Happy Fall Y'all

Here istoday's Design Team Post over at PaperCraftingWorld.
Fall is upon us so I had to do a fall card!



I used a few different files to create my project.
I used the "Happy Fall Y'all Harvest sign DS" and the "Pumpkin Smiley DS"
the pumpkins were manipulated with pic monkey to change the sizes, flip and remove faces on some.
I also used the "Autumn title V12 CF" but I only took the leaves and cut them on the cricut in several different colors (now I have them to use with lots of other fall projects)

I used distress inks for the Green on the card base and the grass.
the pumpins and sign are Copic colored and accented with gel pens.

Love these files, so fun to make lots of projects!

Here is a 2nd version - sized 8x10" and watercolored this time.
Laminated and hung with a ribbon.
Happy Fall


Thanks for stopping by.

SMORE FUN card

Hello crafty friends, here is today's design team post over at .papercraftingworld.com

I used the Smore-Fun-CF-SET - What a cute and fun set of images.

Looking for Smore summer fun?  How about Smores?
 

I ran the frames the pink paper thru the die cut machine and used distress inks for the "picture backgrounds" 
I browned up my marshmallows with copics and glittered my fire with spectrum noir glitter pens.
I made all the chocolate let melty and did the eyes with glossy accents. 

This is one of the cutest cards I have ever made and I already have designed "Smore" cards I want to do next.   I also think this would be cute for Christmas cards and notecards as well.
