It's Sweater Weather!

Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!  I hope your day has been a good one.  I have a quick share today using patterned paper scraps, and if you're like me, you have enough to make many of this type of card.

To start, I've cut 3/4" strips of leftover papers from the "Fall Fun" 6x6 paper pad by Carta Bella and arranged in a fun pattern on a mat.  After I got the arrangement the way I wanted, I started adhering the strips, many of them hung over the sides, which I trimmed with scissors when finished.

I've cut 2 stitched nesting circles and stamped the sentiment, which is from a Fall Sampler Pack by Scrapbook.com, using Dark Brown ink from Catherine Pooler.  Everything has been matted with dark chocolate brown card.  Lastly, gold sequins added for shine.  

This pattern reminds me of a cozy quilt, and one I would love to make if I could actually Quilt/Sew.  That's all I have for today so until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pumpkin Hedgehogs

Hi Friends and Happy Thursday!  I'm still making Autumn themed cards and I have a quick share today featuring 2 adorable hedgehogs from Di's Digi Stamps.  They're the Pumpkin Hedgehogs and they can be found HERE, and at the time of this post, the image is 50% off regular price!

I've colored the image using Copic Markers and the patterned papers are from the "Fall Fun" 6x6 paper pad by Carta Bella.  I've followed a sketch found on Pinterest; I like using sketches when I don't want to think too hard about a design layout.

The focal image has been cut using a Nesting Circle Die from Kat Scrappiness, and the sentiment is a pre-made strip from Simon Says Stamp.  Both the focal image and sentiment strip have been popped on foam pads.  Lastly, I've added Wink of Stella to the Pumpkins and the Pumpkin cap, unfortunately I can never get Wink to show in photos.

That's all from me today, so until next time, Happy Crafting!
