Good morning, friends! I'm back today with even more Autumn goodness coming your way from
The Greetery this month (
the new release will go live on their website tomorrow, August 23rd, at 10 am ET).
Today is all about enjoying a warm cuppa and snuggling in a cozy sweater. Two of my very favorite things!
My first card today features the latest Katie's Cuties set. This one is called Getting Cozy and it includes a trio of sweet characters that are sure to steal your heart. I paired the set with a new favorite, the new Knit Wits stencil (you may have noticed a sneak peek of this stencil on my card the other day).
I started by stamping the knitting critters (say that five times fast) and colored them with a mix of Copics and Prismacolor Pencils. I laid down base color with the markers and then shaded with the pencils. It gives a little bit of a picture book vibe that I really love!
I blended a warm background onto a white card base and layered it with a dark green panel that I stenciled with that great knit pattern. There is a second stencil that fills in all of those open spaces, but I wanted to keep the background a little simpler this time around so I just opted to use one.
I heat embossed the sentiment and added "varsity sweater" style stripes to the top of the card. I attached the critters to the card with foam tape and called it good. I'm really loving that pop of orange from the stripes!
Next up, I have a card featuring the Cozy Cup collection. The layering options in this set give it such incredible depth and detail that I can barely stand it. I'm more of a tea girl myself, but you better believe I am going to use the heck out of this set all winter long!
I wanted it to look like my coffee cups were resting on an actual table, so I whipped out some real wood paper for my background. It actually is a natural birch color, so I embossed my sentiment and then blended dark brown ink over the whole panel to "stain" it my desired color.
I used ink blending to add color to the knit coasters and adhered them to the card front, trimming off any overhang. I thought it would be super fun to have the two cups together, already enjoying each other's company.
For my mugs, I went with burnt oranges in keeping with the Autumn theme, but these mugs look gorgeous in any color you can imagine. The little pop of bluey-green foliage is a nice complement to those bold, warm colors. Honestly, the shading in this set makes it effortless to create a project with such dimension. It's going in heavy rotation around here for sure!
Thank you so much for joining me for the last few days! It has been so much fun to share in your enthusiasm for these new products. They truly do not disappoint!
Make sure to pop in on the other ladies creating with these fabulous products today and I'll see you again soon! And,

Such fabulous fall cards! Love seeing the Copics - great projects this week!
Fabulous colors and designs, love them.
Loved the colors you chose today and also the paper that looks like a wooden table that the cup is sitting on. Good Idea!
Your marker/pencil coloring really makes a difference to these images. Love your color combo and that great wood background that you stained to complement the colors you chose. Little touches make such a great difference and you did it masterfully. I'm thinking this set could double as both tea or soup also. So versatile.
I love your cards, Lizzie! Great choice of colors and placement!
