Samantha has some “fangtastic” Awesome Autumn inspiration for us today! Her beautiful inky design features Fangtastic Friends and You Autumn Know.


She stamped and colored the images from You Autumn Know and Fangtastic Friends with Zig
Clean Color Real Brush Markers. And then once they were dry, she added details with a white gel pen
and cut them out with the coordinating Lawn Cuts dies.


She created the background with the Birch Tree Stencils, inking with Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin, Dried Marigold and Squeezed Lemonade for the sky. She splattered a little bit of water on top for a bit of texture! Then she used Lost Shadow for the trees, adding some white gel pen details. Then she heat-embossed the sentiment in white onto black cardstock and popped it up with foam tape! She also popped up all of the bats with foam tape!

Thank you so much for this truly Awesome Autumn inspiration, Samantha!

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Awesome Autumn Challenge! This card was actually inspired by a handmade birdhouse someone recently gifted me. I wanted to make her a special thank you card, so I took different elements that she used in the design and tried to recreate them in stamp form. I combined images from Winter Birds, Winter Birds Add-on, Our Friendship Grows, A Bug Deal, Scripty Autumn Sentiments, and Christmas Dreams. I stamped them all out with Jet Black Ink, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with the matching dies.


For the background, I started with a couple pieces of Bristol Cardstock and blended on Distress Oxide Inks. For the sky I used Broken China with the Cloudy Stencil. The grass I trimmed down with the Slimline Grassy Hillside Borders. Then I colored the taller one with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn, and the shorter one with Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness.


I stamped a sentiment at the top right of the focal panel and glued it to a Mermaid card base. I added the taller of the grassy hills over top with liquid glue, and popped the shorter one up with foam tape. Then I adhered my images with a mix of liquid glue and foam tape until the scene was nice and full. I finished with a bit of Stardust Stickles and stamped on the inside with Fish Tank Ink.


If you’d like to watch this card come together, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty! We hope you’re enjoying our Awesome Autumn challenge. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Catherine is up first with some spectacular Awesome Autumn creativity! She created the most amazing Ta-Da! Diorama! haunted house! Be sure to check out Catherine’s blog for all the details to recreate her magical design.


To construct her haunted house, Catherine combined lots of Halloween sets including Spooky Gate, Spooky Fence Border, Stitched Pumpkins and Scalloped Treat Box Haunted House Add-On. She also used Build-A-House, Scalloped Treat Box Winter House Add-On and Brick Stencil.


Inside the diorama, Catherine created a fun and magical scene! With a mouse from Merry Mice and fun accessories from Christmas Dreams (candle and clock), Purrfectly Wicked (open book), Den Sweet Den (stack of books), Critter Concert, (wand) and Happy Howloween (hat and cape) a mysterious scene emerges!

Thank you for this brilliant inspiration, Catherine!
