I added a piece of brown card stock to a white card. Using these Postage Stamp Nesting Dies, I die cut a piece of patterned paper and attached it to the card. The stamped image is attached to the card with foam tape. I finished the card by adding 3 gold sequins.
A perfect little card for a Fall birthday, Thanksgiving, or just a little Fall hello. 🍁🍂

This Mini Fall Pallet is easy and quick to make. You’ll need the pallet along with a small wood pumpkin cutout, a fall wood word cutout, a few fall leaf embellishments, fall scrapbook paper, Mod Podge, and white and brown paint. I had all my supplies in my craft stash, but you can find the pumpkin, similar wood words, and little leaves at Hobby Lobby or Dollar Tree.
First, trace the pumpkin on the back of the scrapbook paper and cut it out. Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the pumpkin and attach the paper. Then apply a thin layer of Mod Podge over the top. Once dry, using a stiff brush, add brown paint to the edges of the pumpkin.
Apply white paint to the pallet, not covering it completely to give it a bit of a rustic look. Paint the words with brown paint.
Using E6000 clear adhesive, attach the pumpkin and leaves to the pallet. The words are attached to the pumpkin with foam tape.
The Mini Fall Pallet is the perfect size for your tiered tray or to tuck into your fall decor just about anywhere. 🍁🍂

I used Yarn Bee Cozy Occasions yarn in the colors Happilicious and Back to School with an L/8mm crochet hook to stitch up my tote bags. It’s a super bulky (6) weight yarn and it’s so soft and squishy.
You can find the pattern below along with links to free PDFs – one with photos and one without – if you’d like to easily print it.

I die cut a piece of turquoise card stock with these Scallops & Rectangles Nesting Dies and attached it to a white card. I added a piece of patterned paper to the card and attached the mouse image to the card using foam tape. I stamped the sentiment with black ink on white card stock, trimmed around it, and attached it to a banner die cut from orange card stock using these Scallops & Banners Nesting Dies. The banner is attached to the card using foam tape.

I was inspired by {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 74 at Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers to create my Christmas card for this month.
October is breast cancer awareness month. I created the Crochet Mary Infinity Scarf in memory of my sweet friend Mary who lost her brave battle against breast cancer just a couple of months ago. 💕
Mary was beautiful inside and out, kind, loving, talented, funny, and trusted in Jesus. She is loved and missed by so many.💕

I chose to stitch up the Crochet Mary Infinity Scarf in pink for breast cancer awareness month, but of course you can make it in any color.
Most of us have been touched by breast cancer in one way or another. We either have or had it ourselves, someone we love is fighting it right now, someone we love has won the fight against it, or we’ve lost someone we love to it.
Ladies, get your mammogram! Early detection is key to treatment and there are new treatment discoveries every day. Keep fighting!💕
How cute is this little ghost relaxing a bit before heading out to Trick or Treat for some yummy candy?!?! 👻

Using these Scallops & Squares Nesting Dies, I die cut around the image. I added light blue ink to the piece using a blender brush. Then I stamped the “boo” sentiment onto the piece. This is a really old stamp that is no longer available, but you can use one of the sentiments in the stamp set or any of your favorite Halloween sentiments in your collection.
To make the card, I die cut purple card stock with these Deckle & Stitches Nesting Dies and attached it to a white card. I embossed a strip of orange card stock with a diamond dot embossing folder and attached it to the card. The stamped piece is then attached over the top.
It’s so fun to make up little Fall Treat Bags. They are perfect for Halloween, Fall parties, classroom treats, or favors for place settings on your Thanksgiving table. 🧡🎃🦃

I made simple tags for my treat bags using a couple of stamps I’ve had in my collection forever. Both are no longer available, but you can use any of your favorite Fall images and sentiments.
I stamped my pumpkin with orange ink on white card stock and punched around it with a 2.5 inch circle punch. I stamped the sentiment on the pumpkin with dark brown ink. I layered the stamped piece to a 3 inch scalloped circle punched from orange card stock. I used my Crop-a-Dile to punch a hole at the top of the tag.
Just FYI, if you have a Costco membership, it’s a great place to get a huge 90-92 ounce bag of fun size chocolate candy bars or funhouse treats (Twiizzlers, Air Heads, Nerds, etc.) for around $25. 😋

Simply print the PDF on white card stock and cut the tag into any shape you like – I used these Scallops & Arches Nesting Dies for my tag. Then I punched a small hole in the tag and tied it to the scrubby using natural twine.
This little ghost is so cute – and not scary at all! 🧡 She’s sending ghost hugs for sweet Halloween wishes.

I die cut around the image using these Scallops & Arches Nesting Dies, and applied dark gray ink to the edges using a blender brush. I layered the image to orange patterned paper die cut with these Deckle & Stitches Nesting Dies. I attached a piece of pumpkin patterned paper, die cut with the same set, to a white card and attached the stamped image towards the bottom right corner. I stamped the sentiment with black ink on white card stock and die cut around it with the same Deckle die set. I added dark gray ink to the edges of the sentiment piece with a blender brush and attached it to the card using foam tape.
This is a simple card that comes together in just a few minutes with very little coloring. I love how she turned out! 🧡
