Happy Fall Slimline Card ~ Fall Collab with Teresa ~ Waffle Flower

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm so excited! Today I'm starting a fun Collab with my sweet friend, Teresa, from Fresh and Renewed with Teresa. We will be sharing a Fall card {or cards} each Thursday for the next couple of weeks. And we're both having a giveaway!! Details for my giveaway are further down in my blog post.

I thought this would be a great time to use products that I haven't used before. I'm a bit of a collector... LOL! Aren't we all! But this year I've been working hard to make my crafty purchases more intentional... buying things that I will use. However, I still have lots and lots of stuff that I added to my collection over the years. I mean I've been making cards now for over 20 years! The collection sure can build over that time. I'm super excited to play with a few of those must have Fall goodies that haven't been touched yet.

Today I'm sharing a sweet Fall inspired slimline card featuring the adorable Happy Fall Stamp Set and Dies from Waffle Flower. I don't even remember when I got this cute combo. I was looking through my stamps and spotted it... thought it would be perfect for a fun card. 

And right behind my Waffle Flower collection of stamps and dies is my Whimsy Stamps collection. I saw the awesome Slimline Postage Die that I've also never used before. I remember wanting this die so bad and then I never used it. Such a shame. But now I've used it and it was so fun to create a little scene using the different sections of the die.

I don't know why but coloring images for Fall is one of my most favorite things to do! I just love the color combos, I guess. I had so much fun coloring up all these cute images. Here's the list of Copic markers that I used for them all:

Flower Pot: YR31, YR21, Y06, YG03, YG63, N0, N1, N3

Pumpkins: YR21, YR15, YR16, YR27, E21, E23

Mouse: N0, N1, N3, N5, R00, R20, B000, B02

Mug: YR31, YR21, R00, R20, R43

Girl: E000, E00, E11, E04, E21, E23, YR31, YR21, B000, B02

Hay Bale: YR21, YR15, YR16, YR27

Pie: N0, N1, N3, E21, E23

Bear: W00, W1, W3, W5, B000, B02

I chose stamps and a die that I'd never used before so I had to also choose papers that I hadn't used before. I have quite a collection of Fall papers. Again, I love the colors so I'm just drawn to them and I have to have them all. I looked through my stash and found a pretty set of papers that were actually created by Teresa for her little crafty company called Scrapping for Less. She closed down her shop awhile ago now so these aren't available anymore, sadly. But she does still design papers for Not 2 Shabby. If you love pretty papers, head on over there and check them out.

The adorable Happy Fall Stamp Set didn't have a sentiment so I heat embossed a pretty sentiment from the Bountiful Fall stamps from Unity. I stamped it with Sugar Cube pigment ink from Taylored Expressions on a scrap of Kraft card stock and then melted the Alabaster White embossing powder that I had applied to the white ink using my Wagner Precision Heat Tool. Trimmed it up, cut a fishtail on the right side, and popped it up on the card along with the Slimline Postage Die and all the cute critters. 

To save some time so the video wasn't super duper long, I did most of my coloring off camera. I did record my coloring of the sweet girl though. You can check out the rest of my process in my video... Happy Fall Slimline Card | Fall Collab with Teresa | Waffle Flower.

I sure hope you've enjoyed the card I shared today. I hope you'll give my YouTube channel a visit and then stop by Teresa's YouTube channel, too! As I mentioned above, I'm having a giveaway!! I haven't had a chance to put the prize together just yet so I don't have a photo to share but it will be awesome!! I promise!! To be eligible you must comment on each video Teresa and I both share during our whole Fall Collab over the next couple of weeks!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
