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.

Embossed Background Using A Die feat. Lawn Fawn Giant Outlined Happy Birthday

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Today I’m using the Lawn Fawn Portrait Giant Outlined Happy Birthday die to create an embossed background. This card was pretty quick to make even with all the die cutting involved.

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 Lawn Fawn Black Licorice Cardstock to 4 x 5-1/4″ for the background.

I embossed the sentiment panel from Crafter’s Companion 6 x 6 White Pearl Shimmering Cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Portrait Giant Outlined Happy Birthday die. (See your die cutting machine’s manula for the correct sandwich to use). Then die cut the same panel from 6 colors from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 METALLIC JEWELS Kraft Stock Paper and Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Paper Stash METALLIC Kraft Stock Paper.

On the inside of the card, I stamped a sentiment from Catherine Pooler Designs Young at Heart stampset (not available-part of the Stamp of Approval Collections she used to produce) with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and added some of the small shapes left over from the sentiment panels.

Halloween Card Combining Older and Newer Lawn Fawn Stamps

kittieslovecrafting

Hi friends. Time to work on Halloween cards! It’s never too soon to start making Halloween Cards in my opinion. For this card I decided to use an older Lawn Fawn mason jar stampset (Summertime Charm) with the How You Bean? Candy Corn Add-on stampset.

For this card, I cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock to 8-1/2 x 5-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create the card base. Then die cut a piece of Stampin’ Up! Elegant Eggplant 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock (retired) with the Catherine Pooler Scallops and Dots dies.and embossed it with Stampin’ Up!’s Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder (retired). Then added some Catherine Pooler Grape Crush Ink as well as Tim Holtz Distress BLACK SOOT Ink to accentuate the raised areas. I also created the moon using Lawn Fawn YETI Pigment Ink and masking paper.

I die cut a piece of Stampin’ Up! Old Olive 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock with the Catherine Pooler Scallops and Dots dies. Then die cut that piece with the Lawn Fawn Grassy Border. I used Tim Holtz Mowed Lawn Distress Oxides Ink to add some dimension.

I die cut the fence from Simon Says Stamp 100# Black Cardstock using Lawn Fawn’s Spooky Fence Border.

I stamped all the images onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. The mason jar is from Lawn Fawn’s Summertime Charm, the candy corn is from Lawn Fawn’s How You Bean? Candy Corn Add-on, the pumpkins and squirrels from the Lawn Fawn Pick of the Patch, and the ghosts and bats from Lawn Fawn Happy Haunting Stampsets.

I colored all the images with Copic Marker. I used C00, R20 and the blender for the ghosts; Y11, Y13, Y15, YR04, YR07, YR09, C00 & the blender for the candy corn;YG17, YG25, YG67, YR04, YR07, YR09, & YR27 for the pumpkins; BG000, B0000 & 0 for the mason jar; R20, C00, C3 & C5 for the squirrels; YR31, YR14 & Y11 for the pumpkin guts; and BV0000, BV11 & BV04 for the pumpkin scoop.

I stamped the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Pick of the Patch onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest with Catherine Pooler Orange Peel Ink and cut it to 5/8 x 3-1/8″.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest to 4 x 5-1/4″ and added an extra ghost, pumpkin and bats.

I used Tim Holtz Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink for the lighter leaves and limes; Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink for the darker leaves and stems; Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Ink for the lemons and the drink and Stampin’ Up! Sahara Sand Ink (retired) for the fruit basket.
