Cute pumpkins and candy treats are meant for everyone—even those who do not celebrate Halloween, and design team member Wendy Antenucci is with us to share two lovely greeting cards meant to make anyone smile! Let’s take a look at how she took some of our October 2019 Kit and add-on Halloween products and made them work for her non-Halloween designs!
Hello everyone! It’s Wendy here today with a two new autumn inspired cards. I loved the Halloween products included in the October 2019 Kit and add-ons, but we don’t participate in Halloween activities. So, what do you do? You repurpose!
Supplies | October 2019 Kit, Halloween Journaling Tags, October Labels, Thankful Stickers, Candy Corn Puffy Alphabet Stickers, Halloween Puffy Stickers, Wood Veneer Leaves, Halloween Acrylic Treats, Title Builder Vol. 3 Stamp
I love the “gather” 3″ x 4″ tag from the October 2019 Kit and I thought it would create the perfect backdrop for a pumpkin patch inspired card.
The Halloween Puffy Stickers included such cute pumpkins that I used with the addition of the Wood Veneer Leaves to set the fall theme of this card. Now if we could just get some fall down here in Florida, it would be perfect!
Who else has candy corn and other candy around their house at this time of year? Ummmm, I love candy, so I wanted to make a candy inspired card!
Instead of making this card about my favorite tri-colored candy, as seen on the Halloween Puffy Stickers, I chose instead to create a card with the sentiment, “you are my favorite.” The Halloween Acrylic Treat candy and candy corn from the Halloween Puffy Stickers were the perfect additions to add to the bottom of the card.
Some leftover strips from various 3″ x 4″ tags in the October Kit added to the feel of a pile of candy. The words “you are my” from the Title Builder Vol. 3 Stamp were the exact words I was looking for to make the card a favorite.
I love being challenged to create using products that might not be my first choice. It is so fun to stretch yourself and see where you can go—the sky is the limit! Now where did I hide that peanut butter pumpkin…
