Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Fun with Food Challenge! This card was inspired by a sunflower field in my hometown and also my husband’s cousin, who is a beekeeper! I combined images from You’re a Keeper, Yappy Birthday Add-on, Hive Five, Simply Celebrate Hangouts, Treat Cart, Happy Harvest, You Crow Girl, and All the Speech Bubbles. I colored them with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.


For my focal panel, I cut down a piece of Bristol with the second largest Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables and did a simple watercolor wash with Salvaged Patina and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Inks. Once that was dry, I stamped the sentiment at the bottom with black ink.


Then I trimmed down some patterned paper from the Favorite Flannel Fall petite pack with the largest Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables. I glued this to a Sunflower card base, popped up the focal panel with foam tape to add a bit of dimension, and then adhered my images with liquid glue. And, of course, I had to finish things off with a bit of Stardust Stickles.


If you’d like to see the whole process of this card’s creation, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I hope you enjoy it! We can’t wait to see what you create for our Fun with Food Challenge. Have a honey of a day!

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful card inspiration with us, Christy!

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.

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!
