LDRS Creative | Layered Autumn Florals and Foliage Card

It's absolutely gorgeous outside! I love when nature turns to vibrant yellows and reds and the wind scatters leaves across the street. I created a card with colors from my backyard. I hope your view is as gorgeous as mine! 

Products used - 

Autumn Blooms Layering 6x8 Stamps

Autumn Blooms Masking Stencil

Giving Thanks Collage 4x6 Stamps

I used the Autumn Blooms Layering 6x8 Stamps and a handful of LDRS Creative inks to stamp an arrangement hanging off the left side of a white panel measuring 4" x 5.25". I used the Autumn Blooms Masking Stencil so that I could have parts of my arrangement tucked behind the main flower. 

Once my images were stamped, I finished with a mix of sentiments and small fall-related icons from the Giving Thanks Collage 4x6 Stamps. That's it! So easy and pretty for fall!

Creating a Pirouette with the Cooler Days Collage Stamps

Autumn is finally here! I thought I would celebrate the season by showing you a different way to use your stack and collage stamps. Many of the stamps in these sets are small images - making them perfect to use with the Pirouette Pattern Templates! 

I know a lot of you have been wanting new Pirouette stamps, but I wanted to show you how you can use ANY small stamp in your stash to make a pirouette design! Be sure to watch my video above to see how easy it is to create a spiral pirouette on an A2 card.

I used a variety of LDRS Creative Hybrid Inks to stamp my design using the Cooler Days Collage 4x6 Stamps with the Pirouette Pattern Templates and then used one of the A2 Stitched Layered Card Toppers to cut. down my panel. I mounted that onto a kraft layer cut from the Delicate Stitches Scalloped Rectangle Dies. 

There are many sentiments included in the Cooler Days Collage 4x6 Stamps, but I decided to press a sentiment into a strip of kraft cardstock using the Thoughts of You Impress-ion Letterpress Sentiment Dies. I added that across the center of my pirouette pattern and that's it!

Thankful Shaker Card

It's Lynnea! Creating a fall-themed shaker card with stamp layering and die-cutting has never been easier - or cuter! Join me as I take you through my process for creating this easy shaker card!

Let's start with an A2 piece of kraft cardstock. I grabbed the Grateful for You 4x6 Stamps and used various shades of yellow, orange, red, and green LDRS Creative Hybrid Inks to stamp the solid maple and oak leaves all over the panel. I added the acorns with two shades of brown LDRS Creative Hybrid Inks wherever there was empty space in my background. You could leave the background as is, but I decided to add the detail layer for the leaves and acorns. I used Raven Hybrid Ink for the outlines. I wasn't careful about lining the outline up perfectly. Instead, I decided to offset it just a bit. Some gold watercolor spatters finish the background.

I die cut white cardstock using the largest oval from the Delicate Stitches Delicate Oval Dies to use as my shaker frame. I added a piece of acetate to the back and then added double thick foam tape around the back of the frame. I filled it up with a gold, white, and brown shaker mix and added it to the front of my stamped panel. I die cut a sentiment from the All Occasions Sentiment Dies and thought that would finish off my card ... but it was missing something.

In the end - I decided my card needed a little dose of something cute! I used LDRS Creative Hybrid Inks to stamp the squirrel from the Grateful for You 4x6 Stamps, trimmed it out with scissors, and added the image to the front of my card. That's it! Easy peasy and super cute! 

LDRS Creative | Leaf Outline Stencils Fall Card

Hey, there! I'm back with another easy card using the new LDRS Creative Halloween & Christmas 2022 Collection! I did a bit of layered stenciling and stepped it up with some shimmery gold watercolor. Find the full tutorial on YouTube!

I started my card with the new Leaf Outline Stencils. Layering stencils are such a fabulous way to add multiple colors to your card. I started with the layer that adds the veins of the leaves, but you could start with the outline if you want. I used Scarlet Rose Hybrid Ink and then In Your Face Orange for the leaf out line layer. I love to add a bit of shimmer to my backgrounds and usually that means ink spattering, but I switched things up this time! I used my gold shimmer watercolor to highlight one side of each leaf. I did this randomly, but I love the effect!

All that's left to do is add a sentiment ... or two ... or three! Because that's a style I just can't shake these days! A few people have asked to see the new Sentiment Stack Shadow Die - Wave in action and this card was perfect for it! I stamped the Harvest Wishes Stack Stamp in Coffee Bean Hybrid Ink and die cut it with the Wave Ribbon Stack Coordinating Die. I cut the Sentiment Stack Shadow Die - Wave three times from gold foiled cardstock and added the shadow to three of the sentiments.

I added the three sentiments to the front of my card and that's it! Finished! Super simple, but super shimmery, and it has all kinds of Fall vibes!

LDRS Creative | Halloween & Christmas 2022 Collection - Fall Features

The new release from LDRS Creative is just around the corner! I have a fun Fall themed card sneak peek video to share with you! 

I started by stenciling some Dan-D-Lion Hybrid Ink with the dotted layer from the Diamond Leaf Stencils and then using Grass Green Glitz Glitter Gel for the second layer. I set the panel aside to dry. 

I stamped the floral images from the Hello Sunshine 4x6 Stamps and colored them with the Hello Sunshine Layering Stencils and a handful of LDRS Creative Hybrid Inks. I used the Hello Sunshine Coordinating Dies to cut out the images as well as a sentiment and shadow. 

I added everything onto my card with foam tape and that's it! The new Halloween & Christmas 2022 Collection will be available TOMORROW, September 9th at 8am ET! All links will be live with the new product release. Come back tomorrow - I have another video to share with you!

InkOn3 | New Release Instagram Hop

Today InkOn3 is celebrating THREE new stamp sets and THREE new mini ink cubes! I’m sharing inspiration using some of the newest items!

I used some of the new Atelier Ink Cubes to do some ink blending onto my background panel. I have a secret! I started with yellow cardstock instead of white! This made things easier and slightly altered the color of the inks giving the appearance that I put in more effort than I actually did! 

I used a 3D Embossing Folder to add texture to my background. I am not well practiced with embossing folders .... I embossed the wrong side of my cardstock, so the texture isn't as noticeable as I had hoped, but I like the effect! 

I finished the card with some images and a sentiment from the new Thankful For You Stamp Set. Thanks for joining me! 

InkOn3 NEW RELEASE! | Faux Watercolor with Atelier Ink Cubes

There's a new release from InkOn3 and I used one of the new stamp sets and some Atelier Ink Cubes to create an Autumn themed faux watercolored card. 

The new Thankful For You Stamp Set has solid and outline leaves that you can use together or separately. I lined up the solid images on my card using my Misti and inked them up with Marilyn Red, Marigold Orange, and Bee Sting Yellow Atelier Ink Cubes. I spritzed them with a bit of water and stamped them onto my card giving me a faux watercolor look. 

I stamped the outlines with Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink but I offset them to add to the whimsy of the background. I added some flicks of gold watercolor to fill in any empty spaces. 

I used Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink to stamp a sentiment from the Thankful For You Stamp Set, cut it into strips, and lined the bottom with red cardstock and popped up the strips with foam tape to finish the card. Thanks for joining me! 

LDRS Creative | Thankful for You Gift Tag Stack

Hi there, it's Lynnea! There are so many uses for tags! I used the LDRS Creative Thankful For You Gift Tag Stack to make little notes to attach to sweet treats for my son! 

I LOVE the new gift tag stack system! Such an easy way to make a bunch of tags at once! I wanted to create some Autumn treat tags, so I stamped the new Thankful for You Gift Tag Stack with Coffee Bean Ink. LDRS Creative Inks are a hybrid ink, which means I can add whatever color medium I want without worrying about my ink smearing. Yay! I used alcohol markers and quickly colored the tags and cut them out all at once with the Gift Tack Stack Die. I chose two tags that went well together and glued them back to back so that my tags are pretty on both sides. 

What's cuter than a little woodland Pocket Pal?! Not much! I stamped some critters from the Campfire Friends Pocket Pals Stamp Set with Coffee Bean Ink so that they would match my tags, colored them with markers, and cut them out with the coordinating dies. 

I wrote little notes on the back of teach tag and threaded some twine through the hole at the top and added my critters with foam tape. These tags are PERFECT for adding to sweet treats for my son! I hope this project inspires you! 

Miss Ink Stamps | Fall Mandala Stencil

I'm loving the Fall Mandala Stencil from Miss Ink Stamps! I created a subtle background with a bold image on this Autumn card! 

I used Pixie Spray to adhere the Fall Mandala Stencil off the left side of my card and blended Wild Honey and Scattered Straw Distress Oxide Inks to create a soft Autumn colored background. 

I stamped the fall foliage image from the Pumpkin Spice Gnomes Stamp Set, colored it with Copics, and cut it out with my scissors. I also stamped a sentiment from the Autumn Thanks Stamp Set and bubble cut around the sentiment. 

I added the image and the sentiment to my card with foam tape and that finishes the card! See you soon! 

LDRS Creative October Features Day 2 | Perfect Petals Autumn Card

I love floral layering dies because they can be customized with any number of color combinations to fit any season! I used the new Perfect Petals Die Set from LDRS Creative to create a fall inspired flower! 

I used the Perfect Petals Die Set and cut all the pieces to build my flower and glued them together. I love the patterns in the Songbird Fields 6x6 Paper Pack and used the A2 Diagonal Stitched Layered Card Toppers Die Set to cut two patterns and layered them together onto a white card base. 

I stamped the Happy Me, Happy You Sentiment Stack Stamp Set with Watermark Embossing Ink and heat embossed it with gold and used the new Sentiment Stack II Die to cut out all the sentiments. I picked two sentiment strips and adhered them to the top of the card with foam tape. 

I let the die cut leaves hang off the sides of the cards for an extra touch of something special. I can always mail this card in a slightly larger envelope! Thanks for joining me! 

LDRS Creative October Features Day 1 | Simple Fall Scene

The Doodle Borders Stamp Set from LDRS Creative is my favorite product from the latest release! It's great for simple cards!

This card is so simple to make! I die cut a piece of Neenah cardstock with the A2 Diagonal Stitched Layered Card Toppers Die Set and used Raven Hybrid Ink to stamp the pumpkins from the Doodle Borders Stamp Set and colored them with Copic Markers. I stamped the little bear and squirrel from the Campfire Friends Pocket Pals Stamp Set and colored them up and die cut them with the coordinating dies. 

I stamped a sentiment from the Thankful for You Stamp Set near the top right corner with Raven Hybrid Ink to finish the scene. I die cut a piece of matching white cardstock with the Modern Trellis A2 Coverplate Die and adhered it to a white card base. I popped up my mini scene with foam tape on top of the background. 

I hope you enjoyed this little scene! Come back tomorrow for another Autumn inspired project! 

ThermOWeb | Festive Fall Gnomes

Did you know the little gnomes from the ThermOWeb Festive Fall Add-On can hold any little item you want?! I have my gnomies bringing pies to Thanksgiving dinner! 

These gnomes from the Gnome for the Holidays: Festive Fall Add-On can visit my house for dinner any day! I did a bit of die cutting and paired them with a Brutus Monroe Toner Card Front. I even used both the positive and negative of the foiled piece to get two cards! Let's dive in! 

I chose one of my favorite Toner Card Fronts from the Brutus Monroe Really Radiant Toner Card Front Mixables and did a bit of ink blending to color my background. I thought the pattern could look a bit like sunflowers in the background, so I used brown towards the center of each of the "flowers" and then yellow over the whole panel. Be sure to use a clean, dry cloth to buff off any extra ink before foiling so you get great results! I cut a piece of Gold Shattered Glass Deco Foil slightly larger than my Toner Card Front and placed it pretty side up on top of the panel and ran it through my laminator using Deco Foil Parchment Paper. 

The positive foiled background was gorgeous, but the negative piece was just as gorgeous and I couldn't let it go to waste! I added a piece of iCraft Easy Cut Adhesive to a piece of white cardstock and placed the negative piece of Gold Shattered Glass Foil on top. It makes a beautiful second background! 

I build my gnomes by die cutting pieces using the original Gnome for the Holidays Craft Kit and the Gnome for the Holidays: Festive Fall Add-On Die Sets. The beards, bodies, noses, and feet come from the original set and the hats and cute little hands from the add-on. I used a combination of cardstock, patterned paper, and even Tuscan Gold Deco Foil Flock to cut all the pieces for my gnomes. I knew I wanted them to be holding something, so I took a peek through my stash and came across the Lawn Fawn Cutie Pie Stamp Set and thought how CUTE those pies would be in my scene! I used my iCraft Ultra Bond Liquid Adhesive Pen to adhere all of the pieces of my gnomes together and moved on to putting my scene together. 

I cut a grassy border and heat embossed a sentiment using the Lawn Fawn Thankful Mice Stamp Set and also die cut a circle to represent the sun behind the grassy hill and added them to my card using tape from the iCraft White 1/16" 3D Jumbo Foam Tape Roll. I added my gnomes on top of my scene with iCraft 3D Foam Squares.

I hope this project inspires you to look around your craft room and see what little items your Festive Fall Gnomes can hold! See you soon!

Miss Ink Stamps | You Had Me at Pumpkin Spice

It's September and I am MORE than ready for fall! I'm kicking off the month with some pumpkin spice (and everything nice!) from Miss Ink Stamps! 

I used the In & Outs: Quatrefoil Stencils with the Heirloom Blooms Stencil to do some easy masking and ink blending on my card. 

I stamped the gnome from the Big Mugs Stamp Set along with a sentiment I built from the Pumpkin Spice Stamp Set and cut them out with scissors and added them to the card.

Thanks for joining me for this tutorial! See you again soon! 

LDRS Creative | Fall Card with the Trick or Treat Pirouette Stamp Set

The seasons are changing and the new release from LDRS Creative is here to celebrate the cooler temperatures! 

The new Pirouette Pattern Templates are so fun and easy to use! You can create circle pirouettes, spiral pirouettes, and full patterned backgrounds all with one template system! I used the Trick or Treat Pirouette Stamp Set to create an Autumn themed card. Be sure to check out the video above so you can see just how to line up each stamp and turn your pirouette to create a gorgeous pattern. I stamped my images using Coffee Bean, Dan-D-Lion, Iced Tea, Scarlet Rose, and In Your Face Orange Hybrid Inks. These colors just scream fall to me! 

I grabbed a sentiment from the Happy Fall Stamp Set and stamped it using In Your Face Orange Hybrid Ink and die cut it along with a piece of red cardstock using dies from the Elegant Stitched Frames Slimline Die Set and foam mounted them onto the card. I cut a red cardstock layer for my card and adhered all the pieces onto a square card base. 

There are so many ways to use the new Pirouette Pattern Templates! I can't wait to bring you more inspiration from the new Halloween/Christmas 2021 Collection!
