SHC - Simply Celebrate Fall

... Good morning. I'm beginning to get back into my normal routine. I'm here with my Seven Hills Craft blog post. I don't normally do cute, but I do like Lawn Fawn's Simply Celebrate range of stamps, and I treated myself to the new Simply Celebrate Fall, matching dies and the Simply Fall Sentiments recently. I challenged myself to use these sets as the main stamps for my cards. I started by stamping all the images from Celebrate Fall, colouring them with Copics and cutting them out with the matching dies. So here's my first card:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn - Simply Celebrate Fall, Simply Fall Sentiments

Inks: Gina K - Sweet Mango, Passionate Pink, Wild Lilac, Blue Denim, In the Navy, Black Onyx; Versamark; Versafine Clair - Nocturne

Dies: Simply Celebrate Fall; Gina K - Master Layout 2

Accessories: White Card; SU Card - Glorious Grape; Wow - Superfine White Embossing Powder; Finetec - Pearlescent Colours; Copic Markers; Nuvo - Clear Aqua Shimmer Brush

I'm submitting this card to Addicted to Stamps and More! - ATSM#439 where the challenge is Any Occasion.

I used purple card from my stash to make a side-opening US A2 notecard. I cut a piece of white card onto which I blended several inks to create a night sky and tapped on pearl shimmer paint to make stars. I used a stitch edged die to cut out the panel and layered it onto a white mat layer. I stamped a simple Halloween greeting at the bottom of the panel and adhered a row of cute ghosts across the panel. Inside the card I cut a piece of white card onto which I stamp a fun sentiment along with a couple more cute ghosts.

My next card is much cleaner and simpler:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn - Simply Celebrate Fall, Simply Fall Sentiments

Inks: Versafine Clair - Nocturne

Dies: Simply Celebrate Fall

Accessories: White Card; SU Card - Mango Melody; Copic Markers

I die cut four rows of acorns in orange card, stacked them together and finished with the coloured row on top. I stamped a bold greeting in black ink towards the top of the card and glued the acorns above. I stamped another row of acorns, coloured them with Copics and fussy cut them out. I stamped several of the acorns tumbling down the front of the card. Inside the card, I cut a mat layer of orange card and on the white panel I stamped a matching sentiment and added a few more acorns.

Next up is an autumn/thanks card:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn - Simply Celebrate Fall, Scripty Autumn Sentiments, Thanks Thanks Thanks

Inks: Versafine Clair - Nocturne

Dies: Simply Celebrate Fall

Accessories: White Card; SU Card - Gumball Green; MFT Design Paper - Cheerful Plaid; Copic Markers; Nuvo - Midas Aqua Shimmer Brush

This time I decided to cover the front of the note card with some green plaid design paper. I stacked the coloured autumn leaves onto four more white leaf diecuts and glued it to the card. I finished the front with a simple, bold greeting. Inside the card, I cut a piece of white card to which I added a strip of the plaid paper. I created the greeting from a couple of other stamp sets and added a single autumn leaf.

Next up is another Halloween card:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn - Simply Celebrate Fall, Costume Party

Inks: Versafine Clair - Nocturne

Dies: Simply Celebrate Fall; Gina K - Master Layout 2

Accessories: White Card; SU Card - Mango Melody; MFT Design Paper - Rainbow Plaid; Copic Markers; Nuvo - Midas Aqua Shimmer Brush

I'm submitting this card to Love to Craft Challenge Blog - LTCCB#70 where the theme is always Anything Goes.

I made the note card from orange card to match the candy corn image. I covered the front with a piece of rainbow plaid. I used a smaller stitch edge die to cut a piece of white card which I layered onto a black mat layer. I stamped a fun greeting in black and used dimensional pads to adhere the row of candy corn. I added a touch of sparkle with a gold tinted aqua shimmer brush. Inside the card, I cut a piece of white card and added a piece of the rainbow plaid paper to the edge. I finished the inside with a simple greeting and tiny candy corn.

Next is another Halloween card:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn - Simply Celebrate Fall, Costume Party; Simply Fall Sentiments

Inks: Gina K - Sweet Mango, Passionate Pink, Wild Lilac, Blue Denim, In the Navy; Versamark; Versafine Clair - Nocturne

Dies: Simply Celebrate Fall; Gina K - Master Layout 1; LF - Costume Party

Accessories: White Card; SU Card - Glorious Grape; Wow - Superfine White Embossing Powder; Finetec - Pearlescent Colours; Copic Markers; Nuvo - Clear Aqua Shimmer Brush

I'm submitting this card to Never-Before-Used-Schtuff - NBUS#42 - all new stuff!!

I blended several inks to create the background - I made it more of a sunset background this time. I used pearlescent paints to add the 'stars'. I die cut the panel and layered it onto a white mat layer. I stamped the Halloween greeting at the top of the card. I stamped the cut kids and extra bits on white card, coloured them with Copics and cut them out with the matching dies. I adhered the kids and bits to the card, added the row of stacked pumpkins and finished the front with a touch of sparkle to the pumpkins. Inside the card, I cut a piece of white card onto which I stamped a sentiment and added a few candy decorations.

My final card is quite clean and simple:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn - Simply Celebrate Fall, Simply Fall Sentiments; Concord & 9th - Apple Orchard Turnabout

Inks: Versafine Clair - Nocturne

Dies: Simply Celebrate Fall; C&9 - Apple Orchard

Accessories: White Card; SU Card - Gumball Green; Copic Markers; C&9 - Enamel Seeds; Nuvo - Midas Aqua Shimmer Brush

I decided to get out my Apple Orchard stamps and die for this card. I die cut a large apple from orange card, lightly added red ink to the edge of the apple. I added the die cut stalk, leaf and apple, stamped a bold greeting and finished with enamel seeds. I added the row of colour apples to the bottom of the note card. I added gold tinted sparkle to these apples. Inside the card, I cut a piece of white card onto which I stamped a message. I also added a number of cute apples onto which I'd stamped faces. 

Wow, that turned out to be a very long post. Thanks so much for sticking with me to the end. I had so much fun making these cards. The Halloween ones are for Kat, her friend Rachel, and Ben. The rest are for my stash - although I think I know where they'll end up!!

The weather around here has turned very autumnal - so much so that I've had to get out my winter sweaters!! Take care, keep safe and warm. See you again soon.
