Squidgy Pumpkin Trio

Hi Crafty Friends,
These little pumpkin cuties are ready for Halloween! I used the Stamping Bella Squidgy Pumpkin Trio stamp set to create three adorable characters dressed up in their pumpkin costumes. The Brass & Bliss Slimline OPC Scalloped Die creates the perfect frame for showing off each image.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What are your favorite Halloween colors?
A: Orange and Purple






Greeting Farm Fairy


Hi Crafty Friends,
Fall colors meet fairy magic with this sweet birthday card featuring Fairy Bday Anya from The Greeting Farm!  I went with a warm palette of oranges, golds, and autumn tones to give this adorable little fairy a cozy fall feel. The floral accents and leafy details bring everything together for a fun, seasonal birthday card.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you have a fall birthday?
A: Me? I'm a summer birthday girlie




 

Grateful for Your Friendship

Hi Crafty Friends,
Fall is all about cozy colors, pumpkins, and celebrating the people who make life a little brighter!  For this card, I combined several Therm O Web Deco Foil products to create a warm, shiny autumn design. The different foils work together to add depth and shine while keeping the whole card cohesive.  I love how the foil catches the light and makes this fall scene extra special! And the sentiment is a lovely reminder to appreciate the friendships that carry us through every season of life.

I started with the Deco Foil Card Panels by Angie Blom – Hello Fall Girls, foiling the design with Gina K. Designs Fancy Transfer Foil in Tangerine Twist for that gorgeous coppery-orange shine. I carried the same Tangerine Twist foil over to the sentiment from the Deco Foil Toner Card Fronts – Autumn Vibes Sentiments.

 

For the background, I used the Deco Foil Toner Card Fronts – Whimsical Fall and Deco Foil Transfer Sheets in Cider to bring those pumpkins and autumn details to life with a beautiful, warm golden-copper finish.  

I adhered everything together using the iCraft UltraBond Permanent Dries Clear Adhesive Pen for a clean finish.
