Fall Card Fronts

Fall themed blog hop and free card front printables.

As a part of the Fall-themed printable hop, I created these Fall-themed card fronts. They are great for all kinds of paper crafting not just cards. The printable PDF file is linked below. Remember you can change the size of the printout in your printer’s dialog box to fit your needs.

My go to printer brand for years has been HP. I also use their ink supply service where I pay a monthly fee and they send me ink cartridges as needed. It comes out to be a lot less money this way. The HP Envy Inspire is a great-priced machine that will produce beautiful prints.

And if you are looking for a great crafting weight paper for printables, I have been using HP Project Paper. It is heavier than copier paper but not quite as heavy as cardstock. It is a great medium weight for layering, folding, and more!

for Tag it Tuesday

This week’s tag is colorful and playful. I pulled out a variety of coordinating papers and my round punches. After punching out a bunch of circles, it was time to play.

The card stock I am using came from CutCardStock. I picked colors and weights that went well together.

I grabbed a variety of different sized circle punches. Use what you have on hand. This technique is meant to be playful and expressive.

Video Tutorial:

I had so much fun making the tag I used the left over punched circles and made a birthday card. They coordinate well together. I even added a few circles to the inside of the card.

Making a Thanks Card

with Penny Black

Keeping small thank-you cards in your stash are so useful. I made this one with products provided to me by Penny Black. I fell in love with the Stick and Shine sticker set, it was so so fun to work with.

Here are the materials I worked with. The links below are for Penny Black products provided to me at Creativation and available on Amazon.

Video Tutorial:

In the above close-up image, you can see the detail of the ink blending. I enjoyed making the dragonfly images. The process is addictive!

Foil Technique and a Die

with Kokorosa

This card can be used for so many different occasions. I am not sure which makes it more beautiful, the die or the foil technique. Together they are exquisite.

Kokorosa provided the Bubbles Background Board die for this post. If you would like to get the same die, here is a discount and link.

It is so interesting how the foil looks like it is on top of the die cut, doesn’t it? The close-up shows the colors reflecting well.

Cardmaking with Transfer Me Sheets

Make a lovely greeting card with Transfer Me sheets from Dress My Craft. #affiliate #dressmycraft

from Dress My Craft

This lovely card was made using Transfer Me sheets from Dress My Craft. They are so fun to work with and the process is a bit addictive. With over 300 different designs you are sure to find one to suit your needs.

This is one of the transfer sheets I used to make my greeting card.

After working with the transfer sheets, I coordinated colored cardstock and a butterfly I had in my stash. Using a stamp that says “Just A Note” made the card so useful for a variety of different occasions. Tape runner and foam tape helped put it easily altogether.

If you are interested in the 3D butterfly, you can find the tutorial and free printable here [3D butterflies]

Video Tutorial:

A close-up image shows off the Transfer Me images and some of the dimensions of the butterfly and the sentiment.

Making a Card from Trash

Learn how to create texture while using packing paper. #cardmaking #crafttutorial

There are many materials around you that can be used for crafting. I recently bought a glass item that came wrapped in brown packing paper. Before throwing it away, I thought I could use it for crafting. I used a stamp pad to enhance the wrinkles for a textural background.

After inking the paper, I coordinated cardstock, a colored envelope, and a sentiment I had in my stash that was made with washi tape.

If you would like to learn how to make the washi tape words, that tutorial can be found here: [washi words]

Here is a close-up of the finished card. The little gold embellishments are diamond dotz.
