Hey there, sweetie pie pumpkin pie!!! Hee hee. I LOOOOOOVE THIS CARD! Lolz. Is it okay for me to say that? It has everything I love: Fall, gingham, texture, warm colors, leaves, and PIE! (I'm cracking myself up here!) How was your weekend? Happy Monday! The temps have changed here and we are having cool nights and it's so amazing. The smoke from all the surrounding fires is thick in the air, so we spent all weekend inside. Which meant lots of crafting. I hope you're doing well this morning! Thank you to everyone who shared their 9/11 story on my last post. And thank you to everyone who sent me an email with warm thoughts. I'm grateful!
I keep a big bin on the counter in my craft room and I put my new/never used products in it so I can quickly find them and craft when I'm ready. This card today uses three things from the new bin! A couple of new stamps and dies from My Favorite Things, and new patterned paper for Fall. The finished card is an A2 card base from cream cardstock. Lots and lots of layers of papers, dies and textures...and colors! Usually I'll pop in some teal or aqua with my Autumn colors, but today I'm using a true blue, kind of on the dusty side, to match that blue in the patterned paper.
I chose all my papers before I did my Copic Coloring - that's a good tip for having everything match! I started the card by doing my layers: Cream card base, kraft layer, gingham layer, wrap of pumpkin paper, then an orange circle, vellum circle and textured circle. Whew.
I stamped all my images using brown ink on cream cardstock. This gives the card a warm feeling - totally different from using black ink on white cardstock. I colored everything with Copics - pumpkin, leaves and acorn. I die cut the little pie and inked the edges with distress ink. Is that not the cutest thing ever??
The textured circle is a beautiful embossing folder from Taylored Expressions. SO much pretty texture!! Love it. All the elements were attached to the front using foam circles. I used liquid glue to attach the sweetie pie word dies over everything else.
I stamped the sentiment onto a stitched rectangle (again using brown ink) and put it up in the corner of the card. I adore the mixed fonts!
Okay, sweetie pies! Take on the week! Thanks for coming by today to see my project. On Thursday I'll have two posts - two different blog hops! It's gonna be fun, so make sure to come back!! XOXO

Oh my friend, we are on the same wave... I am enjoying your blog with a cup of coffee with Pumpkin spice creamer and a lovely slice of pumpkin pie with a big scoop of Cool Whip!! Go figure... I do love everything about this card. Gingham, pie and I love that pumpkin paper, oh my. I got my haircut this morning and it feels like a million buck. Happy Week and I'll be seeing you on Thursday's post, can't wait.
