Autumn Pumpkin Harvest

This is a card I designed for my Sunflowers post at We Are 3.

Sunflowers and pumpkins - an Autumn tradition.  

Pumpkin Ghost

This month's Tag theme for SALSA, a local scrapbooker's group, is Frost on the Pumpkin.  I thought the file Pumpkin Ghost from Kadoodle Bug would be so cute for this.  I added some clear glitter on top of the pumpkins for frost.  I found the funky eyes in a bargain bin.  For the background, I used Happy Christmas digital papers from We Are 3.

Sweet Little Pumpkin Bear

One of my favorite challenges is a fairly new challenge - Digitally Made.  Entries must be all digital - not papercrafted.  It's a lot of fun for a change to create pretty one-layer cards - and digital works best for that.  These cards are perfect to share as Facebook greetings to all your friends.  The theme for Challenge #4 is animals - so I've added Simply Cute Bear from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

Supplies:

• We Are Thankful - We Are 3
• Lattice 2 - Monica's Creative Room
• Simply Cute Pumpkin Bear - Kadoodle Bug Designs
• Pretty Girl Brads - Digital Scrapbook Experts

Pumpkin Delight

To create the background for today's card, I took a sheet from We Are 3's August Release Pumpkin Delight - increased it's size, copied it, and rotated it so the two borders were together. To bring it together, I also used a piece of that doubled border for the strip on top. I added a strip of pumpkins, matted, added a sentiment - simple card with a lot of bang for the buck.

I'd love to see your cards using We Are 3 digital papers, so stop by their Facebook Page and share any projects using We Are 3.

Thankful Digital Papers

Hi, Everyone! 

I get so excited every time I print out digital papers from We Are 3...every paper I'm currently using is my favorite!!!!  This collection is no exception!  The Thankful Collection is made up of gorgeous autumn colors and pumpkins.  I simply love this collection, as it reminds me of my favorite season - pretty much what I miss most after moving from the Midwest to the Southwest.

Here is a second card made with leftovers.

Here is a link to the We Are 3's Etsy shop so you can take a closer look at all the gorgeous papers available.

I hope you'll download some fun papers from We Are 3!  It's fun to have more control over papers you want to use - design size, color saturation, printing as needed.  We would love to see what you all create with We Are 3 digital papers - please feel free to share y our creations with us through the We Are 3 Facebook Page. 

Paper Scraps Cards

Hi, All!

I have more Thanksgiving cards today.

I wanted to test myself to see if I possibly would be able to use up some non-traditional scraps that I had.  Generally speaking, I'm happy with the results.  

Sometimes it's fun to experiment by only using a limited amount of supplies.  It's a great way to expand those artistic skills.

Fun and Vintage Thanksgiving

Who doesn't love sketches? Perfect for card makers! Sketches make cardmaking so much fun and quick, because you can use them in a variety of ways with small variations. These cards follow Sketch #239 from Operation Write Home. Check out their blog and add your interpretation of their sketch to the linky party.

Pumpkin Raking Leaves

Hi Everyone,

As I mentioned last week, the Halloween Cardmaking season is now in full swing at my house.  Seriously, the 2 Cute Ink Halloween and Fall digi stamps are amazingly fun to work with!  With cute Halloween/Fall spiders and pumpkins and bats and cats, these digi stamps will make your cards pop! 

For today's card, I used the Pumpkin/Leaves digi stamp....and loved how this one turned out in glitter (especially the leaves).  I popped the pumpkin up with a wobble sticker.  So my pumpkin is an "action" raker.  Instructions for using glitter with digi stamps can be found here.

Here's my pumpkin "wobbling."

Supplies Used

• Pumpkin Leaves Digi Stamp
• Glitter
• Copper, Java Bean, Classic Taupe, Regal Red (Glitter Ritz)
• Cardstock - Halloween paper pack purchased on clearance at Hobby Lobby
• Action Wobble
