I made so many Fall & Thanksgiving cards last year that I didn't need to make any this year. Then, I ran out of time and didn't get any mailed for our Canadian Thanksgiving in October, so now I have lots for next year too. Sheesh. At least I can mail cards to our American friends & family this month. I found this single 12x12" sheet of fall themed paper in my stash and decided to use it up. I made 4 different sized cards and will be sharing them throughout the week. This 5x7" Z-Fold crd is the first one.
The cute stamped images (Lawn Fawn) were stamped and cut with my Scan 'N Cut several years ago. I stamped & cut out a whole sheet of images from the stamp set and then just had them stored in a baggie in with my Fall embellishments. At some point I even coloured some of them so those are the ones I pulled out for this card.
Hello! This year I'm making an effort to finish off a lot of the 'in progress' cards I have in my craft room. That is where these six came from, and I have all the details on YouTube:
I loved this patterned paper and wish you could still get the K & Co paper pads. Both the Happy Thanksgiving on the card fronts, and the leaf & pumpkin inside were cut from a mottled foiled card stock and I adore the shine. I also added some gold Glitter Dots!
Since the card bases and pop up interiors were already cut and sitting in my 'In Progress' bin, I just pulled in some additional items from my stash to complete them. These cards were made using an older die cutting system from Karen Burniston called "Pop 'n Cut" these are the big Steel Ruled dies and I still have all of mine.
I used Karen Burniston's Autumn Elements for the leaf and the pumpkin elements - and I love that the veining shows up so well when you use a metallic or foiled card stock.

Hello! Today I'm sharing a sneak peek of Karen Burniston's new release ... the Garden Bench Pop Up. I also have a YouTube video HERE with all the details.
I used the Alpha dies to cut the letters for FALL from brown card stock, added Wink of Stella to each of them for some shimmer then coated each letter with Glossy Accents.
Here is a look at the inside, with the new Garden Bench Pop Up!!!! I went over all the details in my video, including what dies I used and they are also linked below for you. The new release will be shipping August 9th!

I was excited to be invited as a Guest Designer for this "Happy Fall Y'All Blog Hop" by Scrap 'n Stamp. Anytime I have an opportunity to share and promote a Canadian company I'm happy to do so, and I have been a customer at Scrap 'n Stamp for several months now.
This Blog Hop is going to be fun - and there is a chance to win a prize!! More information on that in a bit.
If you prefer to see the card in action and hear all the details, I have a walkthrough of my card on YouTube! That video can be found HERE.
Box cards like this can sometimes take a long time to create so I wanted to do a simplified version for you. As I showed in the video, I was able to cut 24 stitched leaves with only two passes through my die cutting machine! I did ink the edges of my leaves because I prefer that look - but you could easily leave off this step to save time.
Box cards can also be bulky, so I didn't use nearly the foam tape I normally would have for a 'regular' card and that offsets the extra layers of card stock from forming the box.
It's very hard to see in the photos, but I adhered some tiny clear star confetti around the card and they catch the light and are SO pretty! Why stars? The colours of this card reminded me of a beautiful twilight where you can sometimes see stars in the sky even before it gets totally dark.
I didn't add a sentiment to the panel on the back, as that is where I will write a note and sign our names. Still, I added a few of the die cut leaves and tucked in the stamped Wishbone for good measure.
I used Chameleon Color Tone markers to colour the racoon!
