Fall Colors featuring OLO Marker and Altenew

Hello friends, I've had some Altenew products in my stash that have never seen the light of day, so I thought I would color up a Fall-ish card with pops of greenery. I'm featuring OLO Marker coloring as well, my favorite artist markers! Scroll down for details.

 (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 Altenew products I'm creating with today are the Floral Serenade Press Plate, the Classical Sentiments Press Plates Set and the Ivory Black Foil.

Yes, I foiled with my press plates! I used my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System and foiled with these plates just like you would with hot foil plates. My images turned out great! I also ran my plates/foiled images through my Platinum 6 die cut machine to seal the foiling.

I used 6 different OLO Markers for my coloring as pictured above:

OR1.6 - Orangutan

YO2.5 - Yellow Ochre

YG8.5 - Moss

YG2.5 - Avocado

YO2.2 - Pudding

O2.7 - Cinnamon

After foiling my image, I started coloring all my blooms and greenery. Once that was complete, I went in with my OLO Marker in Orangutan to color my entire background.

I highly recommend at least 80-100 lb weight smooth cardstock for coloring. I also try to color in sections and keep my marker to the paper as much as possible to avoid uneven coloring. This is when quality paper helps. Also, quality markers! If you are not using quality artist markers, that may be a reason you have uneven coloring, (splotches, streak marks).

For my foiled sentiment, I did my own hand trimming around the wording. I decided to color all around my sentiment with the same marker I used for the background. I really like how it seamlessly blends in!

I also splattered on some white paint and glued on some tiny orange sequins from one of my Catherine Pooler sequin mixes, for added sparkle.

I am so smitten with this color combo, give it a try! Tap any of my affiliate links below for more product information or to shop. These are provided at no additional cost to you. Thanks so much for dropping in today, have a great week!

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!

Woodland Tales Card for Spellbinders

My favorite season is just getting started and I was so inspired to create this card for Spellbinders, featuring the new Woodland Tales collection! I used several products to bring this beauty to life and you can scroll down for brief details. I'll have my clickable supply list at the end, 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 used 6 different products from the Woodland Tales collection. My focus was to choose a backdrop and work around it, so I selected that gorgeous Fall scene. It's one of the printed vellum selections included in the Woodland Tales Foiled Acetate & Vellum pack. These are 8.5 x 11 inch sheets and come in 6 designs, 3 acetate and 3 vellum sheets.

There are some really cute foxes included in the Woodland Tales Die Cut Shapes. These die cuts have a small white outline. However, I wanted my fox to blend in more seamlessly with my background, so I trimmed off the white outline with my scissors, taking care to follow some of the lines of the fur for a realistic effect. He's such a majestic little guy!

I used four more products from this collection:

Woodland Tales Die Cut Sentiments

Woodland Tales 6x6 Paper Pack (used w/fern die)

Woodland Tales Fern Die

Woodland Tales Gold Flecked Gems

 

There are so many more products included in the Woodland Tales Collection. Click here to view more! As always, I've provided convenient affiliate product links below for shopping or browsing, at no additional cost to you.

Fall Inspiration Instagram Hop

I'm excited to join a special Instagram hop today, organized by my super talented friend Bobbie Sue McConathy. All the designers on this hop have created Fall inspired cards and if you haven't heard me say this before, Fall is my favorite season of the year! Today's card features products from Spellbinders, Catherine Pooler, Sizzix, Echo Park Paper, Scrapbookcom, Ranger Ink and Picket Fence Studios. You also have a chance to win a prize on this hop. Scroll down for creative details, I have lots! 

(Craft alert!! Confession time below, you won't believe what I did!)

I used a lot of techniques for my card: dry embossing, stamping, ink smooshing and die cutting. The stamp set is from Catherine Pooler's Inside Out Gratitude Sentiments. 

In addition, I used my Spellbinders Hexi-Gem dies with my Platinum 6 die cut machine, to create a layered frame for my stamped sentiment. 

I chose lots of neutral colors to pair with my black gingham paper, pulled from one of my Echo Park Paper scrapbook collections called Little Ladybug.

I thought it might be fun to pull the plaid into my sentiment as well, and had the idea to trim a piece of my gingham paper, then trim off two corners and offset them at the top and bottom of my hexagon shape.  It really helped to create a lovely boundary for my sentiment. I can see myself creating lots of these framed designs as focal pieces for my cards in the future. I love the look!

For my leaves, I did some ink smooshing with Ranger Ink using these colors:

Distress Carved Pumpkin

Distress Kitsch Flamingo

Distress Oxide Vintage Photo

Distress Oxide Wild Honey

 + Jack O'Lantern Distress Mica Stain (splattered)

If you've never tried ink smooshing, it's a lot of fun! You need a craft mat, a water spritzer, ink and a craft heat tool. Just press your ink pads onto the craft mat (one color at a time), spritz with a little water, then dab your white cardstock randomly into the mix. Only ink smoosh one color at a time, then heat set, then the next color and so on.

Once I was done ink smooshing and drying my other colors, I unscrewed my Ranger Mica Stain and tapped the tube feeder to sprinkle droplets all around my inked cardstock. It leaves a dark orange reddish hue that has lots of shimmer and shine.

OK, CONFESSION TIME!!! You know, sometimes as crafters/cardmakers, we have to make lemons out of lemonade, right? Well I went to visit my dad on a Saturday, took some of my supplies to make these leaves while I was there because I knew he'd take a nap and then I would be bored, haha.

So, I start ink smooshing and lo and behold I left my heat tool at home. What's a girl to do? Hmmmm.....I wonder if I could dry these in the microwave. I guess you can see where this is going. I did however, use a heavyweight mixed media cardstock for my leaves, so I don't know if this would work as well for lightweight cardstock. I wouldn't want you to set the microwave on fire. I placed my inky cardstock in the microwave and did 5 second increments. After a total of 10 seconds, it was mostly dry. There were a few tiny spots that I just blotted with a paper towel and then I proceeded on to ink smoosh the next color and repeat the microwaving.

I can't believe I microwaved my inky card panel, but there you have it folks. Lemons out of lemonade!

Next, I used a leaf die from one of my Sizzix/49 and Market stamp/die sets to cut the leaves from my ink smooshed card panel. I also cut some leaves on black cardstock and used it as staggered backing for a shadow effect. They're popped up an adhesive foam strips as well. My backdrop is a tan colored paper from one of my Scrapbookcom Christmas paper pads, embossed with my Spellbinders Circle Illusion 3D embossing folder for more visual appeal. 

Lastly, I glued some embellishments from a Picket Fence Studio Halloween Sequin Mix. This is an A2 sized vertical card, so some of my papers were trimmed to fit and layer within those dimensions.

Thanks so much for hanging with me today! Make sure you stop by the Instagram hop and follow the requirements to be entered to win a prize! The hop begins today, Oct. 10th at 10 am EST.
