Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Awesome Autumn Challenge! I was struggling to get in the mood for Fall this year, so I decided that I would try to combine all the things I love about the season onto one card. Pumpkins, apples, sunflowers, corn fields, crows, and colored leaves. And all that together seemed like the perfect place for a scarecrow girl to live.


I pulled together a whole bunch of stamp sets, including You Crow Girl, Happy Harvest, Apple-solutely Awesome, Crazy Antics, Critters on the Farm, Scripty Autumn Sentiments, and Big Acorn. I stamped the images in Jet Black Ink, colored them with Copic markers, and trimmed them out with their matching dies.


Then I cut down a panel of Bristol Cardstock with the largest of the Small Stitched Rounded Rectangle Stackables and blended on Distress Oxide Inks to create a background. For the sky, I used Speckled Egg along with the Cloudy Stencil. Then I stamped the corn stalk image from Happy Harvest in Scattered Straw. Finally, I used the Slimline Grassy Stencil to blend on Bundled Sage and Forest Moss. I stamped my sentiment in the top left corner.


Then I chose two prints to combine from the Falling Leaves 6×6 pad and trimmed those down with the largest of the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I glued those to a Kraft card base and popped the focal panel up over top with foam tape. Then I adhered the images with liquid glue and finished off the card with some Stardust Stickles. I also did some stamping on the inside in Walnut Ink.



If you’d like to watch the whole process of creating this card, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty! We hope you’re enjoying our Awesome Autumn Challenge. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Thank you so much for sharing with us today, Christy! Your beautiful card is filled with all the goodness of this Awesome Autumn season!

Samantha is back with another super cute and creative card to inspire you! These adorable leaves are going through some Autumn changes that are pretty awesome! Remember this is the second week of three for the Awesome Autumn challenge.


Sam used our Stitched Leaves dies for this adorable line up! She inked the leaves with Distress Oxide ink in rainbow hues then she added smiles from I Scream, You Scream, backing the leaves with Black Licorice cardstock. She also cut out arms and legs from Mr. Sun to finish the happy little leaf people!


She used Henry’s ABCs to create the greeting! Try to not hum the song in your head!


And then she created the background on a large slimline panel, stenciling Birch Trees with Distress Ink in Lost Shadow and Iced Spruce before assembling this whimsical design!

Thank you so much for sharing this absolutely charming inspiration with us, Samantha!

Mimi‘s card is quintessential Awesome Autumn with the mice having fun at a pumpkin patch! The Happy Harvest and You Crow Girl scarecrows become clever photo-op props with the help of Let’s Toast Pull-Tab Add-On.


Mimi’s creative photo op idea uses the Sweet Smiles circle stamp and the Car Critters Christmas Add-On coordinating circle die to make the opening in the scarecrows. She also made circles in the pumpkin and sunflower so the little mice from Simply Celebrate Critters can peek out!

She built the pumpkin patch scene with corn stalks, sunflowers and pumpkins from Happy Harvest, the Little Farm Fence Border and the hay bale from You Goat This.


Using the Let’s Toast Pull-Tab Add-On, more little mice pop their faces into view when the tab is pulled up! Now’s the time to snap a picture!


Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant Awesome Autumn inspiration, Mimi!
