Blessed Thanksgiving Turkey Card

Today I’m sharing this cheerful fall card featuring one of the cute little turkeys from the new

Turkey Bundle from Conie Fong Art & Design. 

I colored this cute little guy with warm autumn tones and paired him with rich patterned papers, layered die-cut leaves, and a bold Blessed sentiment.

The combination of plaid and polka dots gives it a cozy, homespun feel—perfect for expressing gratitude this Thanksgiving season. 🍁

You can find this adorable digi and more at Conie Fong Art & Design.

Halloween Treat Bag

Hello there!

It's Saturday and time for me to share some more inspiration for this month's

Polkadoodles Craft & Card Making Challenge!

The theme is

ANYTHING GOES

 My DT inspiration project for this week is a Halloween treat bag.

The bag was made with black cardstock.

I added patterned paper from

Halloween Trick or Treat Printable Papers Bundle 2.

Ribbon handles were attached.

A shaker was made with some recycled packaging and scalloped circle die cuts.

The focal image was stamped from

Grab Your Broomstick Matchables Die Set.

I colored with Prismacolor pencils, die cut and adhered to the shaker.

Thanks for stopping by!

Watercolored Roses

 Do you have a favorite coloring medium? I think most of us do and if you’re like me it’s what I color with 99.9% of the time. But, it’s good to step out of your comfort zone every once in a while, right? It’s Judy V here and although pencil colors are my favorite coloring medium, I went with some watercoloring for this card I created for Pajama Crafter Stamps.

I started by stamping Sketched Florals Rose Stamps onto watercolor card stock with Versamark and heat embossing with black embossing powder. 

The roses, leaves and background were water colored with Tombow Dual Brush Pens, which are water based, and a water brush.

The watercolor card stock panel was trimmed to fit a black postage style die cut frame.

The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed using the Mix & Match Celebration Stamps. I trimmed the 2 words down and matted with black card stock.

My card background is a black & white patterned paper from my stash that is matted with black card stock. 

I adhered the matted paper to my white card base. Foam tape was used to adhere the framed water colored panel and the sentiment strips to the card.

So, I’m glad I stepped away from my usual coloring medium and di something different. I hope I’ve inspired you to do the same.

 A simple card design for my DT project.

I colored with Prismacolor pencils.

Backed the coloring page with some red matte metallic

and black glitter card stocks.

Stamped the sentiment with a stamp from Recollections and fussy cut.

It is place on top of a piece of ribbon tied with a knot.

The big spider is a sticker from Jolie's Boutique that

has been a part of my stash for quite a while!

DIY Halloween Tags -- Cute & Spooky

Halloween is the perfect time to get creative with paper crafts, and these handmade Halloween tags are a spooky way to add a little extra magic to your treat bags, gifts, or home décor. 

I'm here today with my latest Clear Scraps inspiration project. These tags are a quick and easy to get you in the Halloween spirit.

 

Supplies You’ll Need:

• Chipboard Pentagon Tags
• Trick or Treat Chipboard Punchout Embellishments

• Halloween patterned papers 
• Stamps & stickers 
• Sparkle pens & glitter glue
• Ribbon 
• Adhesive 
• Embellishments 
• Scissors and trimmer

Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by punching out the chipboard embellishments

Add color to the embellishments. I used sparkle pens and glitter  glue

Color the edges of the tags with sparkle pens.

Adhere patterned papers, the chipboard embellishments, any other items you like and ribbon to each tag to complete.

Tips & Tricks:

• Mix textures like glitter paper, metallic accents, and vellum for extra depth.
• Don’t be afraid to layer—dimension is what makes these tags pop!
• Match ribbon colors to your paper for a polished look.
• These tags can double as bookmarks or mini décor pieces once the treats are gone.

How to Use Them:

• Attach to Halloween treat bags for school or work.
• Tie around bottles or jars for spooky hostess gifts.
• Use as accents in a scrapbook or journal spread.
• Hang them as mini decorations on a Halloween tree or garland.

These Halloween tags are quick, fun, and give you endless creative freedom. Whether you go spooky, cute, or somewhere in between, they’ll add a handmade touch to your Halloween celebrations.

Boo-tiful Wishes

In case you haven't seen, Polkadoodles has a new download collection,

Creepy Creatures

There are 3 different sets that perfectly coordinate and they are so cute!

They are available as b/w or pre-colored.

You can purchase individual images or as bundles.

And there are some fabulous papers as well.

Cute & Creepy

Witches & Broomsticks

Creepy Things

So, today I'm sharing one of the cards I've created with this line.

I am using Ghost.

Not much coloring to do on this cutie, but I did so with Prismacolor pencils.

I fussy cut and added to a background which is one of the patterned papers from

Creepy Autumn Halloween Paper 2b.

I printed the paper twice so I could fussy cut some of the flowers and pumpkins

over the background with foam tape for some dimension.

A die cut circle frame was added for a little interest.

I printed the sentiment and trimmed.

It is from the Cute and Creepy Greetings Bundle.

If you like Halloween/Fall crafting, check this collection out!
