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. 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)

Hi friends. Here’s another adorable scene card using the Pumpkin House Die from Lawn Fawn. It’s 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.
