Fall Card Series #8: Inlay Diecut Thank You Card feat. Catherine Pooler and Honey Bee Stamps

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Here is one last card to close out my Fall series! This one is an easy inlay technique — and oldy but goody! lol

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 a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever Patterned Paper to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I also die cut a piece of Neenah 100lb with the Catherine Pooler Woven Cover Plate Die.

I cut another piece Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 3-1/2 x 4-3/4″ which I colored with Catherine Pooler Designs Spiced Ink using the direct-to-paper technique. Then die cut another piece using the second largest die (3-1/2 x 4-1/2″) from the Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables Lawn Cuts Dies.

I die cut a window from the white top panel using the shadow from the Honey Bee Stamps Large Thanks Dies (retired) as well as one from Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever Patterned Paper which I then inlay into the window area. I stamped the rest of the sentiment from Lawn Fawn Thanks Thanks Thanks Stampset using Catherine Pooler Green Tea Ink.

I die cut 2 pumpkins from some Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Catherine Pooler Fall Frames. I colored them using ink. I used Catherine Pooler Sauna and Orange Peel and Green Tea Inks and popped one up with Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I finished off the card by adding some Nuvo Drops in Metallic Bright Gold and Bottle Green.

I stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Thanks Thanks Thanks Stampset with Catherine Pooler Green Tea Ink on the inside of the card and added a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever Patterned Paper measuring 1 x 5-1/2″ and 1-1/8 x 5-1/2″.

Fall Card Series #7: Creating a Faux Embossed Background Using Word Dies

kittieslovecrafting

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.

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, another piece to 4 x 5-1/4″, and a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever 6 x 6 Paper to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″.

I die cut a bunch of die cut words from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Honey Bee Stamps Honey Cuts Autumn Die (retiring soon) which I glued to the white panel.

I stamped some images from the Honey Bee Stamps Happy Fall Y’all 4×6 Stamp Set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them with Copic Markers. I used Y13, Y18, & Y18, E25 & E29, and YG25 for the sunflower; YG03, YG25 & YG67 for the stems and leaves; Y13, Y18, & Y18, C5 & C9, R20, BG10 & 0 (blender) for the bees. I use the coordinating dies to cut out the images. I popped up the bee with Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from Honey Bee Stamps Autumn Stampset (recently retired) onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

On the inside of the card I stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn THANKS THANKS THANKS Stamps with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and added a strip of pattern paper from Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever 6 x 6 Paper measuring 1 x 4-1/4″ as well as a sunflower and bee.

Fall Card Series #5: Window Card feat. Catherine Pooler Appley Ever After

kittieslovecrafting

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).

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 another piece 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ which I embossed using the Catherine Pooler Designs Woven Coverplate (see your embossing machines instructions for proper sandwich).

I cut a piece of pattern paper from the Catherine Pooler Bushel and a Peck 6 x 6 Patterned Paper to 2-1/4 x 5-1/2″ and cut out three apple windows using the dies from the Appley Ever After Dies. I cut 2 pieces of red metallic cardstock from Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Paper Stash Metallic Jewels Kraft Stock to 3/4 x 5-1/2″.

Then stamped a sentiment and two apples onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ from the Catherine Pooler Designs Appley Ever After Stamp Set with Midnight, Samba, It’s a Girl, Over Coffee, and Deck the Halls Inks. I added Foam Tape behind the top panel and adhered the apples and sentiment behind it before adhereing to the card base.

On the inside of the card I stamped a sentiment from the CP Joyful Thanks Sentiments Stamp Set with Samba Ink and added a strip of pattern paper measuring 1 x 5-1/2″.

Fall Card Series #4: Using Catherine Pooler Fall Frames Two Ways and A Fancy Fold

kittieslovecrafting

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 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 a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever Patterned Paper 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 die cut the word “thanks” from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″using the same dies. I added Foam Tape behind the panel, added some Appolonia Sequin Mix and backed it with a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ which I colored with CP Green Tea Ink.

Then I die cut the frame 2x from some Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Catherine Pooler Fall Frames. I stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Thanks Thanks Thanks Stamp Set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP Over Coffee Ink and cut it to 3/8 x 2-1/2″.

I finished off the card by adding some Nuvo Drops in Gloss White.

I left the inside of the card of the card blank and added a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever Patterned Paper measuring 1 x 5-1/2″.

Dimensions

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 die cut the word “thanks” from Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever Patterned Paper using the same dies. I added Foam Tape behind the panel and backed it with a piece of green pattern paper from Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever Patterned Paper.

I stamped leaves from the Catherine Pooler Designs Leaf Motifs Stamp Set (retired) onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP Orange Peel, Sauna, Polished, Spiced, Green Tea, and Eucalyptus inks. I don’t have dies for these stamps so I fussycut them all.

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.

I added a border on one of the panels using the Catherine Pooler Fall Frames cut from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″. As well as a stitched rectangle and square to the other panels cut with the Lawn Fawn Small Stitched RECTANGLE Stackables and Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Square Stackables. I stamped the sentiment from Lawn Fawn Thanks Thanks Thanks Stamp Set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Green Tea Ink and cut to 1-3/4 x 4-1/8″. I also added some more leaves from the Catherine Pooler Designs Leaf Motifs Stamp Set (retired).

Fall Card Series #6: It’s All About the Fancy Folds!

kittieslovecrafting

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.

I cut 2 pieces of pattern paper from the Catherine Pooler Sunflower Fields Forever Patterned Paper to 2-1/8 x 5-1/2″ and one to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I also die cut 2 scallop squares from the same paper. Then die cut a stitched square from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Lawn Fawn Dies – Small Stitched Square Stackables, a scallop square measuring 2 x 2″ and another measuring 3-3/8 x 3-3/8″.

I stamped images from the Catherine Pooler Bless this House Stamp Set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP Green Tea, Polished, Over Coffee, Buttercream, Sauna, Orange Peel, and Spiced inks.

Then stamped the sentiment onto the white scallop piece from the Catherine Pooler Bless this House Stamp Set with Spiced ink.

On the inside of the card I adhered the larger scallop square (3-3/8 x 3-3/8″) and added a pumpkin.

Dimensions

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 Sassy Die Set (retired). Same step as before for cutting the flip window.

Next, I cut 3 pieces of pattern paper from the Catherine Pooler Bushel and a Peck 6 x 6 Patterned Paper to 2-1/8 x 5-1/2″ and one to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I also die cut 2 hearts (of the same size) from the same paper. Then die cut a smaller heart from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the same dies. I stamped the sentiment from Catherine Pooler’s Appley Ever After Stamp Set onto it with Midnight ink.

I stamped images from the Catherine Pooler’s Appley Ever After Stamp Set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP It’s A Girl, Samba, Wintergreen, Deck the Halls, Sauna, and Spiced inks. I die cut the apple basket from Stampin’ Up! Soft Suede 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock (retired) with the Catherine Pooler Bushel Basket Die and inked it with Stampin’ Up! Soft Suede ink (retired).

On the inside of the card I die cut a frame from Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 METALLIC JEWELS Kraft Stock with the Catherine Pooler Fall Frames dies. I also die cut another frame from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and used the negative piece.

Dimensions

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.

I stamped 3 ghosts and more bats from the Lawn Fawn Happy Haunting and the sentiment from the Papertrey Ink Pumpkin Expressions Mini Stamp Sets onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Midnight Ink.

On the inside of the card I die cut a spider from Simon Says Stamp 100# BLACK Cardstock with the We R Memory Keepers 2-inch Spider die and the sentiment from some Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest 6 x 6 Patterned Paper (discontinued) using the Pretty Pink Posh Happy Halloween Script Die.
