Pumpkin Kisses & Harvest Wishes

Fall crafting is in full swing, and this card is all about celebrating the cozy colors, delicious treats, and beautiful leaves of the season! The rich Cajun Craze and Gold Foil combination gives this card a warm, elegant autumn feel, while the fun images from the Harvest Hues Mix & Match Ephemera Pack add plenty of personality.

The card base is made with Cajun Craze cardstock, layered with a Gold Foil panel and a Cajun Craze top panel. The Cajun Craze top panel was embossed using the fall-themed embossing folder from the Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folders, creating a beautiful background filled with subtle seasonal texture.

For a little extra detail, I used one of the Tile Garden Dies to cut three squares from a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock. Each square was then topped with an image from the Harvest Hues Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. I love how these little framed images—especially the cozy coffee cup, book surrounded by leaves, and slice of pie—bring the feeling of a crisp fall day right to the card front!

The focal point is the “Pumpkin Kisses & Harvest Wishes” sentiment from the Harvest & Holly Mix & Match Specialty Ephemera Pack. It was layered onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals, giving it some added dimension and making it stand out beautifully against the embossed background.

To finish the front, I scattered several leaves from the Harvest Hues Mix & Match Ephemera Pack around the design. The leaves add just the right amount of extra color and help tie all the individual elements together.

A Little Fall Inside

The inside of the card features a Basic White cardstock panel adhered to the Cajun Craze card base. The sentiment and coordinating leaves are from the Fun For Fall stamp set and were stamped in Cajun Craze ink.

I love adding a little stamping to the inside of my cards—it gives the recipient a special surprise when they open the card and makes the entire design feel complete.

This card is a wonderful example of how combining embossing, Mix & Match Ephemera, metallic accents, and traditional fall colors can create a card that feels both handmade and beautifully finished.

So grab your favorite fall crafting supplies, pour yourself a pumpkin spice latte, and enjoy a little autumn crafting!

Pumpkin kisses and harvest wishes to you!

Happy Halloween Spider Card

Hi friends! Halloween is creeping up on us fast, and I've got a fun one to share today. This card was inspired by a sample I spotted online in the Web of Fun samples — I loved the graphic, high-contrast look so much that I had to make my own version. Black, White, and Pumpkin Pie is one of my favorite Halloween color combos, and this project let me play with dies, stamps, embossing, and even a little hand-drawn detail all on one card.

I started with a Basic Black cardstock card base, then added a Basic White cardstock panel that I ran through the Halloween themed folder from the Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folders for a subtle, spooky texture in the background — you can just catch little bats and stars catching the light.

For the "HALLOWEEN" part of the sentiment, I backed that same white top panel with Adhesive Sheet and then cut the letters directly out of the panel using one of the Web of Fun dies, so the black card base peeks through and does all the work — no extra layering needed. For "Happy," I cut that word from Pumpkin Pie cardstock (also backed with Adhesive Sheet first) using a coordinating die from the same Web of Fun set, and tucked it in above "Halloween" for a fun overlap.

A little Web of Fun spider, die-cut from Basic Black cardstock, dangles in the upper corner. His "web" is actually a single strand of Black thread pulled from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack — I untwisted a piece of the twine to get one fine thread, which gives it a much more delicate, realistic look than a thicker line would.

For the finishing touches, I scattered on some Adhesive-Backed Bats, Ghosts & Dots for accent. To get Pumpkin Pie Dots, I colored in few Basic White dots with a Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blend before adhering — just a little trick to stretch one set of dots into two shades without buying two products.

Keeping with the black, white, and pumpkin pie theme, the inside starts with a Pumpkin Pie panel adhered right to the Basic Black card base, topped with a Basic White panel. I stamped "Trick or Treat" from the Oh My Fright stamp set in Basic Black Hybrid ink for a crisp, solid sentiment, then added the spider web and spider from the Web of Fun stamp set, also in Basic Black Hybrid ink.

This time, instead of thread, I drew the spider's web line by hand with a Black Stampin' Journaling Pen — such a simple detail, but it adds a nice handmade touch and ties the inside back to the thread detail on the front.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I had so much fun mixing dies, stamps, embossing, and hand-drawn details into one card — it's amazing how many techniques can live on a single project. If you give this one a try, I'd love to see it. Happy stamping, and Happy Halloween!
