Product used:

•  the ghosts, pumpkin and striped trim are from the Cute Halloween designer paper in the Holiday catalog.  See it here. 
• I punched one of the ghosts and the pumpkin with the Halloween punch. It's in a bundle with the Cutest Halloween set seen here or on page 51, which is where the greeting is from. *Sadly the Halloween punch is now on back-order until November!
• the wreath & bats are die-cut with the Seasonal Swirl dies seen here & Black Glimmer paper in the annual catalog; seen here
• the ombre background is actually Fresh Freesia CS, with Misty Moonlight & Night of Navy added with our Blending Brushes *watch the video below
• Cute Stars Adhesive-backed sequins are also added to the wreath

Check out the ghostly treat box in the photo above.  It's so simple to make with the Pretty Pillow box dies!

Save

The stitched tag is also in the Pretty Pillow Box dies.  Look how it latches – the scalloped front slips in behind the tag in front.  I love that I don't need a special way to keep it closed; the tag does it for me!

Check out the other version I made with the fun skeletons on the right?  I fussy cut them from the Cute Halloween paper.

I haven't shared this for awhile so here it is; my favorite cutting template especially for inside a card.  Get 5 pieces from one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock. If you're making multiples this can save you a lot!

Below is the video.  I make another project using Sparkle of the Season before this one. Fast forward to about 22 minutes in to see this neat Halloween card.

• Pumpkin Patch pop-up Fun Fold card

  September 25, 2024

  ---

  Paula made this super special fun-fold card for our September Team card swap: 

  Save

  Can you see how the framed scene is lowering as the card is opened?  She cased this idea from Creating with Kristina who cased it from Sharon Armstrong.  

  The colors are Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Mossy Meadow and White. Her DSP is from the Take to the Sky pack. The dies to create the frame are called Countryside Corners dies and can be seen here. 

  Save

  Isn't that neat?!  It's been awhile since I've made one of these types of cards but her card inspires me to make one.  

  This stamp set is called Pumpkin Patch and is part of our Online Exclusives.  See it here. 

  Save

  If you look closely at the stamped scene you can tell that she masked her pumpkins & fence. Her sponged sky & grass sure add to the realistic scene!  So well done!

  Today I'm sharing a really neat fall themed card swap made by Lori. It's so pretty!

  Save

  She used the Autumn Expressions bundle seen here.  It has the neatest double frame die plus the chain, pretty leaves and more. 

  She used the gorgeous Splendid Autumn DSP for her textured background and also for the scene inside the hanging frame. This DSP is unavailable right now; it should be back sometime this week.  You can see it here. 

  Save

  Don't you love the foil frame and hanging chain?!  

  Measurements: 

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2"
  • Crushed Curry 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Textured DSP 3 3/4" X 5" 
  • Vanilla inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" 

  Can you see how the frame lifts up?  It reveals the back of the DSP on top and the stamped greeting inside. 

  Save

  I love the pretty greetings in this set.  And below you can also see the dies that are included. The frame folds on the scored hinge but you can use it alone too. 

  Save

  Here's the inside view.  Her colors include Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow, Vanilla & copper from the Textured Metallic specialty paper seen here. 

  Save

  Next is another pretty card made by Marla. She also used the Splendid Autumn Designer paper for this fun fold card. 

  Save

  One 6" X 5 1/4" DSP piece is cut into 3 pieces to create this neat card.  

  Measurements: She scored her 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" Cajun Craze card base as follows: 2 1/8" and 2 1/4". The DSP and Vanilla layers are all 2" X 5 1/4".  The best thing about these scenic cards is how the scene continues as you open the card. So be sure to cut and adhere the pieces in order.  

  The greeting is from Thoughtful Journey; the leaf images are from You are Beautiful & maybe Irresistible Blooms.
