Happy Purrthday!

Frantic Stamper is our fantastic sponsor for October and the winner will receive a fantastic die.  Here it is!

Priced at $25.99 - Prize for October

The challenge for October is Fall or Fall Colors.  You can work with the wonderful Fall colors or any holidays in October - for Americans, it's Halloween, so work your FALL MAGIC for us.

Frantic Stamper has so much to offer, stencils, stamps and dies.  We want to showcase some of the products along our month-long journey through October.  Frantic Stamper carries their own brand as well as many other well known brands, such as Altenew, Lawn Fawn, and Elizabeth Craft Designs.

I have fallen in love with this Magic Picture Changer die! It's really fun to play with when you're done. But... watch the video Lawn Fawn has for how to put it together! It's super easy when you follow along with the instructions.

 This is going to be my brothers birthday card. Lucky for me, my siblings don't pay attention to my blog! I felt this fit the theme because of the colors I chose-brown, tan, orange, and sky blue. Seems like fall to me-and my brothers birthday is in early November, so it suits.

For more information on the materials I used, please visit me at Just A Nutter Paper Crafter.

Thank You for Your Kindness- Frantic Stamper and MFT

For my project today I am inspired by wonderful golden/orange palette of the Fall foliage.  

I have an alcohol inked panel left over from another project and I want to use it differently.

So I die cut it with Altenew Layered Floral Elements Dies and created a Fall colored bouquet.  For the background panel I dry embossed it with a Hero Arts Flag Pattern Stencil.

I also layered my bouquet with some vellum die cuts to give it some 'air' and movement, otherwise the alcohol inked pieces look rather dense.  I embellished the bouquet with a few art pearls.

Supplies:

Monika made a card for a kindergarten teacher, with whom children love to play and spend time

Dawn lives near a beach with a Boating Club so this is for the sailors 

LeeAnn loves spending time in her craftroom, and this card just puts it all in her perspective. 

Di's Monty Mouse

Our Die Cut Diva's challenge is "Free Time" and the sponsor for the September is Di's Digi Stamps.  Check out the challenge here.  

Arlene here. and I found the cutest little mouse at Di's Digis one day and have never used it until now.  I thought this mouse was so cute, really just adorable.  I like the extra flowers, but now that I'm looking at the Nuvo drops, I think fewer would have been better.  But the mouse is still adorable.  What do you think?

I wanted to use two new dies with this wonderful digital image.  I used three different stamps, "a note to say hello, Good Times and an anchor on the top panel.  I cut the bear image out and adhered him on the bottom panel.  It was such fun coloring this bear and I thought he should have that "5 o-clock shadow" look since he's having a snooze.  That's how it feels to me.

Fun Fall Background with Cover Dies

Hi Everyone! Kristina here today with another card for our fun free time challenge! What do you do in your free time? One of my non-paper related hobbies is backyard birding, which has of course also turned into backyard squirreling! It actually all started with a squirrel that was curious enough to eventually become hand fed. We named her Peanut Butter because thats her favorite treat. She's still with us 6 years later, along with a whole host of other friends. They eat me out of house and home!

The Process

• I started with a beige piece of a2 sized card stock for my base, and on top layered two die cut panels going opposite directions to create a multi-toned background in a plaid pattern. 
• Next I stamped colored and cut out an image from a Neat & Tangled stamp set
• I adhered my image down to my background with foam squares, and adhered the whole panel down to an a2 sized card base. 

Next time you see a squirrel remember your crazy squirrel lady friend from the Die Cut Divas' blog! So crazy I've actually had my yard certified as a Wildlife Habitat by the national wildlife federation. Here's my little peanut butter patiently waiting for a snack.

Until next time :)

Supplies

** The background die I used from Lil Inker has unfortunately been discontinued but you can try this technique with many back ground dies.
