Halloween

Handmade autumn card with three shaded orange pumpkins, a dark green frame, leafy patterned paper, an orange Rustic Check embossed background, a small bow, and a “Hey” sentiment

There’s something so cozy about pumpkins and warm autumn colors! Today’s card features the Stampin’ Up! Painted Pumpkins Bundle including the stencils, and the Rustic Check Embossing Folder for a fall card with plenty of texture.

The little “Hey” sentiment makes this a card you can send just because. Who would enjoy finding a handmade hello in their mailbox?

Soft shading with stencils

These three pumpkins have different shapes and so much personality! Sponging ink through the stencils creates soft color, while deeper shading gives the pumpkins dimension. The lighter lines help define each pumpkin’s sections.

When sponging, start with a light touch and gradually build the color. You can always add more ink! A little ink around the edges of the white panel adds to the card’s rustic feel.

The finishing touches

A small bow on the tall pumpkin and a few Radiant Gems embellishments finish the card without taking attention away from the stenciling. The shaded “Hey” label ties everything together.

This design would also be lovely with a thank-you, thinking-of-you, or Thanksgiving sentiment. Use what you have and make it your own!

🚜National Farmer’s Day

Pinterest pin featuring a handmade red barn card with doors that open, a colorful barn quilt, a pig, flowers, and a cow peeking out. Text reads, “Barn Doors That Really Open!”

Happy National Farmers Day!

I totally relate to National Farmer’s Day because I grew up on a 10-acre hobby farm. We raised steers and rabbits, always had dogs running around, and grew a huge garden. I was also involved in 4-H for nine years, where I learned many valuable skills and learned to work hard.

What 4-H Stands For

  • Head: Clearer thinking and decision-making.
  • Heart: Greater loyalty, empathy, and leadership.
  • Hands: Larger service and practical skills.
  • Health: Better living and physical well-being. [1]

My barn quilt is simple, but I had to put one on my barn card. Barn Quilts are a thing in Iowa. Here’s a real life example below.

But the best part of this card is the surprise hiding inside…

The barn doors really open!

When you swing them apart, a sweet little cow is waiting to greet you. Isn’t that fun? Interactive cards always bring an extra smile, and these working barn doors give this card such a delightful wow factor.
