Fall Inspired Card for National Coffee Day

Hello my friends. I'm back with another Fall inspired card featuring new products from Newton's Nook. Plus, today is National Coffee Day so I'm covering my bases with that gorgeous cup of latte! This card truly encompasses my favorite season, with all the things I love about Fall. Scroll down for a few details. and click any of the highlighted text throughout this post for more product information or to shop!

First, let me give a shoutout to NN for the recent Instagram Hop giveaway that I won, a $25 gc to shop!  Of course, I threw way more than $25 in my cart, haha!

I really loved their Autumn Postage Sampler stamp set. So much so, that I finally bought my first postage stamp die! I've been eyeballing the various postage stamp cover plates from numerous companies for awhile. I'm so thrilled to add this to my collection. I absolutely love it!

All of my coloring was done with the OLO Markers you see in the photo above.

The products that I'm creating with from Newton's Nook are:

Autumn Postage Sampler stamp & die set 

Postage Stamp Layout Die

Autumn 6x6 Paper Pad 

Autumn Greetings Hot Foil Plate

The orange paper that I used for my background and to die cut the outline of the postage die was from one of my Scrapbookcom paper pads called Market Bloom. 

There are so many gorgeous patterned papers in the NN Autumn paper pad, it can be overwhelming choosing which ones to use. I knew I wanted to fill my postage squares with the paper, so I decided to choose 3 papers. Gingham and plaid are my faves so that was easy enough. I also thought the brown leafy paper would be complementary and not too busy as a backdrop for my colored images. Plus, it was on the flipside of my plaid paper so I only had to run a total of 2 sheets through my die cut machine, as opposed to 3.

 

If you follow me on Instagram, maybe you caught my stories over the weekend, sharing a video of the bulk foiling and reverse foiling that I did recently. The sentiment above was done with a negative foiled sheet leftover from foiling with the NN Autumn Greetings hot foil plate. I love using negative sheets but you do need a solid hot foil plate. I do all my foiling with my Glimmer hot foil system.

I used my Spellbinders Copper foil for my negative foiling on yellow cardstock, from my Market Bloom paper pad. I really love how foiling looks on colored cardstock. You really should try it if you've never done it before.

Can I also say, I love how my coloring turned out? I blended multiple colors for that leaf and also the apple. In fact, I think the apple is my favorite! I also embellished the apple, leaf and sunflower with Scrapbook Pops of Color liquid embellishment in Orange Creamsicle.

This card brings me such joy, I just love Autumn! We just need the weather to cool off where I live and then I will be one happy girl. I hope you have a fantastic week and have a happy National Coffee Day too. Oh, and I'll be guesting a couple places this week in celebration of National Coffee Week so stay tuned for more caffeinated inspiration! If you have any questions on this card, just ask away in the comments.

Grunge Autumn Card for Spellbinders

Fall is my favorite season of the year and today's card for Spellbinders reflects so many things I love when the weather starts getting cooler and you can sense the change in the air.  Today's card features two of the September Club Kits and I've gone with a bit of a grunge feel today. Scroll down for creative details. You can also click any of the highlighted products throughout this post for more product information or to shop.

 (FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)

The September Stamp & Die Monthly Club Selection is called "Autumn Whim". It includes lots of fun, seasonal images and 6 different sentiments. If you're not into die cutting, this same stamp set is available as the September Clear Stamp of the Month Club selection.

My card also features the September Glimmer Hot Foil Club Kit called, "Gilded Weave".   A hot foil roll is also included with your monthly club kit. I received Copper hot foil this month, however selection does vary. Working with hot foil does require some tools. I use my Glimmer Hot Foil System for foiling, then run the platform through my Platinum 6 die cut machine to pressure seal the foiling.

I really love the Glimmer Hot Foil plate this month. It reminds me of burlap and perfectly compliments Fall themed projects. Also, for my stamped images, I stamped with a hybrid ink called "Leather" from Scrapbookcom, using my stamp positioner. I really like using hybrid inks which work really well when using alcohol markers.

For my coloring, I used a lot of OLO Markers in seasonal colors. Spellbinders carries OLO Markers in sets. However, if you wish to purchase individual markers, those can be found directly at the OLO Marker website, here.

Now, once I colored my stamped A2 size card panel, I tore the edges all round my panel, then did some ink blending with Catherine Pooler Macchiato ink and a blender brush. In addition to embellishing some of my colored images with a white gel pen, I also threw a lot of splatter on my card panel, using black paint, gold paint and some Ranger Ink Distress Spray in Cracked Pistachio.

The papers in my background are the Spellbinders Saffron cardstock and Truffle cardstock. 

The Copper foiling in some of my photos lends to an orange hue because of my lighting, but it does present with more of a gold/copper hue as opposed to an orange-ish hue.

I thoroughly enjoyed making this card and I hope I've inspired you. If you'd like to subscribe to any of the Spellbinders Monthly Club Selections, check out all the various offerings here. The window for new subscribers to join any of the Spellbinders clubs this month ends on 9/27/25. 

Thank so much for stopping by. Have a great day and stay crafty!

Christmas Elf Card for Catherine Pooler Designs

Hello friends! The Night Before Christmas collection is live now at Catherine Pooler Designs. I have a festive Christmas card to share, featuring one of Santa's elves and lots of products from CPD. I'm also using several techniques which include watercoloring, heat embossing and masking. Scroll down for details. You'll find my clickable supply list at the end of this post, as well.

 (FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)

I absolutely love the plaid paper from the North Pole patterned paper pack. If there is ever a plaid design in a paper pack, you better believe I'm going to use it. Plaid and gingham are my most favorite papers to play with and the colors on this are so gorgeous and scream Christmas!

I featured the new Sugarplum ink with my last card, but am using a variety of other colors today, for a more traditional Christmas color feel. I'll have them linked in my supply list below.

For my wreath (Season's Peekings stamp/die set) and elf (Santa's Crew stamp/die set) stamped and die cut images, I opted to do some watercoloring, one of my favorite techniques. Simply press your ink onto a craft mat, spritz with water, then paint with a wet paint brush or water brush. Catherine Pooler inks are water based, so they work perfectly.

However, before painting my wreath, I heat embossed it with the new Catherine Pooler inspired embossing Glitter, "Sleigh", stamping the leafy wreath outline image with clear Versamark ink, sprinkling on the powder, tapping off the excess, then heat setting with a craft heat tool. It's absolutely stunning, as you can see in the photo below. 

After heat embossing, I went in and filled the gaps with my watercoloring, using primarily CPD ink in Mardi Gras and Samba. The ribbon bow is another image that I also stamped and heat embossed with the outline stamp, watercoloring it as well with the Samba ink.

My elf was watercolored with Pistachio, Do-Si-Do, Orange Twist, Amber (very diluted with water), Mardi Gras and Samba. 

I used a stamp positioner so I could do some masking for my sentiment. Masking involves placing tape over words to block them so you can stamp the intended words with a specific color of ink.

If you've never tried this, make sure once you've taped a word and inked another word, to remove the tape before stamping onto cardstock to avoid a mess from the inky tape. Repeat as desired. I also used Mardi Gras and Samba ink for my sentiment.

 

Lastly, I added clusters of sequins to my card from 3 different CPD sequin mixes, the red sequins from the Frankfurt mix, the light beige/yellowish sequins from the Kings Canyon mix, and the white and snowflake sequins from the new Lubek sequin mix. I love adding bits of sparkle and shine to my cards.

Night Before Christmas Sneak Peek from Catherine Pooler

Hello crafty friends. Catherine Pooler Designs has a new release coming out on Wednesday. The Night Before Christmas collection is full of holiday goodness to jumpstart your Christmas cardmaking. I'm featuring several products from this release. Plus, I'm creating custom colored tissue paper with the new Sugarplum ink! Scroll down for details. Also, keep in mind that most of the links I'm sharing today will not be live in the shop until 8 am central time, Wed. Sept. 10th.

 (FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)

First, let's talk about the box die that I'm using from the Season's Peekings dies.

I made 2 die cuts with this box die. One with the Sugarplum patterned paper (North Pole Patterned Paper Pack) and one with the Sugarplum ink that had been swiped on white cardstock.

I trimmed the lid off both die cuts to swap out my pieces as pictured below: the Sugarplum inked lid paired with the patterned paper box.

The reason I chose to trim off the lid is because I wanted to create some tissue paper for the inside of the box. This was done by pressing my Sugarplum ink on a craft mat, spritzing with water, then dabbing white Gift wrap tissue paper into the mix. I carefully dried this with a heat craft tool. Just make sure you don't burn your tissue paper. You can also let it dry naturally.

I adhered my tissue paper to the backside of my gift box, and also adhered some extra to my "counter/table top" trimmed papers, from the same paper pack.

The "No Peeking" sentiment is from the Santa's Crew stamp set and perfect for this scene! I also swiped Pistachio ink and Sugarplum ink onto white cardstock for my background papers.

Lastly, I added some sequins from the new Lubek sequin mix that is also releasing on Wednesday. It is an absolutely gorgeous mix! Of course, I never met a CPD custom sequin mix that I didn't LOVE!

This is a small greeting size card, measuring 3.75 x 4.25 inches. I wanted a more intimate space for my gift box, since this is the primary focus of this card.

Be sure and stop back by on Sept. 10th. I'll have another card to share from this release that I'm also excited about. Have a great day!

Terri
