Autumn Greetings Card - Printable Cuttable Creatables

       Hello, my friends! Happy Fall!

It's time for a new project share for Printable Cuttable Creatables!

I am loving the cooler temperatures and ALL that is FALL!
So I just had to create a Fall card! 

I have used:

 Autumn Greetings SVG Cut File,
 
and Autumn Harvest Digital Paper Pack.

Here's my project:

For me...plaid just goes hand in hand with Fall (Christmas too)!
So I used this lovely plaid paper from the collection for my background.

This is such a lovely/intricate cut!
In Cricut Design Space, I sized it to fit my card.
Then it was simply a matter of cutting and gluing.
I did do a little inking of the pumpkin stem, and around the plaid paper.
 

To finish everything off I added some pretty sparkly sequins!

There are SO MANY fabulous Fall files in the shop!
I'll be using more of them in the months ahead!

Pumpkin Season Tag for Emerald Creek Craft Supplies

Hello, my friends!

I'm back with another fun project for Emerald Creek Craft Supplies! 

There are only a few hours left in our Fall season,
so I thought I better hurry and share this one now.

It's really hard to believe that Winter begins later today here in Saskatchewan.
Our weather, and view out the window, are definitely more Fall then Winter!

Here's my tag:

My tag base is cut from matboard, and covered with a decorative paper.

The fence image was stamped onto the background.
The edges are all inked, and a piece of ribbon was threaded through the top.

The leaves and pumpkins were stamped with embossing ink,

and then heat embossed with the Gothic Black Gilding Powder.

The images were then coloured with the fabulous Kaleidoscope Watercolours.

I LOVE these watercolours! They are so rich and creamy!

I only had red, blue and yellow (links below),
so I had lots of fun mixing the colours into green and orange.

Once the images were dry, I adhered them in place with foam tape.

Finally, I added some adorable charms to a bulb pin,

and threaded it through the ribbon.

Emerald Creek Craft Supplies Used:

Powders:

Gothic Black Gilding Powder by Quietfire

Stamps:

Leaf Corner Cling Mount Stamp;

Not Wired Cling Mount Stamp;

Pumpkin Patch Cling Mount Stamp.

Kaleidoscope Watercolours:

Bulb Pin.

Fall Scene Mixed Media Canvas for Emerald Creek Craft Supplies

 Hello, my friends!

I'm back to share another Emerald Creek DT project with you today!

I had so much fun putting this together, using great products from the shop!

Here's what I made:

Here's how I did it:

I've had both this 6 x 6 canvas, and the leaf patterned tissue paper,

in my stash for years. It was time to use them in a project. 
I began by tearing pieces of the tissue paper...with no rhyme or reason.

I then used a paintbrush and matte medium to adhere them to the canvas.

I made sure to wrap the sides with tissue as well.

I then found a piece of plain kraft colored tissue.
It didn't quite match the leaf pattern tissue - but it didn't matter.
I then gathered up my Emerald Creek stamps (links below).

Using Jet Black Archival Ink, I stamped the images onto the tissue.
I did several of each while I was at it.

I then tore around the images, 

and adhered them in place using the matte medium.
During this process it's easy to get wrinkles in the surface.

I took out any that interfered with the image, but I left the others in.

It adds some really nice texture.

Once everything was dry, I coated it with a layer of embossing ink.

I then sprinkled it liberally with the Clear Fine Gloss Embossing Powder.

Then I hit it with my heat gun, until it was all evenly melted.

Here's the first coat:

I repeated this process two more times.
Here's a look at the canvas after three coats of the clear.
Isn't that a beautiful shine?

Before the last coat was completely set, I sprinkled some of the

Caramel Rock Candy by Pam Bray in the areas that I wanted it,

and again hit it with my heat gun.
This was my first time using this product.
I was hoping it would look like the rocky, gravely areas

that we often see at abandoned farm yards.
It's a great product, and very easy to use. 

I just kept sprinkling it on until it looked the way I wanted it to. 

Finally, when everything was set and cooled, I added a couple of embellishments.
I tied some jute knots to a metal band, and adhered it in place.

Then I did the same with an adorable Squirrel Charm from the shop.

Here's a closer look:

Doesn't that Rock Candy add some fabulous texture?

This was such a fun combination of products to play with!

Now I have a lovely Fall Scene Canvas to decorate my home for the season!

The sentiment is so fun!

I did a little bit of sparkle to the leaves

Isn't that sentiment wonderful?
It perfectly describes my world right now! :o)

Give Thanks with Printable Cuttable Creatables

  Hello, my friends!

Today I'm sharing a new project for Printable Cuttable Creatables!

With the Fall/Thanksgiving Season fast approaching,
and with a new dining room to decorate,
I decided to make a home decor piece!

This could easily be adapted to a card, or layout, or anything else you want to make.

 

Here's my project:

I began with a very heavy weight cardstock square that measures 8 1/2".

I then printed out the green gingham paper, 

from the Autumn Basics Digital Paper Pack,

 and cut it at 8" square.

I adhered it in place on the cardstock base.

I then cut the Autumn Flower Wreath Frame SVG File to fit,

and adhered all the pieces in place.

I then cut out just the words from the Give Thanks Title file.
They are such a lovely, skinny script, and look great in the center of the wreath.

Here's a closer look at the flowers:

To finish off my project I added the 3D Bow.
Some projects just aren't finished until you put a bow on them! ;o)

This bow file is free and just the final touch to my project.
I cut it from another one of the papers from the Autumn Basics Digital Paper Pack.

I cut it, inked the edges, assembled it, and added it in place on the top of my wreath.

This was another really fun project to make!
There are so many wonderful Fall themed files in the shop,
and they all work beautifully together!

Pink Monarch Prints - Autumn Loaded Envelope Pages

 Hello, my friends!

As many of you know, I love to make Fall projects!
I also try to make a new album, in one form or another, every year!
I usually combine Fall with Thanksgiving when I can.

Our Canadian Thanksgiving was back in October
but I'm squeaking this one in right before the US Thanksgiving.
However, as I always say, every day is Thanksgiving Day for me! :o)

This year I have decided on an album with a ring binding
and kraft cardstock pages.

Today I'm sharing my first pages and I'll be back with more soon. 
These pages were all decorated with digital products from Pink Monarch Prints.
I used the Autumn Loaded Envelope Kit.
This kit is jam-packed with tags, pockets, cards and more. 
They're so fun to play with and you can mix and match any way you want.

Here's what I did:

Above, you can see the envelope all put together on my kraft page.

Below, you can see everything pulled out.
I added a piece of lace for a tag pull,
and a strip of brown packing paper for another one. 
I also added a little bit of cheesecloth behind some layers.
Everything else is from the kit.

Here's the second page:

Again, here's everything pulled out.
This time I added another lace tag pull.
I added a small brad to the top of the "giving"
and put a garment pin through it.
I also added some small burlap bits. 

Here's my third and final page:

Here's everything pulled out.
I added only some bits of brown packing paper,
using one for a tag pull again.

 These pages were so much fun to put together!

I printed all the kit pages, and fussy cut everything out. 

I inked all the edges with distress ink.

Then I just had fun assembling everything the way I wanted.

All the pieces were included in the kit,

other than the items mentioned.

I'm excited to share that I have been invited to join
the Pink Monarch Prints Design Team!
So I'll be sharing lots more of these great files in the days ahead!

My Scrap Chick - Fall Policy Envelope Album

 Hello, my friends!

Today I have a fun new project share for My Scrap Chick!

I've made what I'm calling my Fall Policy Envelope Album.

I've done this by using pieces from these files:

Trifold card and Envelope,

Fall Acorn Card,

and Fall Sentiments Print and Cut.

Here's the cover:

When I recently made my Trifold Card and Envelope Set,

the envelope inspired me to make this project.

I enlarged the envelope,

and folded it up so the end was open instead of the top.

The "Fall" came from the Fall Acorn Card.

It's such a pretty script!

I made a total of five envelopes for my pages.

I bound them with my Bind-It-All.

I matted them on the front and back with decorative papers.

I punched circles, and added them with brads,

to form a flap closure.
 

My pages were decorated with the Fall Sentiments Print and Cut,

and the Tim Holtz Skeleton Leaf Die.

Here's a closer look:

Here is the back cover:

Each pocket is filled with a large tag.

I punched the corners with a leaf punch, and added a file tab.

The back of each is cream coloured, so it would be a great spot for journaling.

Lots of room for photos in this album too.

Here's a look at the tags in all the pretty Fall colours!

My Scrap Chick Products Used:

Trifold card and Envelope,

Fall Acorn Card,

and Fall Sentiments Print and Cut.

Other Materials Used:

Recollections Thankful Heart Collection;

Recollections Pumpkin Spice Cardstock;

Recollections Fall Embossed Paper Pad;

Tim Holtz Skeleton Leaves Die;

Martha Stewart Fall Leaves Corner Punch;

McGill File Tab Punch;

Fiskars 1" Circle Punch;

Walnut Stain Distress Ink.
