Fall Owl Mug Card feat. Catherine Pooler Designs Count to Six Cover Plate and Halloween Mug Shots

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 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″ as well as a piece of Strathmore 300 Series Bristol Paper Smooth to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ for the background.

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.

I stamped several leaves from the Lawn Fawn Scripty Autumn Sentiments onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink. I used inks to color them. I used CP Green Tea, Polished, Orange Peel, and Sauna inks.

I stamped the owl mug from the Catherine Pooler Designs Halloween Mug Shots (included in the Boo Box) with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink onto watercolor paper. I used CP Spiced, S’mores and Orange Twist inks with a blender pen for the mug and Pebble, Orange Twist and Polished for the foam.

For the sentiment I stamped part of it from Lawn Fawn Scripty Autumn Sentiments onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Catherine Pooler Designs Midnight Ink and fussy cut it, the second part with CP Green Tea ink which I die cut with the coordinating word die and the last part I stamped with black ink onto a banner die cut from the Law Fawn Fancy Wavy Banners (retired). I also used the Green Tea ink to color the banner outline.

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.

Using Up Scraps to Create A Background feat. Catherine Pooler Designs Count to Six Cover Plate

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!

For this card, I cut a piece of Lawn Fawn Paper Bag 100lb Cardstock to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″. I cut strips of pattern paper from Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever 6 x 6 Patterned Paper and Bushel and a Peck 6 x 6 Patterned Paper and adhered them on a diagonal onto the card base, trimming off any excess.

I die cut the Catherine Pooler Designs Count to Six Cover Plate (included in the Boo Box) 3x from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and cut off about half of each panel to create my window strip. Behind the panel I cut a piece of Lawn Fawn Paper Bag 100lb Cardstock and ran it through my die cut machine with the Darice Woodgrain Embossing Folder Background. I also used some CP Spiced Ink to add some color over the raised areas of the panel.

I stamped the several leaves from the Stampin’ up! Colorful Seasons Stampset (retired) onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP It’s a Girl, Samba, Sauna, Spiced, Green Tea, Eucalyptus, and Wintergreen inks. And cut them using the coordinating dies.

I stamped the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Scripty Autumn Sentiments onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP Spiced Ink. I used the coordinating dies for the ‘autumn’ and hand trimmed the ‘hello’. I also die cut a banner from the Lawn Fawn Fancy Wavy Banner set (I think this may get discontinued soon) from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and colored the border with Eucalyptus ink.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4 x 5-1/4″ and two pieces of Catherine Pooler Designs Bushel and a Peck 6 x 6 Patterned Paper to 1 x 4″ and 1-1/4 x 4″. I stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Scripty Autumn Sentiments with CP Spiced and Eucalyptus Inks and some more leaves.
