Happy Friday! I've been having so much fun playing with the new Painted Pumpkins bundle. I had forgotten that this bundle included stencils so you can color your pumpkins. And the stencils included this amazing leaf background design too. Using my blending brush, it was easy to color in the leaf stencil. I tried to make the leaves look like they have variations in color, just like real leaves. I think I did okay with this step. I'm not sure … [Read more...] about Hello Gourd-geous!

Painted Pumpkins
Now that it's October, I don't feel the least bit guilty about getting out the pumpkins, the Painted Pumpkins bundle. I'm pretty excited about this bundle. The pattern paper is absolutely stunning. It has the usual orange and rust colors, but it also includes colors like this beautiful pool party, which is definitely not a traditional Fall color. I've got several more projects with this bundle ready to share. You are going to love this … [Read more...] about Painted Pumpkins

One More Card…
Using up the last couple of leaves leftover from the wreath, I made one more card. I'm going to be tucking away this stamp set for now after this card. I can't wait to start working with the other Fall stamp set I purchased. I'll be sharing those projects very soon. The Glow of Harvest pattern paper that I used was one of our past Products of the Month. I just checked and it is still available in our online store even though it was released … [Read more...] about One More Card…
Happy Fall
I wanted to use up those leaves I punched out last week and this is what I came up with. It's an adorable mini wreath about 8" across. I didn't quite use all of the punched leaves, but I did use most of them. Once I had a my leaves ready to go, making the wreath went pretty quickly. I used a hot glue gun to attach everything to the wood wreath. Now I have a lovely Fall decor piece, ready to hang up on my wall. Simple Leaf … [Read more...] about Happy Fall
A Little Carried Away
I just couldn't help myself. I had that fabulous leaf punch sitting out on my desk and just started punching out leaves in different colors and pattern papers. I love how they all look mixed together. I'm not sure what I'm going to make yet, but I think I might need more leaves in more colors. What do you think? What other colors should I use? Simple Leaf Punch - 168164 Price: $25.00 Crumb Cake 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) … [Read more...] about A Little Carried Away
Happy Fall!
Fall has officially started. And let me tell you, I can already feel the change in temperature. Hooray! We had a brutally hot August here in SoCal so I'm hoping we'll get a nice mild Fall. I still had my Simply Leaves bundle on my desk and I needed a simple thank you card to send to a friend. Stamps and punches to the rescue! I don't always remember that I can stamp on our pattern paper, but when I do I love the look of it. I used one … [Read more...] about Happy Fall!
