Make Simple Pumpkin Cards for Fall

Hey there crafty friends! I absolutely love to create cards for fall. It makes me so excited for the gorgeous autumn season, and the anticipation of all the fun during the rest of the year! Let's look at a few pumpkin-inspired cardmaking ideas featuring a few of my favorite companies:

First up, I used a  gorgeous (retired) Close to My Heart stamp set, called So Grateful.  The solid pumpkin and the cursive words are two separate stamps which can each be used independently or layered together. It's such a beautiful autumn stamp set.

Pumpkin Kisses

Next up, another pumpkin card, this one features stamps from Impression Obsession Stamps. The Pumpkin Kisses clear stamp set is adorable for fall cards. I loved mixing in some BOLD black and white printed papers plus a die-cut tag on this card. And the pumpkins were easy to color with colored pencils. 

Looking for more pumpkin inspiration? 

Check out this little lovely with the Pumpkin Pals Stamp (also from Impression Obsession.) This big bold stamp looks great colored, or stamped onto patterned paper or an inky sheet of cardstock. 

A Little More Pumpkin Pals

Pumpkin Pals is one of my favorite stamp sets, so here's another favorite card I created with it, but it has a pretty different look. I began but stamping the pumpkins on aqua cardstock. Then I stamped them again on orange and yellow cardstocks, and I trimmed different pumpkins to layer together onto the aqua panel. I absolutely LOVE the way this turned out, and because pumpkins are pretty easy to cut, it didn't even take very long.

I've had my first pumpkin spice latte of the season from Starbucks, and I'm using great restraint, in not picking up a cinnamon broom from the grocery store YET.  (I try to make myself wait until October 1st!)  Around here, it doesn't feel like fall until about November!  But we are READY and waiting for it!!! And in the meantime, I'll be doing some serious FALL CRAFTING until the weather catches up! Thanks so much for stopping by today and checking out some PUMPKIN cuteness! xoxo
