Howl-o-ween Pupkin

  I diverted away from the Halloween cards for a hot second but... I'm back! The adorable Pupkin Die was screaming to be used from the back of my "need to make soon" bin. And it's especially fitting because my doggy, Wicket, dressed up like a little pumpkin for Halloween last year.

First I put together the Pupkin using a mix of ColorWheel Cardstock and Hero Arts cardstock. I needed a nice place for the cutie to sit, so I dug out this Trellis Window Die for him to sit in front of. The sentiment was letter pressed from the Spooky Season set.

Using the lovely Haunted Romance dies, I cut out the little spider web and the variety of bats to add around the garden gate. This little die set seems simple but it has all your Halloween necessities! I keep it front and center in my stash during spooky season. And finally, I pulled out the cute ghost from one of the Craftoween advent sets (now sold out, unfortunately!).

Here's little Wicket dressed as a pumpkin last Halloween!

Autumn Color Challenge Cards

 It is mid-October so it's time to jump into the autumn cardmaking! Concord and 9th has a fun new fall color challenge, and I decided to make a card for each color palette!

All of the cards today use the C9 Harvest Wreath Bundle. This set is like a mini turnabout, which lends itself to easily try a variety of color combos. My first color combo is Nectar, Spiced Cider, Lemongrass, and Nutmeg inks.

The cardstocks used match the ink colors. This one, I think, is the most classic autumn look.

The second color combo uses Briar Rose, Clementine, Cayenne and Avocado. The thank you sentiment was heat embossed with Brass embossing powder.

This color combo is my personal favorite of the batch, and is probably the least "autumn" looking of them all. The third card uses Tide Pool, Rainforest, Clementine, and Lemongrass.

Saving the most unique for last! This is another not-traditional color combo but I do love it so much! The last card uses the colors Clementine, Stardust, Tidepool and Pebble.

More with October Hero Studio

 The October Hero Studio is so good, I'm still playing with it! I actually have three brand new cards to share with you all today.

I entered my craft studio planning to work on a completely different project, but then I spotted some twinkle lights that I had made the other day and well... distraction! I had to keep playing with this kit.

This first card uses the disco ball from the main Card Kit, the twinkle lights from the Die Set of the month, and the lovely background stamp from the Cling of the Month.

My second card today focuses on the Whole Studio Bonus, which is the beautiful Merry Everything die set...

I love a good oversized die since it takes up so much of the card front, it means there's not much else needed! I pulled out the beautiful Kaleidoscope Snowflake cling stamp, inked with Unicorn White. Simple simple simple!

Time for the last card! This one uses the Stamp and Cut of the Month...

I did something unusual here and used traditional Christmas colors :) Kept this one simple with the gold embossing so the lovely ornaments could stand out more.

The Hero Studio kits are really stepping up their designs. They also work together very well so mixing and matching is so easy! Thanks for stopping by!
