Grateful Pumpkins

I love all colors - they all have their place and time - but when it comes to the autumn season, goodness, there is nothing more luscious, warm and cozy than those deep and rich fall colors. I find them absolutely gorgeous, don't you? Karen Letchworth is with us today and the card she shares is abounding with rich autumn color and abundance.

Karen used our featured sets for her card. Seasonal Wreaths are our NEW Product of the Week. You can grab them at 20% OFF all week long. Scroll to the end of this post for all the details.

Love that distinctively autumn feel to this card.

Winter Wreath Tag

I have always loved to make tags. There is just something about a smaller, quick and easy project that speaks to me. Add a hand made tag to a wrapped gift or bag and you've turned it into something special without a lot of work. You get maximum impact for very little effort - and we like that around here!

Esther Asbury is sharing her tag/gift with us today, using our NEW Product of the Week, Seasonal Wreaths, combined with a Christmas set for so much fun. Be sure to check out our featured products at the end of this post.

This is a wrapped gift (a small book), decorated with musical paper and lace.

The wrapping is lovely in itself, but when topped off with Esther's beautiful tag it is over-the-top gorgeous!

A Fruity & Fresh Hello

And hello to all this morning. Deb Saaranen is here today sharing this crisp, very white card with bright red cherries taking center stage. She used our Fruit Series on this lovely card and that just happens to be our Product of the Week right now, through Saturday only. Get them at 20% OFF if you buy any of the sets individually OR get the full bundle of 3 sets for 30% OFF!

 We also have a BONUS Product of the Week running concurrently and it is timely shared as October is Pastor Appreciation Month. The BONUS feature is our Pastor Appreciation Series. Be sure to check out the sale details on both these lovely series at the end of this post.

Love the fresh and crisp look with a sentiment to go along with that theme, and how the red cherries just POP!

Fruit (cherries)

Fruit Sentiments (sentiment)

Love the fun placement of the die cut hexagons. The die used is a discontinued older Tim Holtz Die, but one could do something similar with just about any shaped died! Fun!!!

It's rather hard to tell in the photos, but there is Ranger Glossy Accents on the cherries to give them a lovely realisic sheen!

Thanks so much, Deb, for this lovely fruity and fun card.

Happy Birthday to my Main Squeeze

Good morning to all. Deb Felts is with us today sharing this simple and fun birthday card she made for her husband - her main squeeze! They live in the sunny state of Florida so the orange theme is absolutely perfect. It's a quick and easy to make card with the door being wide open to create so many more cards with other fruit images and sentiments!

Our Fruit Series is 1 of 2 series we have featured this week. Be sure to scroll to the end of this post to check out the sale details on both of them!

This is created in a mini slimline style.

Deb often relies on designer paper to fill in her backgrounds and it is such a quick and easy trick to employ.

Fruit (image, main squeeze)

Fruit Sentiments (happy birthday)

Fishtail Sentiment Banners (to cut sentiment)

Grunge Light (background designer paper)

Coffee or Tea? (tag designer paper)

Just plain old fun!!

And here is the inside, continuing with the fruit theme.

Fruit Sentiments (sentiment)

Thanks, Deb, for this fun and fruity birthday card!
