Let's Fall In Love!

Karla here today, and even though it technically is still summer, but we have evidence of the Fall season all around us - school is back this week, the leaves are just hinting at turning golden yellow and there are so many cute fall stamps and papercrafting products that it's hard not to get just a wee bit excited!

When you see this adorable Harvest Happiness stamp set from Pretty Cute Stamps you'll see what I mean! I just love it - it's not just the super sweet little boy scarecrow, but there's also a sweet little girl scarecrow in this set! And, of course all the fun fall accessories - a cornstalk, hay bale and sunflower to name a few along with all the awesome sentiments....

 Harvest Happiness

I love this sweet sentiment in the set that I stamped on the front of my card - and I felt like this scarecrow couple just needed to share their love! The zig zag stitching was done with the stamp from the Sew Amazing set - it made the perfect outline around the border of my background, and the heart comes from that set too. I used some Perfect Pearls mist to spritz a bit of shimmer onto my card after I had everything placed where I wanted.

I coloured the images in with Prismacolor Markers after stamping on white cardstock I used a black pen to add some vines to the pumpkins, added some glittery Stickles and used foam dots to pop up some elements on the card.

I used the pumpkins from the Little Pumpkins set - one of my Fall 'must have' sets!

Inside, I stamped another sentiment inside a pumpkin, added another heart button and one of these awesome cornstalk stamps.

Here's a look at the other two sets I used:

Thanks so much for stopping by today to check out what I've been working on! I hope you have a lovely, happy, crafty week!!

Pick Up Your Pals

Pretty Cute Stamps' Little Pumpkin set

is a autumnal way to give your pals a little pick-me-up.

With cute sayings for friendships and halloween,

this set is not just for fall!

I focused on the ombre effect for this 

friendship card. Can you find the three uses of ombre?

1. the washi

2. the watercolored pumpkin character

3. the sequins

The sentiment isays "If Friends were Pumpkins, I'd pick you." 

(That embossing shine is a little tricky to photograph sometimes.

But I typically emboss everything!)

Ooh...I'm loving this card, espeially since I am not much of a technique crafter.

So, what is your favorite technique?

Thanks for stopping by today.

Stop at my private pumpkin patch sometime...

If Friends Were Pumpkins...

Hello friends. Who is already thinking of Halloween? I am! It is not a shocker really. With all the cute stamps that Pretty Cute Stamps has, it is easy to get started.
Today I am using the newest Little Pumpkin set.

I stamped 2 of the little pumpkins onto a scallop circle. I colored the pumpkins with my Copic makers. 

I found some Halloween pattern paper in my stash and decided to use it for my card front. I used a few different pieces to make up the front. I finished it off with a cute little paper bow.

Don't you love the sentiment?

For the inside of the card I left it simple.
I stamped the pumpkin in orange ink and then the little
Happy Halloween sentiment.

You can do so much with these little pumpkins. I will be making a lot of fall and Halloween cards with this set.

Don't forget we have out monthly challenge going on right now.
You can enter your card Here!

Have a wonderful Wednesday friends.

The Pumpkin Patch!

Karla here today, and I am sure enjoying summer, but these Little Pumpkins are really making me look forward to fall! They are so happy and cute with these adorable faces you can mix and match - how can you not smile when you look at these guys?!!

I pulled out some papers from my 6x6 paper pads to use on this card as well as using a Spellbinders frame diecut which I cut from watercolour paper. I used some Distress Inks on the frame and then spritzed with Perfect Pearls spray mist to blend the colours and give it a shimmery look.

I stamped the pumpkins on various orange patterned papers from my stash, added the faces, and used Prismacolor Markers and a white gel pen to colour in the face and stems.

I chose a Happy Halloween sentiment for my card - I'm sure a friend is going to love it when Halloween comes around! I used some of the star stamps from the Superheroes set!

Here's a close up of the set:

Didn't you just love the hop? And..wasn't the design team announcement exciting! (Scroll down a couple days if you missed it.) I am looking forward to a bigger design team. That means more smiles, laughs...and inspiration using Pretty Cute Stamps!

Here is another card that uses BOTday...

Apparently I am on a blue/orange kick these days.  It's just such a fun color combo!!

I addedso me metal ringed tags...along with a button swag there.  The recipient can easily unclip it from the card...a mini giftie!

Do you see the Awesome Arrow peeking in the back? 

It's a great set that adds a little flair to any card.

If you don't have it, you MUST add it to your shopping card.

Remember, you have another day or so to buy sets from the August release for 30% off!

So..what are the top 3 sets on your wish list from the new release?

I had to get the Little Pumpkins set!

The "Give them pumpkin to talk about" was so clever!  

I made a card and will post it on Tuesday on my blog,

Sunnyside Up.

I hope you'll pop a squat over on my blog soon!!
