Happy Paw-tumn! Card by Farhana Sarker

Happy Paw-tumn!

Fall is just around the corner and today we are excited about starting our fall crafting! Today we are featuring a beautiful card by Farhana that is filled with fall fun!

To create this adorable autumn greeting she started by stamping and coloring the image of Newton with the milk jug full of sunflowers from our Paw-tumn Newton Stamp Set. Isn't it cute how the kitty is peeking around the pumpkin to see the bird? She cut the image out using the coordinating Paw-tumn Newton Die Set.

If you like the color palette on her image, here is a reference of the Copic marker colors she used: 

To create the rest of the card she started with a white card base and added two rows of pumpkins using our Jack-o'-Lantern Stencil Set. This fun three piece stencil includes one layer of pumpkin bases, one layer of pumpkin stems and one layer of Jack-o'-Lantern faces. She used the first two layers, leaving off the faces to create an autumn look. She added her colored image along the right side of the card, overlapping the pumpkins. Then she added the sentient from our Paw-tumn Newton Stamp Set below the pumpkins. 

We hope you enjoyed this cozy fall card today and are inspired to get started on your fall crafting!

Fall Leaves and Pumpkin Please Card by Farhana Sarker

Pumpkins Please! 

Today we are sharing an adorable fall kitty card by Farhana! 

For this beautiful fall creation she chose to color the image of the kitty in the mug from our Newton's Mug Stamp Set. She added a pumpkin to the center of the mug using the image from our Paw-tumn Newton Stamp Set. She colored image using bright teal and orange to really make it pop! The kitty peeking out the top of the mug looks adorable in gray tones. The image was cut out using the coordinating Newton's Mug Die Set. 

Here are the colors she used if you'd like to try them:

Next, she adde the sentiment from our Signs of Fall Stamp Set, embossed in gold onto a banner from our Frames & Flags Die Set. She tucked this behind the kitty image and added it to her card base. 

For the card base, she dry embossed leaves onto a white card base using our Falling Leaves Stencil. Then, she embossed the big square image from our Fall Fringe Stamp Set in gold onto vellum and carefully cut out the square. She angled it onto her card and placed the kitty in the center of the square. 

What a fun and unexpected way to combine these images together!

Fall Themed Card Duo by Farhana Sarker

A Fun Fall Duo!

Today we are sharing two beautiful fall cards by Farhana. These two cards are similar in layout but use different fall products. Let's take a look! 

Her first card is fall themed thank you:

To create this lovely card she first dry embossed the basketweave pattern onto a kraft colored card base using our Basketweave Stencil with an embossing machine to give the card a subtle texture. She then cut a circle out of the front using our Circle Frame Die Set. She stamped the beautiful image of leaves in a circle from our Fall Roundabout Stamp Set on the inside panel of the card, lining it up so that it fit behind the circle cut out. Then she stamped and colored the kitty from our Paw-tumn Newton Stamp Set and cut the image out using the coordinating Paw-tumn Newton Die Set. She layered this onto the front of the card along with the "give thanks" sentiment from the Fall Roundabout Stamp Set, stamped onto a banner that was die cut using our Banner Trio Die Set. So adorable!

Her second card is a fun fall themed card using a similar layout:

For this card she started out the same, dry embossing the basketweave pattern onto the kraft colored card base using our Basketweave Stencil. This time instead of a circle, she die cut a scalloped heart out of the front using our Heart Frames Die Set. On the inside panel she stamped the image of leaves in a heart shape from our Heartfelt Fall Stamp Set. Then she stamped and colored the sign with all the fun fall images surrounding it from our Signs of Fall Stamp Set. Aren't those light green pumpkins beautiful!? This set has a bunch of sentiments that fit on the sign and she chose to use the word "welcome" embossed in white. The image was then cut out using the coordinating Signs of Fall Die Set. 

We hope this set of cards has inspired you! It really shows you how once you have one card layout designed, you can easily change it up by changing out the image or shape!
