All About Autumn

 


This card features the All About Autumn background stamp from Technique Junkies. I created the background using Distress Oxides then embossed the background stamp directly on top before adding some surprising elements! Lean more in my video below!

Fright Night and Spooky Pumpkin Frame

Hello! Tracy Shultz, The Hopeful Crafter, here with a fun Halloween Card. I used the new Spooky Pumpkin Frame and the previously released Fright Night Sentiment. I also used Catherine Pooler Inks. You can find all these products here:  https://techniquejunkies.com/  Use my code: TJ10Tracy to save 10% off your entire order

I ink blended my background with foam domed daubers using these Catherine Pooler Ink Colors: Chiffon, Catching Rays and Glitz. I stamped the Spooky Pumpkin Frame onto the ink blended background using Catherine Pooler Midnight Ink. I stamped the Fright Night sentiment, trimmed it with the Deckle Trimmer and popped the sentiment up with foam tape. I backed the sentiment with a piece black mat cardstock, trimmed with the Deckle Trimmer. I used dies from my stash to add three black  bats to the panel. I used a piece of yellow cardstock for a mat and placed it onto black A2 Card Base. 

Thank you for visiting the blog today!

Box of Crayon Leaves


Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  It alllllmost feels like fall here, because the mornings are just a tiny bit cooler and crisper than they have been over the past four months.  We are still in the 90's in the afternoons, so it's not quite there yet, but I do think there is some hope for some cool fall weather on the horizon.  So with that in mind, I had a lot of fun with today's card.  

I stamped the new Leaves background from Technique Junkies with a dark brown permanent ink onto some white cardstock and let it dry.  Then I had a blast watercoloring the leaves in various shades of yellow, orange, red, green, and magenta.  While this was drying, I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn set (Technique Junkies) with the same dark brown ink I used for the background.  That sentiment says it all, and it really does look like I used all the crayons in the box to color those leaves, doesn't it?  LOL

Please feel free to use this code, TJ10Holly, when you shop at Technique Junkies.  You'll save 10% off your entire order, so grab this beautiful new Leaves Background stamp and check out all the great fall stamps from this month's release HERE.  Have a great day!

Who doesn't love the colors of Autumn? It is my favorite time of the year, and here in the Northeast, nature gifts us with a palette of beautiful colors.  Our tutorial today celebrates the colors, and the sentiments on them celebrate the gratefulness they evoke, by showing you how to make three cards with the supplies. 


I created two kits for you so you can save a little money if you are interested. The kits may be found HERE.

Our offices will be closed from September 21st through September 30th. Any orders received during that time will not be fulfilled until after October 3rd.

A Gel Plate Autumn

My creation today was done by brayering some fall color acrylic paints onto the gel plate and then stamped the Leaves Background onto the plate. Next, I brayered a thin layer of white acrylic paint onto the gel plate. Lastly, I pulled the print using a piece of white card stock. I absolutely love the look I got! I stamped the Pumpkin Spice sentiment in a deep red and distressed the sentiment panel by sponging. Matted with the same color and put both on a white card base.
