    handmade autumn slimline card with die cut leaves

    Hello, my crafty friends, I am back with a new blog and card! My apologies for not having found a good rhythm yet, but I promise I’ll do better. 😄 I hope you all like the card I share and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to leave them in the comments.

    Today, I’m excited to share a handmade autumn slimline card inspired by the beautiful fall season. Even though the weather is still quite nice here, it’s officially autumn, which means it’s the perfect time to play with warm tones, leaves, and nature-inspired designs.

    For this project, I created a slimline card using several gorgeous dies and a stamp from Kat Scrappiness. If you’re new to slimline cards, they typically measure 3.5 by 8.5 inches—a fun size that gives you plenty of room to get creative. Do you make slimline cards often?

    🧰 Kat Scrappiness Supplies Used:

    📋 Card Details:

    • As I mentioned, the card is a slimline. Start by finding a light-colored cardstock from your paperpads. I chose beige with a light ink smooch. I kept it light, because I didn’t want the background to steal the attention from the beautiful fall colors – those are the star of the show here.
    • I started with a light piece of cardstock, and cut it using a slimline die, I chose a die with a stitched border because I love the look it gives, especially since it ties in with the leaves. But feel free to use whatever you have!
    • You can set the background aside for now because next comes the fun part—die cutting! I always cut a bunch of everything I need. Most of the time, I end up cutting more than I need, but I’d rather have too many than not enough. 😜 For this card, I die-cut everything from white paper since I love to ink blend it myself. I always use Neenah Solar White cardstock because it blends beautifully, but use whatever you’re most comfortable with.

Using the brand-new Kat Scrappiness Halloween paper pads, Spooky Cute Purple and Spooky Cute Pink, I created this playful spread that’s perfect for capturing all those trick-or-treating memories. With silly ghosts, bold pops of color, and just the right amount of spook, this layout is ready to hold your favorite Halloween snapshots.

    • Spooky Boo Word Die
    • Boo-gy Ghosts Craft Dies
    • Ghostly Trick or Treat Shadow Sentiment Dies
    • Distressed Edge Rectangle Craft Dies

     

    📋 Layout Details:

    • Created the 2-page background by layering orange cardstock over white cardstock to create a frame.

    • Created page borders by cutting strips of paper from the Spooky Cute Purple Paper Pad and adhered them to the top and botton of the page.
    • Die cut two purple spider webs using the Creepy Crawly Craft Dies and adhered them to the top corners of the pages.

    • Created photo spots using a Distressed Edge Rectangle Craft Die and a patterned paper from the Creepy & Kooky Paper Pad to create the frames.
    • Adhered a smaller layer over both frames using patterned paper from the Spooky Cute Pink Paper Pad.

    • Finished the left-hand page, by adding a spider from the Creepy Crawly Craft Dies and a ghost from Boo-gy Ghosts Craft Dies.
    • Added the sentiment using the Spooky Boo Word Die and purple, green, and orange cardstock, backing these letters with a vellum shadow die included with the sentiment die.

    • Finished the right-hand page by adding a spider from the Creepy Crawly Craft Dies.
    • Added the “Trick or Treat” sentiment from the Ghostly Trick or Treat Shadow Sentiment Dies using purple, green, and orange cardstock, backing the words with a vellum shadow die included with the sentiment die.

    Easy Cardmaking – Make a Happy Birthday Shaker Card using Die Cuts!

    August 16, 2025

    1 Comments

    Hello my Crafty Friends!

    Angelique Vuur here, one of Kat’s creative makers! From now on, you will see me here monthly with a new card. I hope you all will like what I show you! I always love to read your comments, and please let me know if you’d like to see a particular project.

    Now back to the card! We all have those moments, when you need a birthday card but don’t have one in your stash. well, I’ve got you covered with an easy card, made with the new Kat Scrappiness Card Builder Dies

    🧰 Kat Scrappiness Supplies Used

    • Card Builder craft dies 1
    • Birthday Quokka 6×6 paperpad
    • Birthday Quokka Ephemera Pack
    • Glitter Sequin Mix – Peacock Blue
    • Silver Bullet Shaker Dots

    📋 Card Details:

    • I mostly make 5×7 inch cards, because I like the extra border around. So a 5×7 side-folding cream card, but you also can use an A2 side-folding cream card base. By this last option you don’t have the extra border.
    • Using the new Kat Scrappiness Essential Card Builder Dies 1, with the yellow cardstock with bubbles from the paperpad, created a frame for the shaker front.

    • Die cut again a frame with this die on a yellow cardstock.
    • Adhered the normal yellow frame to the red cardstock out of the paper pad.

    • For an extra festive look, I die cut again on a cardstock with colored circles out the paper pad, but this time with the little pieces within the frame.
    • Adhered these pieces on the red cardstock, being the background of the shaker.
    • Furthermore, I adhered a piece of clear acetate behind the yellow frame with the bubbles, being the front of the shaker.

    You can fill up the shaker with shaker bits of your choice. Kat Scrappiness has a HUGE assortment with all kinds of shaker bits. Don’t forget to look on the website by Embellishments!

    • Adhered the front of the shaker to the foam tape. And the shaker part itself is done!

    • Now the decorating part, you can use whatever you like! Adhered some ephemera pieces to the front of the card, as you see on the picture. I wanted to keep the separate areas on top of the card intact. So I placed the presents in one area and the sweet quokka with balloon in another. Some with glue and some with some foam tape. For a sentiment, I used the “Happy b-day” from the ephemera pack.
    • If chosen for an A2 card: adhere the whole shaker part to your A2 side-folding card and your card is finished.
    • If you choose a 5×7 card: adhere the whole shaker part to a slightly bigger dark blue piece of cardstock and next adhere this to your 5×7 card. I cut off a bit of the card so the border is evenly wide. And the card is finished!

    Thanks so much for stopping by!
