  • Fall Deer Panel

    Posted on by Julie Comment


    An easy to make autumn card, perfect for a masculine birthday or just to say Happy Fall to someone. This card is totally die cut, so there’s no coloring involved. Just pick some fall colored card stock and you’re on your way.

    A big congrats to Macarena, the newest Featured Stamper (FS920)! She has a fabulous gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the deer above foliage theme, but used all die cuts instead of stamping, changed the colors & made mine a vertical A2 instead of square.

    The woodgrain sign panel was die cut out of white & its surround frame was cut out of a dark rust. I wanted a little more framing around the deer so I used 2 arch dies to make a frame around him. The leaves were die cut out of various fall colors & some out of a metallic textured gold color. After it was all put together, I added some flat back gold beads in the corners & center of the leaves. The deer was popped up just a bit.


    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Today I have another fun Halloween card and it’s so easy to make. Also, it’s very easy to customize by changing the background paper and/or the greeting. I think this would look great with a bright Halloween orange or acid green background. I went with a bright yellow/orange glitter paper for some sparkle.

    It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS919), so a big congrats to Janet! She has a big, beautiful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the eyes, two color & cover die, but I used yellow & black instead of red & black, changed it to vertical layout & added a greeting.

    After die cutting the googly eye cover out of black, I tried it out on various colors of backgrounds & finally picked this bright, yellow/orange glitter paper. The sparkle just added that something I thought it needed. I used the smallest of the rectangle dies to cut another piece of the glitter paper & heat embossed the greeting on to it w/ a glittery black powder. I used the smallest of the Stars dies to cut the largest stars & two other Christmas dies for the smaller stars. Fast, easy & done w/ lots of sparkle.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    I have fun and bright Halloween card today. And it’s pretty easy to make, so as soon as these dies are released (soon!) be sure to grab them. Then pick your favorite bright background, add the die cuts and done!

    A big congrats to Misty, the newest Featured Stamper (FS918). She has a fantastic gallery & I was inspired by THIS card. I liked the black lacy die cut over a bright background, so I kept that, but I used different dies, colors, turned it vertical & made mine a Halloween card.

    For my spooky spider card, I die cut the spider web, parts of the spider & the shadow of the word die out of black. The web is a cover die & I wanted it a bit smaller so I used the 2 largest rectangle dies to cut a narrow black frame, attached it over the web & trimmed off the excess. Then I looked around to see what background I had to go under it. I found this really bright scraped acrylic paint background I made ages ago. I tried, but I just couldn’t get the camera to get the colors exactly right. It’s a much brighter, orangey/yellow neon color in real life. I looked good under the web so I used it under & also cut the word die out of it.  The background is really easy..just drop some big dots of acrylic paint on plain card stock, near one edge, then take an old credit card or similar tool & scrape the paint across the the rest of the paper. Don’t try to blend it & be aware of the colors you’re using so you don’t make mud.

    The spider & die cut greeting are popped up for dimension.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
