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!

Oh, my goodness, Samantha certainly put the color palette to wonderful use! Her “Hello Fall” card is just too charming and so colorful!


Samantha is known for her whimsical color choices, so this color palette is perfect for her! From purple trees and grass to a sage colored beaver with a rainbow tail, this design is brilliant!

She combined the Wood You Be Mine? beaver with a woolen cap from Winter Birds. She colored the leaves from You Autumn Know in jewel tones, then she added the Finley’s ABCs greeting!

Thank you so much for inspiring us today, Samantha!
