"Autumn In The Wildwood" (Rozy Smith)

"Autumn In The Wildwood"

by Rozy Smith


Start with a black card base. Cut your card panel out using a white shade (there is another project using this die that will be placed on the Face Book page and this white portion is the throw away backing from the original). No need to waste anything!

Adhere the panel to the black cardstock. Using the Petite Maple Leaves die cut out several leaf sets from patterned papers. The paper, for the leaves on this card, were made using the Shaving Cream method. If you would like something really original, try making your own paper. They come out beautiful.

Adhere a cream colored bow to the top right of the card and position one bird from the Small Birds Die Set. That simple!

Have fun with all the new & old creative dies in the Frantic Stamper Die collection. The dies are wonderful and cut like cutting butter! Hope you are all enjoying Fall!

"So Thankful" (Rozy Smith)

"So Thankful"

by Rozy



Oh my gosh, who can believe that it is September and Fall already! Fall colors, warm cider and quiet time crafting!

Creating your own backgrounds for your cards is so much fun. Using Ken Oliver Color Burst Powders, Sepia, Burnt Orange & Yellow Ochre and watercolor paper makes it so simple. Spritz your watercolor paper with water and then gently tap the powder onto the surface, rotate paper and let it blend. Using your pokey tool, streak the colors until you see the desired effect you are looking for, then emboss the card front with folder of choice. (This one is done with clocks.)

Layer your finished background with white, yellow, bronze foil & patterned Halloween Paper.

Die-cut Medium Bare Ash, Petite Maple Leaves and Thankful Die using colors you love to co-ordinate with the background.

Adhere your die-cut items to card front. Adhere orange ribbon down the left side of card and layer Petite Maple Leaves in the center of the bow.

Voila! A Fall beauty! If you love it, try mounting in a white shadow box to create a one of a kind home décor piece.

You are Appreciated (Lynn Mangan, Guest Designer)

You are Appreciated

I love fall colors...and distress inks are the perfect inks to add to your cards to have gorgeous fall colors. For today's card, I pulled out a few different colors and inked up a piece of scrap card stock.  I then die cut the maple leaves to have a variety of colors/gradient looks across the leaves. To finish off my card and add a little texture I attached a touch of twine. The small leaves were super easy to adhere with mini glue dots.



Above shows a close up of the fabulous details on these dies. They cut perfectly!
