Hi everyone! Thank you so much for joining us today…one of my favorite days of the year. We’re kicking off two days of reveals and projects to showcase this year’s autumn collection. We’re heading into my favorite crafting months and I couldn’t be more excited!
Before we get to the products and projects, just an advance heads up that Laurie will be hosting an Instagram Live presentation of all of the new products on Thursday, September 9 at 11:00am CDT, so tune in if you’d like to check it out! She has some extra fun planned today with some special guests! 😊
Below is a quick look at all of the new products. Click on the links below each product heading for more details and information, or click HERE to see all of the new products in the shop. (**Please Note: although the new products are visible in the shop, they will not be available to purchase until 10am EDT on Friday, September 10).
BotaniCuts Wheat die & BotaniCuts Ginkgo die

The BotaniCuts Ginkgo features pretty ginkgo branches along with a few individual leaves, no assembly is required. The BotaniCuts Wheat is simple to assemble, and I’ve put together a quick video showing how they go together…
Layered Leaves stamp set + die

The Layered Leaves set is a bit unique in that the matching die does not have any additional border built in like is typical for our dies that match our stamp sets. In order to keep the delicacy of the branch, the matching die was designed without the additional border. I’ve put together a video showing the stamping for this set and how the individual leaves can be layered for extra dimension!
Grace Upon Grace stamp set & Grace Upon Grace hot foil
This verse from John 1:16 is perfect for fall, and we’re offering it in both stamp set and hot foil versions.

Now for some projects! I have several projects today, plus at the end of this post will be links to all the Inspiration Team members also sharing projects today!
My first project is a slimline card featuring pretty leaf clusters made with the BotaniCuts Ginkgo and Layered Leaves sets. The Layered Leaves were of course stamped with the stamp set, the Ginkgo leaves were diecut from white cardstock and colored with my favorite method – sponged with Oxide inks and then details and shading added with colored pencils.

The base was cut with the Crimped Slimline die, and the leafy bouquet was topped off with a new “autumn” diecut we’ll be showcasing tomorrow. I added some splatters of gold ink to finish it off and add extra interest.
Next is another slimline, again using the Crimped Slimline die as a base. This time I used just the Ginkgo branches – they are so pretty on their own!
[imagelinks id=”330″]
I layered both branches over each other at the top, then hot foiled the new Grace Upon Grace sentiment towards the bottom. I added just a few scattered ginkgo leaves and some gold splatters. It turned out so elegant, and is much simpler to put together than it looks – always love that!
My next card uses the same color scheme as my previous two card…I love how the dark background sets off these pretty leaves and sprigs! This time I used the new Grace Upon Grace stamp set to stamp the sentiment onto a panel cut with our Crimped Frames die. The cluster along the side was made with the Layered Leaves set, along with a few stems of wheat tucked in, cut using the new BotaniCuts Wheat die.
[imagelinks id=”331″]
To add some interest to the background, I used my Deco Triangles hot foil plate to add some texture and shine. I also added some ink splatters. If you’re wondering about the color combo I used to stamp the Layered Leaves branch, I used Brushed Corduroy, Victorian Velvet, and Rusty Hinge Oxide inks, with Versafine Clair Pinecone for the vein details.
Of course those pretty wheat stems are just begging to be bundled up with a big bow, so that’s just what I did for this next project. I grew up in rural North Dakota, where fall meant miles and miles of golden wheat fields, so wheat images will always have a special place in my heart!
[imagelinks id=”334″]
Cutting two batches of the BotaniCuts Wheat will give you a nice, full bundle. Here I also tucked in some hot foil leaves from a set we’ll be introducing tomorrow, and topped it all off with our Put a Bow on It stamp set and matching die. The background panel was cut with the Deco Frames die.
My next three cards all use a similar color scheme. I was loving the way our new Pampas Grass set looks stamped in warm shades of tan, orange, and rosy pink!
[imagelinks id=”332″]
My first two cards are one-layer cards that use our new hot foil sentiments – Grace Upon Grace, and a Let’s Have a Word: Autumn hot foil that we’ll be officially introducing tomorrow.
My hello autumn card uses the same color scheme, again stamping the Pampas Grass images directly onto a rustic white cardstock panel. Of course I couldn’t resist adding a few ink splatters to add some extra interest. I also did just a little colored pencil shading to the pampas grass images. The ink colors used on both of these are Oxides…Tattered Rose, Victorian Velvet, Rusty Hinge, Aged Mahogany, Vintage Linen, and Frayed Burlap.
My third card of the bunch uses the same color scheme, but this time I incorporated the matching Pampas Grass dies for more dimension. I also tucked in a few stems of “grass” using the new BotaniCuts: Wheat die. I love how this die doubles as grass if you omit the beards. So pretty to tuck in amongst other things! The sentiment here is from the Blessed Blooms set we released last year.
My final card for today again uses a mix of Pampas Grass images and blades of “grass” cut with the BotaniCuts: Wheat die.
[imagelinks id=”333″]
I stamped these lovely grasses in shades of green and tan, then layered them over a panel of watercolor paper with some loose watercoloring in matching shades of green. The sentiment here is from the Cotton Comforts set. The BotaniCuts wheat/grass sprigs add just the right touch of texture to the design.
That wraps up my projects today, but we have more in store for you!
