papertrey ink august...

Hello there!  Are you ready for a bit more fall from Papertrey Ink?  I could never get enough :).  Let's start with this first card using the darling, new Spooky Smiles stamp set and dies.  I am smitten...

I paper-pieced the pumpkins and kitten...these stamps are perfect for that technique and coloring of course.  

And I couldn't wait to use this sentiment...as you know, I can't wait for pumpkin weather.  Love this sweet set and can't wait to dig in and use it more.

Next, I created a little gift bag, just the right size for a gift card for some Halloween See's Chocolate :).  I used the Dress Up Dolls:  Halloween stamp set and added the hat from the Spooky Smiles stamp set to the ghost.

The It's in the Bag die was used to create this fun project.

The new Lucky Break stamp set and dies were used on this card.  I added images from the Paper Clippings:  Thankful For You stamp set to embellish my wishbone and to create a background on my Saffron Spice cardstock base.

I stamped in Saffron Spice, Autumn Rose, Summer Sunrise, Ocean Tides, Terracotta Tile, and Simply Chartreuse.

And lastly, the new Inspired:  Blessed stamp set was used here along with the Give Thanks stamp set and die, Leaf Print dies, and Fancy Foliage Details dies

I used the Cover Plate:  Stitched die as my background and added  a bit of color around the edges using my Zig Watercolor markers.

There's just so much for you to choose from when it comes to beautiful fall and sweet and spooky Halloween products this month.  Happy shopping!

Melissa

Great looks Melis! Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm for autumn! I am a summer girl and have trouble letting go of our short lived WI sunshine, and I know what comes after autumn round here....

Happy everywhere I look! lovely fall colors and layers (your signature style), and all the little bits and bling and special sentiments make your cards irresistible!

I love your paper pieced pumpkins (try saying that three times fast). Really cute idea.

Your wishbone card is stunning! Such lovely projects throughout the release, Melissa.

These darling cards are just wonderful - all of them! I love the details, colors and sentiments! Welcome Fall and all its beauty.

Thanks for the wonderful inspiration you always provide, Melissa! I'm sorry to bother you with a question, but I'm wondering what paper you used on the hatband of your cute little ghost gift bag. I noticed it on your New Every Morning card on the 8-11-16 post, also. It appears to be the new color saffron spice, but I haven't seen any info regarding a paper pack with it in it, so thought maybe you stamped it yourself. I'm a sucker for anything plaid! Again, thanks for the great examples you always share with us!

The Thanksgiving and following acorn examples would be wonderful place cards for Thanksgiving dinner. Very cute Halloween cards too.
