“Autumn Leaves & Pumpkin Please” Album

Autumn Leaves & Pumpkins Please Album

Autumn Leaves & Pumpkins Please

I love all the beautiful colors of Fall.

As the saying goes, Fall is my favorite color.

They make such a bright and cheery Fall album.

This simple album is the perfect place to add all your apple picking,

leaf peeping, trick-or-treating pictures this Fall.

The “Autumn Leaves & Pumpkins Please” album was made using

Eileen Hull’s Field Notes Journal Die by Sizzix*.

I used paper from Echo Parks “Fall Fever” Collection*.

Autumn Leaves & Pumpkins Please Album

A few tidbits of information:

  • Before I die-cut the mat board, I like to use the Xyron Creative Station* to add adhesive to the back of the paper.  It gives the paper a complete layer of adhesive with no bubbles.  It really is easy to use.
  • The spine of the album comes with three sections.  I cut the first section off to make the album thinner.  It leaves two holes to add binding.
  • I wanted to try something different with how I added the pages to my album.  I inserted two mini book rings through the holes to hold my pages.
  • The mini book rings are approx. ¾” and with a little maneuvering they fit in the two side holes.
  • I used the cut off section to mark where I would need to punch the holes on my pages.

I wanted to make my album vertical instead of horizontal.

I love how versatile the Field Notes Die* is.

Autumn Leaves & Pumpkins Please Album

I created the word “autumn” using a Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*.

I cut it the letters out using StyleTechCraft Gold Chrome Vinyl*.

How to make a Mini Fall Charcuterie Board

  • I like to use StyleTechCraft adhesive vinyl to customize everything I can.  It’s so fun and satisfying.  But there are a few instances where vinyl isn’t the only option.  Did you know you can use your cut files with vinyl to create custom stencils?
  • I used an SVG cut file, my Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*, and StyleTechCraft Matte Removable Vinyl* to create the perfect fall stencil for my mini cutting board project.

How to make a Mini Fall Charcuterie Board

  • I gave the cutting board and leaf a light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper.

  • I rubbed Walnut Gel Stain* on both sides of the leaf.  It will make a great package tag.

How to make a Mini Fall Charcuterie Board

  • Lay the Transfer paper over the vinyl and gently rub with a vinyl scraper tool.  Make sure all the little inside letter pieces transfer.
  • Place the Vinyl Transfer Tape* and vinyl onto the wood pieces.  Rub over Vinyl Transfer Tape* and gently remove from the vinyl.

How to make a Mini Fall Charcuterie Board

  • Paint the inside area of the vinyl with Black Multi-Purpose Acrylic Paint*.  (You may need two coats.)
  • Carefully remove the vinyl from the wood.  Use a sharp point to remove the vinyl from the inside of the lettering.
  • Once the lettering is fully dry, lightly sand to smooth the design.

How to make a Mini Fall Charcuterie Board

The black paint makes it look like it has been wood burned.  (but it’s not!)

I debated back and forth whether to seal the wood or not.

I didn’t know if it mattered for use.

I used a Multi-Purpose Sealer* on both the board and the leaf.

I reasoned that the board is more decorative than it is utilitarian.

So, it was just a matter of preference.

Mini Fall Charcuterie Board

Wouldn’t it look cute with a mini loaf of pumpkin bread?  

Just wrap it up with a ribbon and add the Hello Fall Tag for an

adorable Fall Hostess Gift.

Or use it for a mini party for two.

  • Paint the shadow box with Royal Ruby Metallic Paint*.
  • Lightly sand over the paint using an extra fine sanding block*.
  • I felt the Metallic Paint was a little too metallic for me, so I went over the paint with a light coat of walnut gel stain.  Wipe off the stain with a soft rag.

Fall Floral Stained Glass Card

Fall Floral Stained Glass Card

Fall Floral Stained Glass Card made with the Sizzix Skinny Mini Elements Thinlet Die by Eileen Hull.

I was lying in bed the other night when I got the idea for this card.

(That’s when I get some of my best ideas.)

It was perfect for the Eileen Hull Card Bonanza Month over on her blog.

Xyron Creative Station

The Fall Floral Stained-Glass Card is a fairly simple card to make.

The one thing that made this card easy was using my Xyron Creative Station*

on the cardstock before die-cutting.

Fall Floral Stained Glass Card

Directions:

  • Cut a piece of gold cardstock slightly larger than the Skinny Mini Elements Die* to use as the base of the card.
  • Choose a dark gray cardstock for the outline and three pieces of fall-colored cardstock for the inside pieces.
  • Place the cardstock into the Xyron Creative Station* and crank the handle to run the paper through the machine. The Xyron Creative Station* adds a complete layer of adhesive to the cardstock making each little piece a sticker. That made assembling the card simple or “simple-ish.”
  • Place the die on the cardstock and die-cut the gray and the fall-colored paper using a Sizzix Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine*.
  • Trim the gray paper to the size of the die.  Remove and discard all the tiny inside pieces using a craft pick*.  Remove the protective liner from the back of the cardstock and center it onto the gold cardstock layer.
  • Use a craft pick* to place the inside flower pieces from the colored cardstock.

Fall Floral Stained Glass Card

  • Finish creating your flower pattern and add several cardstock layers to a cream card.
  • Add a sheer cream bow.

Fall Floral Stained Glass Card

There’s so much more that you could add to the card, like a greeting or a small tag.

But I decided to keep it simple. (or as I mentioned before…”simple-ish”.)

Fall Floral Stained Glass Card

I thought I was finished with this card.

But then again, sometimes things just evolve.  

A stained-glass card needed rhinestones.

I added Clear Enamel Dots from Hero Arts* to the center of each flower.

How to make a Welcome Autumn Pillow using craft vinyl to make the Stencil

Welcome Autumn Pillow

Welcome Autumn Pillow  

I have been wanting to use vinyl to create a stencil for a while now.

It was really simple to do and I’m in love with the results.

If you have craft vinyl and an electronic die-cutting machine*,

then you can make a stencil too.

How to make a Welcome Autumn Pillow using craft vinyl to make the Stencil

How to make a Welcome Autumn Pillow using a Craft Vinyl Stencil:

  • For my pillow, I used off-white fabric that I purchased at a garage sale several years ago. I cut two panels 15″ x 15″.
  • I created the stencil pattern using the “Welcome Autumn” SVG file and my Silhouette. I sized the image to fit onto my fabric panels.
  • I cut the image using StyleTechCraft Craft Vinyl*. (I originally tried using removable vinyl on my fabric, but it wasn’t quite tacky enough and a little hard to apply.)
  • To create the stencil, remove the letters and the leaves from the vinyl, leaving a reverse image.  
  • Use a low-tack transfer paper to transfer the vinyl onto the fabric.

How to make a Welcome Autumn Pillow using craft vinyl to make the Stencil

  • Make sure that the stencil is securely stuck to the fabric to eliminate paint seepage.
  • Place a piece of paper behind the fabric panel to protect your work surface.
  • Paint the leaves using a small paint brush and a variety of acrylic paint in Autumn colors.  
  • Paint the words “welcome Autumn using black acrylic paint.  

How to make a Welcome Autumn Pillow using craft vinyl to make the Stencil

  • After the paint has dried, carefully remove the stencil.  
  • I may have squealed a bit when I removed the stencil. It is perfectly imperfect, and I love how it turned out!
  • Iron over the fabric to set the design.

“I only have Pies for You” happy day tag

"I Only Have Pies for You" tag.

My sister-in-law loves to bake pies.

When it comes to Thanksgiving, there is almost a pie-per-person ratio.

It’s not just pumpkin, but peanut butter (my favorite),

cherry, and chocolate pies. (To name a few.)

So, when I saw the new “I only have pies for you” soap from Bath and Body,

I knew I needed to pick it up for her.

It’s not only perfect, but it smells wonderful too.

"I Only Have Pies for You" tag.

Since her birthday is right around the corner,

I thought I’d make her a special pie tag to go with it.

The Hey, Pumpkin Stamp & Die Set from

The Maker’s Movement was just the die to make the tag.

Two of my favorite hardworking little machines.

  • Before I die-cut all the small pieces, I ran the cardstock through the Xyron Create a Sticker Mini*.  It makes all the die-cuts into stickers and that makes assembling the card easy.
  • The Mini Maker Die Cutting Machine* makes quick work of die cutting.  And it doesn’t take up a lot of space.

Cozy Watercolor Leaves

Cozy Watercolor Leaves Cardmaking Tips…

  • One of my favorite tips for die-cutting small pieces is to run the paper through the Xyron Creative Station* to add a layer of adhesive to the back before I die-cut. The paper pieces become stickers which make adhering them to cards very easy.
  • Die-cut the leaves out of cream cardstock.
  • Watercolor the leaves using ink from an ink pad and a waterbrush. I applied the ink directly onto a lamented piece of paper (or use a non-porous surface) and picked up the ink with the waterbrush.

Cozy Watercolor Leaves

Cozy Watercolor Leaves Cardmaking Tips Continued

  • The card measures 5″ x 6 ½”.
  • Cut a moss green cardstock layer 4¾” x 6 ¼”.  
  • Using the large circle die from the die set, cut a hole in the center of the cardstock layer. Adhere the layer onto a cream cardstock base.
  • Cut the words “let’s get cozy” out of champagne luster adhesive vinyl. Remove backing from the vinyl and apply it to the center of the circle.
  • Build a layered wreath on the top and bottom of the circle. Add small dots using the small circles dies from the set to the top of the card.
