Cute Pumpkin handmade card idea by Julie

I started this spooky little card with a Creepy Halloween Paper from PolkaDoodles, but before hitting print, I added a few digital spider webs at a low opacity along with the “EEK!” sentiment, also from PolkaDoodles. Once printed, I added some black acrylic paint splatters to give the background a slightly messier, spookier finish, then matted the panel onto a black card base. The Stacked Pumpkin Trio image was printed separately, coloured with Copic markers, and fussy cut before being attached with a wobbler mechanism— three pumpkins now wobble and sway! For a little extra drama, I added Glossy Dots to the EEK sentiment and the pumpkins’ eyes, giving them that shiny, dimensional finish. A few sparkly bat embellishments from my stash finished everything off with just the right amount of Halloween sparkle. Cute, spooky, and it moves... I’m calling that a Halloween win!

How to create a shimmery gold Autumn card using dies and watercolours by 
Maria

Hello! Autumn is welcome to move in with me, joyfully! I absolutely love this golden season, and staying true to that theme, I’ve made leaves glow with radiant golden shine! I started by creating a watercolour background using warm brown, yellow and terracotta inks, then die-cut the leaves straight from that painted panel. You’d never guess it, but I used the 
Sweet Poinsettia flower Craft Cutting Dies for this! It works perfectly for autumn foliage too don’t you think?  For the second background, I blended yellow, orange and red inks into another soft watercolour wash, trimmed it to a strip, and layered it onto my card base. Then it was time for plenty of liquid gold! I brushed it over every leaf and flicked delicate splatters across the card for that extra sparkle.
To finish, I added a lovely sentiment from the 
Christmas & Everyday Sentiment Strip Pack because if this card doesn’t sparkle, I don’t know what does!
Here's my social media: 

Hello, crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing another autumn-inspired card but this time, featuring this oh so adorable Cute Bunny Sweeping Leaves Pre-Coloured Digi Stamp from Polkadoodles’ newest collection, Hello Autumn! For this project, I paired the digi stamp with the coordinating pattern papers from the Hello Autumn Collection. And since this was made to work together perfectly, card making is just oh so easy. Be sure to check out the Hello Autumn Collection for more adorable autumn and Halloween inspiration, and don’t forget to join the Challenge, we’d love to see what you create!

Create a pretty handmade Christmas Joy card using simple dies and stencils by Liz

Hello again! I have another Christmas card for today, using some fabulous products from Polkadoodles. I used the brilliant Joy text stencil on the base of the card with salvaged Patina distress oxide ink, then die cut the Joy dies set in silver Mirri and a blue pearlised card from. my stash.  I cut out some some Sparkling snowflakes from the dies  in the mirri card too, simply layering these up to create the finished look, some holly and berries from the Sparkling Delicate Baubles Dies in the same colours filled in a corner and continued the theme. Happy Crafting!!

Thanks so much to the design team for their gorgeous inspiration this week!
