamped a Jack-O-Lantern face from the Papertrey Ink Pumpkin Expressions Mini Stamp Set with Midnight Ink. I also added splatters to it and the right side of the card front with Black Acrylic Paint and stamped bats from the Lawn Fawn Happy Haunting stampset.
Front Panels = 2 x 5-1/4″ (3) and 4 x 5-1/4″ (1) Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest 6 x 6 Patterned Paper (discontinued)
Inside Panel = 4 x 5-1/4″ Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest 6 x 6 Patterned Paper (discontinued) Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest 6 x 6 Patterned Paper (discontinued)

Hello friends. The second card in my series is a really cute but simple card using the Catherine Pooler Designs Appley Ever After Stamp Set. There is no coloring required with these images so creating cards is a breeze!

Hello friends. I am starting my Fall series with a card featuring the new release from Catherine Pooler Designs. More cards using these products will be coming soon. For this one I featured the Woven Cover Plate. This cover plate adds lots of texture to your cards without to much work. That’s a win win!
On the inside of the card I added a piece of pattern paper measuring 1 x 4-1/4″ and another measuring 1-1/8 x 4-1/4″. I stamped a sentiment from the CP Joyful Thanks Sentiments with Eucalyptus ink and added another sprig.

I stamped the images from the Honey Bee Stamps Big Pickup Tailgate 6×6 Stamp Set and the Honey Bee Loads of Fall Stamp Set onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them with Copic markers. I used Y13, Y18, E15, E37 & E29, YG13, YG17 & G07 for the sunflowers; Y00, Y13, Y18, YG01, YG25, E29, E37 & E79 for the corn; BG11, BG63, BG18 & BG49 for the truck bed; BG000 & 0 for the windows; C1, C3, C5, C7, & C9 for the metal; Y02 & Y13 for lights; R05 & R46, YG01 & YG25, E37, E79 & E25 for the apples; Y13 & Y17 for license plate. And diecut them with the coordinating dies.

Hi friends. Here’s a quick pumpkin shaped card that can easily be mass produced. You can use these as cards, notes, invitations… I added additional ink over the pumpkins to give them more depth but you can easily stamp onto white cardstock or plain colored cardstock.
3or this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock to 7-1/2 x 4-3/4″ and scored at 3-3/4″ to create the card base. Then diecut it using the largest pumpkin from the Honey Bee Stamps Patchwork Pumpkin Dies, leaving the edge of thedie a bit off the card base so it doesn’t cut through the edge. I also cut a second piece of just the pumpkin.
