It's day one of a big three day hop introducing the new Fall collection from the awesome Pretty Pink Posh. Leaves, and apples, and pumpkins…oh my! Everything good and pretty for the Autumn season. You know I love it all! So happy to be part of the fun and festivities this week. I think you're gonna love this release too!! I have two cards to share today… Oh, and there will be a fun Instagram Hop next week, so I'll have a third card to share then. Yeah! Let's go!!

The new release is available now for shopping! Direct product shopping links, blog hop links and prize information is at the bottom of my post! Enjoy the hop!

First up is a card that absolutely represents FALL!!! I used the brand new Fall Basket dies with some previously released PPP stamps and dies. To say that I am obsessed with this new die set would be an understatement. My finished card is an A2 card base layered with some petite gingham and an oval frame. The rest of the card showcases those pretty new dies.

Here's a side view of my layers and construction…. I used the Spooky Fence die to add an old white picket fence to the scene. The oval was die cut from white cardstock and then ink blended with Distress Inks.

I knew I wanted a sign on this card….but hmmmmm. How to make it?? I used the Build A Gift Dies!! I die cut out a "present" and a "ribbon" from cardstock and then colored it like a sign using Copic Markers. Then I stamped that perfect sentiment onto the sign. I really like how it came out!! What do you think?

All the die cut pieces were cut from colored cardstock. I used Copics to add shading onto each element. The basket was die cut from two different shades of wood cardstock and also shaded with Copics. Can you tell I had fun making this card?? (Oh, and MORE apples!) (inside joke)

I assembled and reassembled all the pieces until I had a design that I liked, then glued everything down with liquid glue and/or small foam squares.

I added a few tumbling leaves and some clear droplets onto the finished card.

Those tiny mushrooms are the CUTEST thing!

Next up is a card I made with the new Apple Stencils set. It's a three stencil set: apples, leaves and stems. That way it's easy to use three different colors. My finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with green gingham, then the stenciled panel. I wrapped some vellum around the card and used the brand new Grateful word die as my sentiment.

I tried a new technique for ink blending/stenciling on kraft! I first used white pigment ink to stencil all the elements. I let the white ink dry, and went back over it with Distress Inks and blender brushes. I thought it would come out much brighter because of the white ink… It's more muted than I wanted but I think it looks sort of vintage or something because of that!! Sometimes it's a happy accident!

I added white gel pen accents onto the apples…and bits of white paint splatter….

Here's a photo on my work desk with the white ink concept!!! It was very easy to do this and I think I might try black cardstock next. The goal is to make the color pop against a darker background…

A simple finish with a twine bow and a little red heart…
