Fall Card with a WOW Factor

August 24, 2025

Hey everyone. Welcome back to the blog and a fall card with a WOW factor. I finally had time to get back in my room and record a tutorial for you.

For my card today, I used the new Thankful Leaves stamp set from Kristina Werner. Kristina always inspires me when she watercolors so today I’m doing just that. I paired her beautiful stamp with the my Iuile watercolors.

Fall Card With A WOW Factor

The richness of these watercolors against the black watercolor paper really makes this a WOW card.

The photos of this card really doesn’t do it justice. You will love watercoloring with these watercolors.

Here is the tutorial. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel @danajoy.

Here are the supplies I used on the card. Affiliate links have been used at no cost to you. So now it’s your turn to make a fall card with a WOW factor. Happy creating.

Poshta Design: Sunflower Die

August 22, 2025

Morning everyone. I’m back with a card using the new Poshta Design Sunflower Die. Ooohhh this die is one of my favorites. Beautiful, smiling sunflowers are a dependable source of joy in the early Autumn. The Sunflower Season Die features a large layered bloom and trio of leaves. Add the sunflower to wreaths, garlands, and other decor items to bring a cheerful touch of the outdoors into your home.This die comes with a Stitching Guide to show you how this design comes together. Measurement reference:

The sunflower bloom measures 3” in diameter. The fully assembled sunflower with leaves measures 3 ⅝” wide by 3” tall.

Retails for $30 (4 pieces)

Heritage Harvest Color Story (retails for $55)

This classic sunflower is absolutely beautiful and easy to stitch. It’s perfect for all your fall cards and decor. I used the felt, thread, sequins and beads from the Heritage Harvest Colory Story for my sunflower.

Poshta Design Sunflower Die

Stitching this flower was simple and straight forward. You will notice I do have two shades of yellow. One shade is from the felt color story and the other was a roll I previously had on hand. By combining these two shades it really makes my flower come to life.

As I am a cardmaking, this sunflower fit perfectly on a A2 (4 1/4 by 5 1/2) card. To keep the fall looking going, I paired the sunflower with gingham pattern paper and a simple sentiment.

The August 2025 Poshta Design release will be available tomorrow August 23 NOON EST. You will love stitching your way into fall and halloween with these easy stitching projects. Remember they all come with a stitching guide to help you along the way.

Thanks for stopping by to check out the Poshta Design Sunflower die. Make sure to add it to your cart before they are all gone. Happy stitching everyone. See you back here soon.

Poshta Design Cobweb Coverall Die

August 21, 2025

Welcome back to the blog for the Poshta Design Cobweb Coverall Die. The Cobweb Coverall Die cuts a spider web background sized for an A2 card front (the die doesn’t have an outer cutting edge though, so you have some flexibility if you would like to try other card sizes or techniques). This classic Halloween pattern adds texture and interest to your cards, making even the simplest creation feel spook-tacular!

The Cobweb Coverall Die includes a Stitching Guide for handy reference. Measurement reference:

The patterned area measures 4” wide by 5 ¼” tall.

Retails for $24 (1 piece)

Costume Party Color Story (retails for $55)

I know there are a lot of people who truly enjoy Halloween. For me it’s just okay. LOL What I love most about the day is giving out candy to the sweet kids and checking out their costumes. Let’s just say I prefer a fun halloween over a spooky one. So this Cobweb Coverall die was perfect for a not so scary halloween card.

Poshta Design Cobweb Coverall Die

I started off by diecutting the cobweb using the Costume Party Color Story. This pack has five great felt rolls along with matching DMC floss and a container full of sparkle with beads and sequin. So much fun to add the beads and sequin to your projects.

By stitching the cobweb in black I was able to achieve a very high contrast card. And by adding in just a few of the beads and sequins the cards is more glam than scary. Once my stitching was done, I trimmed it out in a fun shape and placed it onto a black card base.

The sentiment for the card was computer generated and die cut out with a circle die. I truly enjoyed playing with the Poshta Design Cobwebb Coverall die. There are a few more dies being released today as well.

Okay we have one more day for sneak peeks before release on Saturday, August 23 at NOON EST. See you back here tomorrow.

Poshta Design: Let’s Play: Cheer

August 20, 2025

Hello everyone. I’m here with the new Poshta Design Let’s Play Cheer die. The release of the Let’s Play dies are so much fun. For my card, I used the Cheer die and man this was such a joy to stitch.

Cheer on your favorite cheerleader with the Let’s Play: Cheer Die! Create home decor, holiday ornaments, and more. You can even personalize your projects with our Monogram Alphabet and Monogram Numerals dies for creations that are truly unique and special. Pair this die with the rest of the Let’s Play Collection for multi-sport projects with pizzazz! Included with this die is a Stitching Guide for handy reference. Measurement reference:

The fully assembled megaphone measures 3 ½” wide by 2” tall.

Retails for $17 (3 pieces)

This set has three dies in total. One for the cheer layer and two for the megaphone. It’s very easy to line things up to create this fun megaphone. And what better way to give a card than to add some felt stitching to it.

Poshta Design Let's Play Cheer Die

I am a HUGE NY Giants fan and I’m always cheering them on for each game (even when they lose). And with football season starting in just a few weeks, I thought I could send this card to my friend Pam who is also a NY Giants fan.

The felt colors I used for this card were Tundra and Cardinal. For the stitching I used DMC floss 796 and 3865. You can totally customize a card with your favorite football time as well. Did I mention, there is a football die in this release as well. Sooo good!

Kristina Werner August 2025 Release

August 11, 2025

Hey everyone. Today I’m sharing cards made with the Kristina Werner August 2025 release. This release is so good. Okay let’s start with my first card.

This beautiful card was created using the new Thankful Leaves Stamp and coordinating stencil. What is so amazing about the stencil said is you can create a beautiful leaf background without having to have the stamp set itself. Also within the stencil pack, there is a stencil that you can use to create one background in just one color or  you can choose to color your leaves in a autumn color palette like I have shared here.

 

First, I stamp the image in Concord & 9th nutmeg ink. For the colors of my leaves, I used spiced cider, cayenne nut, make grasshopper, and honeycomb inks also from Concord & 9th. I’m in love with how good this card turned out. The sentiment is from the new Sending Trio stamp set. It’s a good one to have in your stash.

Now for my next card, I went a little crazy. I love the new Botanic Shade stencil. This stencil pack is wildly fun to create with. For the look of added texture, I used the new Wood Lines background stamp through one of the stencils to create this abstract look on some of the leaves.

I used some the the same colors I used on my first card since I loved them so much. To finish off this card I used the new Thick and Thin Thanks die. Since the background was very busy, this card needed just a simple thanks.

And to finish off this card, I pulled out a few Concord & 9th enamel dots to add to the background of the card. The finished card size for this card is 5×7. I hope I’ve inspired you to grab the new products from Kristina Werner and start creating your fall cards. Thanks for stopping by today.
