I’ve been thinking about making a Fall themed sampler for a while now. (If you’re not sure what that is, it’s similar in size to a scrapbook page and is meant as a home decor piece) I already had a couple of ideas of what I wanted to do, but just hadn’t had the chance to get to it. So when I saw this week’s Tic Tac Toe challenge from the Paper Craft Crew (PCC448) I was inkspired to get it done. For my row I went diagonal and chose Metallic, Patterned Paper and Die Cuts. Here are all the options…
I started my design with my patterned paper. I used one of the designs from the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper pack as my base. Then I added a little bit of the wood grain design in the centre. For the die cuts I used the Detailed Pumpkins dies. I knew that one of the stamp sets I was going to use was the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set. So it made total sense to use those. Then for the metallic square I used some of the Brushed Metallic cardstock. I also added a couple of the Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots.
I love all the colours of fall! So it was nice to use a bunch of different colours for this piece. I used a combination of Cajun Craze, Bumblebee and Mossy Meadow from the DSP. And I also used some Crumb Cake and Pale Papaya. In terms of stamp sets I used a few different ones as well. Pretty Pumpkins of course, as well as Time of Giving and Beauty of Friendship.
I really like how this Fall themed sampler turned out! You can check out the other entries for this Tic Tac Toe challenge here. And you can check out one of my previous entries into the Paper Craft Crew Challenges here.
