Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: Flocking with Die Cuts

Hello crafters, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani! Today I am bringing you some flocked die cut inspiration using the gorgeous, new Flock Sheets from Therm O Web!

The soft texture of Flock Sheets creates such a unique look on your cards and I couldn’t wait to start die cutting them! The colors in this new release are very toned, which I thought would be so much fun to use as a trendy, Fall color palette.

I paired the Flock with dies from Tim Holtz’s Fall Foliage leaf collection. If you have one of his other die collections – such as Funky Festive, Holiday Greens, Skeleton Leaves, or Funky Foliage – all of these would look spectacular cut from the Flock!
Before attaching the leaves, I splattered on some gold paint and I then added some fun sequins, and a sentiment from the CZ Design 2018 30 Days of Thankful stamp set.

I love how these items paired together in this trendy, Fall card! I hope you will watch the video below to see how I made it and that it inspires you to try this technique for yourself!

DIY: Paper Pumpkins with Shari Carroll

Ready for some Fall table decorating? I’ve pulled together some common supplies to make Paper Pumpkins complete with flameless candles.
Nothing feels better to me than creating something substantial from paper. I’ve made two styles, the first being traditional Autumn and Thanksgiving colors using Neenah Desert Storm cardstock paired with Prima Falling Leaves Flowers.

As part of the template, I’ve created a flat place inside to hold a flameless candle. The small pumpkins shown are leftover pieces from cutting out the large pumpkin, it’s a two for one!!!

The Prima Falling Leaves flowers are one-piece, really easy to glue in place. All you need to do is fluff them up!! Oh, and there are two pieces in the package.

The next set is using the Tim Holtz Paper Stash Abandoned. Oh my, this paper is GORGEOUS!! The best part about it is that each “page” of the pumpkin is different.

There is a rustic and homespun feel to this set but with a splash of shine!

To create the stems, I went out back and cut up some branches that had fallen from my trees. I used the Simon Says Stamp Outline Clustered Leaves die with some Tim Holtz Metallic Kraft cardstock to finish this one.

Are you interested in making your own? HERE is the downloadable template for you to use. I can’t wait to see what you make!!
