Fall Card Series #8: Inlay Diecut Thank You Card feat. Catherine Pooler and Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends. Here is one last card to close out my Fall series! This one is an easy inlay technique — and oldy but goody! lol

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 also die cut a piece of Neenah 100lb with the Catherine Pooler Woven Cover Plate Die.

I cut another piece Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 3-1/2 x 4-3/4″ which I colored with Catherine Pooler Designs Spiced Ink using the direct-to-paper technique. Then die cut another piece using the second largest die (3-1/2 x 4-1/2″) from the Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables Lawn Cuts Dies.

I die cut a window from the white top panel using the shadow from the Honey Bee Stamps Large Thanks Dies (retired) as well as one from Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever Patterned Paper which I then inlay into the window area. I stamped the rest of the sentiment from Lawn Fawn Thanks Thanks Thanks Stampset using Catherine Pooler Green Tea Ink.

I die cut 2 pumpkins from some Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Catherine Pooler Fall Frames. I colored them using ink. I used Catherine Pooler Sauna and Orange Peel and Green Tea Inks and popped one up with Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I finished off the card by adding some Nuvo Drops in Metallic Bright Gold and Bottle Green.

I stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Thanks Thanks Thanks Stampset with Catherine Pooler Green Tea Ink on the inside of the card and added a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever Patterned Paper measuring 1 x 5-1/2″ and 1-1/8 x 5-1/2″.

Fall Card Series #7: Creating a Faux Embossed Background Using Word Dies

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.

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, another piece to 4 x 5-1/4″, and a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever 6 x 6 Paper to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″.

I die cut a bunch of die cut words from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Honey Bee Stamps Honey Cuts Autumn Die (retiring soon) which I glued to the white panel.

I stamped some images from the Honey Bee Stamps Happy Fall Y’all 4×6 Stamp Set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them with Copic Markers. I used Y13, Y18, & Y18, E25 & E29, and YG25 for the sunflower; YG03, YG25 & YG67 for the stems and leaves; Y13, Y18, & Y18, C5 & C9, R20, BG10 & 0 (blender) for the bees. I use the coordinating dies to cut out the images. I popped up the bee with Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from Honey Bee Stamps Autumn Stampset (recently retired) onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

On the inside of the card I stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn THANKS THANKS THANKS Stamps with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and added a strip of pattern paper from Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever 6 x 6 Paper measuring 1 x 4-1/4″ as well as a sunflower and bee.
