A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop "Autumn Abundance"

The time has arrived for another A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop. This past month's Autumn Abundance Kit is fantotallytastic!! Here are just two of my alternative projects that feature bits and pieces from the Kit and a few added supplies. 

My first card here includes a half sheet of Misty Moonlight cardstock, Natural Tones Linen Thread, and Adhesive Backed Metallic Gems. Once I trimmed one of the Kit's card bases down to size I splattered it with a bit of Wild Wheat and SU100 Stampin' Blends and then ran it through the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.

For this card I only used the Kit pieces except for a shoestring bow of Natural Tones Linen Thread.

#TGIF493 Classic October Colors

Orange and black are to me the most iconic October colors. Trends come and go and we see fun color combinations for the fall. Yet still, black and orange stand supreme as THE colors for the season. Over at #TGIF493 we are combining Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, and Very Vanilla.

I put together a simple card that features shades of Pumpkin Pie die cut leaves and a quick greeting. I used the leaf from the Every Celebration set of Dies to cut my leaves and then colored with them with Pumpkin Pie and Peach Pie Stampin' Blends to get a variety of pumpkin tones. I backed the line up of leaves with a panel of Very Vanilla that was dry embossed with the Forever Plaid 3D Folder.
