Hello friends. The Catherine Pooler Designs Halloween Mug Shot Stampset (included in the Boo Box) is adorable for Halloween but also can be used to create Fall cards. For this card I took a simple watercolor background and elevated it by adding stamped images.
I stamped the owl mug from the Catherine Pooler Designs Halloween Mug Shots Stampset (included in the Boo Box) onto some Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Ink. I used Copic markers to color some of the image. I used C1, C3, C5, & C7 and Y17 & Y06.
On the inside of the card, I cut two pieces of CP Sunflower Fields Forever 6 x 6 Patterned Paper to 1 x 4-1/4″ and 1-1/4 x 4-1/4″ and stamped a sentiment from the Catherine Pooler Designs Autumn Blessings Stampset (discontinued) with CP Sauna and CP S’mores Inks.
Dimensions
Card Base = 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″; 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ Catherine Pooler Designs Eerie-sistible 6 x 6 Paper (included in the Boo Box)

Hello friends. Here’s a quick Halloween shaker card featuring Simply Made Crafts Happy Haunting collection products. In case you are not familiar with this company, it is the creation of Helen Griffin from the UK. Go check out her blog. She has lots of cool dies and stamps.
I glued those two pieces of pattern paper together and die cut a window using the largest tombstone in the Simply Made Crafts Happy Haunting Spell Book ElementsDie Set. I backed it with a piece of acetate scut to a litlle bit smaller than 4 x 5-1/4. Then added foam tape to the back. I used a variety of green, purple, black and orange sequins from my stash. And backed it with a piece of Doodlebug Happy Haunting 12 x 12 Petite Print Paper (discontinued).

Hello friends. Here’s another Autumn inspired card featuring the cute pumpkin mug from Catherine Pooler Designs Halloween Mug Shots (incl. in the Boo Box). This time I created a shaker card using the Haunted Tags & Charms Dies (also incl. in the Boo Box).
I die cut the shaker window from the pattern paper panel using the tag in the Haunted Tags & Charms Dies (incl. in the BooBox). I added a piece of acetate with double-sided tape and added foam tape to the back. For the backer panel I cut a piece of Lawn Fawn Paper Bag 100 lb Cardstock to 4 x 5-1/4″ and used the Taylored Expressions Burlap Embossing Folder to add texture. For the shaker bits, I used some orange, red, brown and green sequins from my stash.
I stamped the pumpkin mug and foam images from the Catherine Pooler Designs Halloween Mug Shots (incl. in the Boo Box) onto some Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

Hello friends. So for this card, I thought I’d use a technique that I love to use to create dimensional backgrounds without having to have an embossing folder. You can use your dies to create faux embossed backgrounds. It’s super easy and fun to do!
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 an A2 card base, and another piece to 3-3/4 x 5″, and a piece of pattern paper from the Catherine Pooler Designs Eerie-sistible 6 x 6 Paper (included in the Boo Box) to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″.
I die cut several words from the Catherine Pooler Designs Made You Eek Die Set (included in the Boo Box) from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and adhered to the background panel to create a pattern, creating an embossed look.
On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Eerie-sistible 6 x 6 Paper (included in the Boo Box) to 1 x 5-1/4″, stamped a sentiment from the Catherine Pooler Designs Fright Night Stampset with CP Martini Ink and just added a purple witch hat.

Hello friends. It’s time to create some Christmas cards! It’s never too early to start. I decided to try making some very easy watercolored cards using older products I already have. These cards can easily be mass-produced which was my objective. I used all watercolor backgrounds but stepped up a few with embossing folders. It takes very little effort but produces great results!!!
I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set with the silver embossing powder as well. I finished the card by adding some flat silver sequins from my stash.
For the fourth card, I cut a piece of Stampin’ Up! Real Red 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base. I ran the watercolored panel through my die cut machine using the Darice Wired Fence Embossing Folder (unavailable).
For the last card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4-1/2 x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2″ to create a card base. I ran the watercolored panel through my die cut machine using the Embossalicious Christmas Merriment Embossing Folder (unavailable).
I stamped the kitty from Newton’s Nook Curoius Christmas (retired) onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I used Copic Markers to color the images. I used R20, N0, N2, YG06 & YG17 for the cat; C1 & 0, R14, R27 and R29 for the hat; C1, B0000 and 0 for the milk and cup; E34 and E37 for the cookie; and C3, C5, YG06, YG17, R14, R29, B16, B12, Y02 and Y18. I fussycut the image and popped it up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals.
