Raking Up Some Fall Fun with Sweet November Stamps

There is just something about crisp autumn days, colorful leaves and all the fun activities that come along with the season! For today’s card, I pulled out the adorable “Fall Gathering” stamp set from Sweet November Stamps. This sweet set was released last Fall and features six little girls and guys enjoying all kinds of autumn adventures. It also includes fun scene-building extras like leaves, squirrels, chipmunks and a pumpkin.

I decided a slimline card would be the perfect way to showcase several of these cute kiddos together. I started by creating a subtle patterned background on my card base, stamping the individual leaf images and the tiny acorn all over in a soft neutral ink. I love how this adds just a little extra detail without distracting from the colorful characters.

Next, I added my slimline frame from Waffleflower and placed a different kiddo into each of the windows. From raking leaves to pushing a wheelbarrow full of colorful foliage, each little scene has so much personality! I also tucked in the fun “Let’s Rake Up Some Fun!” sentiment from the stamp set near the top.

Of course, all of these sweet characters were colored with my Copic Markers, using lots of warm and cheerful Fall colors. I kept the rest of the card fairly clean and simple so those adorable images could really shine.

Such a happy, playful Fall card and a fun reminder that sometimes revisiting an older favorite stamp set is just as inspiring as playing with something brand new! 🍂🍁

Have a great weekend!

Sweet Sorceresses – Meet Mab!

Today I’m sharing another card featuring the brand new “Sweet Sorceresses” digital release from Sweet November Stamps! Meet Mab, one of four adorable little witches in this magical collection. I just love her oversized witchy hat, sweet little cape and all of those wonderful details just waiting to be colored.

This card was created for Craft Roulette, and last week’s parameters gave me such a fun jumping-off point:

• Project: ATC Card – Artist Trading Card
• Colors: Produce Aisle colors – blueberry blues, lettuce greens and lemon yellows
• Element: Tree(s) – I added a little hand-drawn branch detail to Lo’s hat
• Random: Use Three Circles – Lo’s three little dress buttons were perfect!

I created the small ATC-sized colored panel first, coloring Lo and the background with my Copic Markers in bright blues, greens, yellows and a touch of pink. I love how the colorful rectangle pops against the mostly white card front while allowing parts of Lo to extend beyond the edge of the ATC. I popped the colored panel up for a little extra dimension and paired her with one of the fabulous “Halloween Sentiments” — “You’re the Hocus to My Pocus.” How perfect is that?

Lo is part of a series of four Sweet Sorceresses, each with her own adorable personality. Even better, if you purchase the complete Sweet Sorceresses Bundle, you’ll also receive the coordinating “Hut” digital image for FREE! That special bundle offer is only available through September 12th, so be sure to grab these magical little witches while the bonus is available.

I had so much fun combining the Craft Roulette challenge with this sweet new release. Lo definitely brought a little colorful hocus pocus to my crafty table! 🧙‍♀️✨

A Meow-gical Birthday with the Sweet Sorceresses!

There’s a little bit of magic in the air with the brand new “Sweet Sorceresses” digital stamp collection from Sweet November Stamps! This enchanting new release features four adorable little witches, each with her own unique personality and ready for all kinds of Fall and Halloween crafting.

For my card today, I chose the sweet “Lo” witch and paired her with the cutest little kitty companion. I wanted to create a soft, whimsical nighttime scene. To begin my card, I created masks for both Lo and her kitty. I also masked off a large cloud-covered moon in the background before pulling out a cloud-edged stencil and my Copic Airbrush System. Using some spooky shades of purple and pink, I airbrushed layers of fluffy clouds across the sky, leaving that beautiful glowing moon shining behind them.

Once all of the masks were removed, it was time for my favorite part—coloring! I used my Copic Markers to bring Lo, her wonderfully purple witchy outfit, her broom, and that wonderfully scruffy little black kitty to life. I kept the whole scene filled with purples, pinks and a few touches of warm Fall color to coordinate with the dreamy background. The “Wishing You a Meow-gical Birthday!” sentiment was the perfect finishing touch for this magical little duo!

All four of the Sweet Sorceresses are available now, but there’s also a special “Sweet Sorceresses Bundle” available for a limited time. The bundle includes all four witches PLUS the “Hut” digital image, which is only available as part of the bundle through September 12th. Such a fun collection for creating magical Fall scenes, Halloween cards and, of course, a few meow-gical birthday cards too! 🧙‍♀️🐈‍

Have a fun long weekend!

Fall Wonderland with Tara & Owl

The new “Fall Wonderland” digital release from Sweet November Stamps is filled with the sweetest woodland friends enjoying all the beauty of Autumn! This collection includes a variety of downloadable bundles featuring adorable critters like a deer, a fox, a rabbit and more—all ready for some Fall fun.

For today’s card, I chose the darling “Tara” and “Owl” image and created a cozy little woodland scene around them. I added the “Tree Friend Maple” images to help frame the scene and bring in even more of that woodsy Fall feeling. I couldn’t resist tucking another tiny owl up into the branches too!

Everything was colored with a variety of Copic Markers, using lots of warm Autumn shades for the leaves and soft natural tones for the characters and tree. I love how all of the digital images can be mixed and matched to create your own unique little storybook scene.

I finished the card with a simple sentiment, making this one perfect for just about any occasion. Sometimes a sweet image, a colorful Fall scene and a simple greeting are all you need!

Have a great week!
