It’s the beginning of the month so it’s patterned paper play … and as the weather is telling us it is very much autumn I grabbed the Scenic Pumpkin Patch stamps again to make these cards using old Making Cards magazine papers for some cute autumnal themed cards.

I did stick the camera on to record so if you fancy watching them get made please check out my YouTube channel.

This one is so bright and cheerful but clearly still autumn themed with the pumpkins and the leaves on the paper. I was struggling with this one a little until I brought in the yellow and then I was happier with the combo.
I did some sewing on both cards – just fancied adding a little hand sewn element on each.

I also added card Candi to both with the dotty Candi which I thought was cute.

I used stitched framelits for both cards – particularly liked choosing the ovals for this – not a shape I use often – so it makes a nice change.

On this one I inked the edge of the base cardstock for both the background and the die cut topper element in green which was a nice contrast to the orange elements on the papers and pumpkin images.
I also chose to create a scene for the focal point.

For both cards I used a sentiment from the Beautiful Flowers SSS set which I just love as it’s simple but classy!
Love my cute little autumnal cards – they were good fun to make and nice to get some more of that old paper used up!
Also confession time – I made these a few weeks ago and thankful I did because it has been crazy busy recently and not managing to get to finish projects recently!
Happy crafting!

Great way to use up your patterned papers!
Thank you xxx
Fabulous cards Catherine and great that you are managing to use up some more patterned paper. I love your enthusiasm.I need to use more of what I have but there’s always nice new shiny things. Off to a craft show at Lincoln Showground on Sunday I’ll try and be good! TraceyA x
Being good is overrated! Hope you have a good time at the show. I must admit I have let some new papers into the house recently but still on my mission to get some of these old papers out and used! X
