Hello hello hello everyone… Sending you all an Autumn greetings all the way from Ohio… Fall is in the air for sure becuase the leaves are changing colors and the weather is cooler.

There is a new challenge at Dare 2B Artzy blog today… You can guess the theme of this month. Yes… it is Fall theme!

I tried a new technique to me to create this slimline card. It is called Floating Die Cut. Many crafters used frame die to cut out a frame (like in this video) but I decided to leave it as is to get the full floating leaves background. I love how it turned out becuase it looks like Batik background.

To create that background, I cut out many leaves and acorns from this gorgeous Autumn Leaves Paper (it is also one of the patterned papers from the Harvest Collection Variety Pack) using the Fall Leaves Die.

The sentiment is from the Foxy Greetings stamp set that I stamped it with Eucalyptus Catherine Pooler Ink Pad on a white cardstock using Mini MISTI. And then I cut it into a sentiment banner using on of the label die from the Wavy Slimline Framelit Dies.

I added some iridescent sequins randomly in between the leaves for extra sparkly.

HAPPY NATIONAL COFFEE DAY to all the coffee lovers out there!!! Today, I join the Coffee Loving Cardmakers and Papercarfters community kicking off our ALL WEEK LONG celebration.

The National Coffee Day Blog Hop starts at Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog where you can read the detail about the blog hop, how you enter to win the prizes from the generous and amazing SUPER SPONSORS!!! Make sure you read the post carefully.

For this first day of the blog hop, I made a slimline coffee card using the Perfect Blend stamp set, coordinating Coffee Cup Die, Wavy Slimline Framelit Dies, Square Framelit Dies, and Fall Harvest Paper Collection Variety Pack.

I cut out a piece of Neenah white cardstock to make the slimeline card base. Then I cut the leaves pattern paper with the Wavy Slimline Framelit Dies. I also cut out a piece of white cardstock with one of the slimline framelit dies.

I added each cut out background layers on the card with E-Z Runner Grand Permanent from Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L who is also a super sponsor.

I had fun creating this coffee cup with paper piecing technique. I stamped the images on Neenah white cardstock, and 2 pattern papers with VersaFine Clair Nocturne.

I cut out the cup and foam with the matching die, and then I fussy cut the pattern papers with micro-tip scissors. I added each piece using the E-Z Runner Grand Permanent. And then I added it on the card with the same adhesive runner.

I stamped the sentiment on a white cardstock with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad and then cut it out with the Square Frameline Dies. I added it below the cup with E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Adhesive.

I stamped the coffee bean with VersaFine Clair Pinecone ink pad and cut out the coordinating die. I wanted to give them some shine and sort of look like embellishment enamels, so I inked each of the beans with VersaMark ink and sprinkled with some extra fine clear embossing powder. I held the bean down with twizzers when I heated it with craft heater. I added each coffee bean on the card with Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L Dots Mini.

On my first slimline card, I use the new Slimline Snowflake Dies. This die set make a clean-and-simple card looking amazing.

I love how beautiful the snowflake lace border! I cut out Neenah Solar White 80 lbs cardstock with the die. And for the background, I used a piece of glitter silver cardstock. I tied up some white twine on top of the card for finishing touch.

I used the new adorable Just Chillin’ Stamp Set and new Curve Slimline Border Dies on my second slimline card.

I stamped those penguin with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad on a piece of Neenah Solar White 80 lbs cardstock. I dried the ink with craftheater and then colored them with Arteza alcohol markers.

I cut some Neenah Solar White cardstocks with Curve Slimline Border Dies and then added some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink for snow shadow on their edges using small oval blending brush.

I cut out some of the evergreen trees from one of the pattern papers from the Snow Much Fun Collection Variety Pack. I also use on of the pattern papers for the background on the card.

After I added the images and the curve borders on the card, I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Clair Nocturne.
