Stay Crafty with Hero Challenge #15
Hi friends! We're back with another Stay Crafty With Hero challenge. This time, the theme is Fall & Halloween. Make any sort of card or project you like, as long as it has a Fall or Halloween theme! Have fun creating, and best of all, mail your card to someone special when you're done! We'll include all of the challenge details further down this post, but first, here's a gorgeous card from Ilina!
Hello everyone! Ilina here! For the challenge I decided to create a Fall card, and nothing represents Fall better than pumpkins. For my card I decided to use the Jack o'Lantern Fancy Dies along with the Autumn Bouquet Fancy Dies.
To make the card, start by die cutting the pumpkin without the top and the flower and leaves from Dove White cardstock. Once you have the number of flowers and leaves you like to use, color them. I used alcohol based markers, but you can use any medium of your choice. Once colored add Clear Lacquer Pen onto the sunflower centers and on some of the branches. Set aside to dry.
Cut a piece of Dove White cardstock to 3 3/4" x 5" and assemble the die cut elements. Stamp sentiment from the Happy Autumn Forest stamp set on Pitch Black cardstock and emboss in white. Trim to size. Adhere to the panel. Create a note card from Pitch Black cardstock and adhere the panel to it using foam tape of craft foam.
Thank you so much for stopping by and I can't wait to see what you create!

Love your ideas so inspirational! Since we will not be having Halloween in my neighborhood due to pandemic I should make a few cards for children and mail them a dollar or two.
Ilina, your card is beautiful! Since I have the Sept kit, I should try to create something to enter! We’ll see!
Looks like a fun challenge – thanks for continuing to host one! Just love Ilina’s bouquet in the pumpkin!! Congrats to Charlotte on her win for #14 too!!
