Happy Thanksgiving with Autumn Opulence

Hello friends! Thanksgiving will be here before we know it, so today I’m sharing a card that pairs rich fall colors with a little gold shimmer. This card was inspired by a beautiful design I came across on Pinterest by Mary Deatherage. I loved her layout and had to try my own version!

I started with a Blackberry Bliss card base, then added layers of Lost Lagoon and Basic White cardstock. The three panels on the front come from the gorgeous Autumn Opulence Specialty Designer Series Paper. I love how the plaid strip in the center breaks up the two floral prints. A strip of Blackberry Bliss Ribbon wraps across the middle and ties the whole design together.

The wreath is my favorite part! I heat embossed it with Gold Embossing Powder, then colored it with Blackberry Bliss, Cajun Craze and Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Blends. The gold outlines make the colors pop. I cut it out with one of the dies from the Spotlight on Nature dies.

The “Happy Thanksgiving” sentiment is from the Thanks & Giving stamp set. I stamped it in Blackberry Bliss ink and fussy cut it with my Detailed Scissors. Then I popped it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals so it stands out from the wreath.

On the inside, I layered a Basic White panel over Lost Lagoon cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the retired Amber Autumn stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink. A strip of Autumn Opulence DSP along the bottom carries the design through from the front.

This card would be a lovely way to let someone know how thankful you are for them this season. Thanks so much for stopping by, and happy crafting!

Two Frightfully Fun Halloween Cards

Hello, friends! Halloween is almost here, and I have two spooky-sweet cards to share with you today. Both use the adorable Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper. The playful ghosts and black cats paired with the bright orange starry print make it one of my favorite papers this season. For both cards I cut the paper on the diagonal and pieced two patterns together, which gives a fun, bold look with very little effort.

Card #1: Happy Halloween

The star of this card is the spider web and its smiling spider, both cut from the Web of Fun Dies in Basic Black. I love how the web stretches across both papers and ties the whole design together. The “Happy Halloween” sentiment comes from the retired Potions and Spells stamp set, stamped on a strip of Pumpkin Pie cardstock. For the finishing touches I added a few little ghosts and black dots from the Adhesive-Backed Bats, Ghosts and Dots. Those tiny ghosts make me smile every time!

Card #2: Boo to You

For this card I flipped the papers so the orange stars are on top, then made a layered sentiment circle as the focal point. The circles were cut with the Spotlight on Nature Dies from Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie and Basic White cardstock, and the stitched and sunburst details add lots of texture. The “Boo to You” sentiment is from the Oh My Fright stamp set. A Basic Black Stampin' Blend tapped with a Bone Folder added speckles to the Basic White sentiment circle. I scattered ghosts and bats from the retired Glow-In-The-Dark Bats and Ghosts across the card for a little extra spooky fun, plus a few black dots from the Adhesive-Backed Bats, Ghosts and Dots.

Which one is your favorite, the web or the Boo? Let me know in the comments!

Happy stamping, and Happy Halloween!
