Hello friends. Here’s another Fall card featuring Catherine Pooler Designs Count to Six Cover Plate and the cute owl mug from the Halloween Mug Shots Stampset.
For the back panel I used Color Burst Powder (Brights) to add watercolor. Then die cut the Catherine Pooler Designs Count to Six Cover Plate (included in the Boo Box) from Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever 6 x 6 Patterned Paper.
On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever 6 x 6 Patterned Paper to 1 x 4-1/4″ and stamped a sentiment from the Honey Bee Stamps Autumn Stampset (retired) with CP Spiced and Green Tea Inks and some more leaves.
Hello friends. For this card, I thought I’d use up some of my patterned paper scraps. You can easily make a quick and impactful background using strips of cardstock and pattern papers. I used the Catherine Pooler Designs Count to Six Cover Plate to create my focal image but as you’ll see I did a little something different to it to make it work for this card!
Thanks for reading this post. I hope Iโve inspired you to give this technique a try and your own faux embossed background! Leave comments or questions below or feel free to email.
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 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. I used Copic markers to color the images. I used YR04, YR09, YR14, , E23, E29, YG25, & YG67 for the mug; and W0 & 0, YG25, and E23 for the foam and straw.

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 Poolerโs 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. 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.

Hi friends. Here’s another adorable scene card using the Pumpkin House Die from Lawn Fawn. Itโs such a fun die set. There are so many occasions for which it can be used, Maybe a winter pumpkin?? Christmas??
I masked off the moon by punching out a 1-1/4″ circle from post it paper. I used Tim Holtz Seedless Preserves, Villainous Potion, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks. Then removed the mask and added Scattered Straw Distress Oxide Ink around the moon which blended with the sky colors and created a cool spooky effect. This was totally unplanned but worked out in my favor. I also sprayed water on the panel to further distress it.
