Autumn Colours

This week at As You Like It Challenge we're asking you to share your favourite harvest colours, and although orange wouldn't normally be one of my favourite colours, in autumn it's lovely to see all the leaves turning before they create their carpet. Does anyone else like kicking through the crispy leaves on the pavements?

Trick or Treat Bear

I've made this Trick or Treat Halloween sign with some gorgeous purple plain and pearl card with some white and yello accents.  The little bear has been watercoloured and fussy cut to complete the decoration.

Christmas Tree Bear

At As You Like It Challenge this week we'd like to know if you prefer crafting for Autumn or Winter.  It's got to be Winter for me, because Christmas cards are my favourite theme to create for. I love the wintry images and the excuse to use a little glitter on the snowy scenes.  I have far more Christmas images than any other theme, so I think that supports my claim!

Santa Suit Cracker

This cracker gift box is so easy to make and would make a lovely table decoration too.

Santa Coffee Cup Box

I've used a Silhouette Cut file by Tanya Batrak to create this Santa Suit Coffee gift box.  It would help if you had 8 hands to hold the sides together while you're assembling it, so I used clothes pegs to keep the tabs in place while the glue dried.

Far too Cute to Spook

I've made this Trick or Treat Halloween gift-set using some adorably cute digi papers from Amanda Jayne Designs printed onto smooth white cardstock.

I created the trigangular box and teeny pillow boxes using my Silhouette and decorated them with the digi papers.  I've tried to get as many whole charactrers onto the panels as possible, so they're not all dismembered!  

The tags are cut using a Crealies XXL die and I've added a 'Trick or Treat' die cut which I've layered by creating an outline using my Silhouette so that they show up a little more clearly on the patterned paper underneath.

This Little Piggy

This little piggy didn't go to market, but instead he is going to decorate a gift in the form of a gift-tag.  I used a Silhouette cutting file which is meant to be a box, but I just cut the front of it, and then created an outline border in white to frame him.

You must be Quackers

Does anyone other than me and my nutty husband refer to ducks as 'Jacobs'?  If you're not familiar with the brand, there is a company called Jacobs who make cream crackers, and because ducks are 'quackers', hence the connection!  

Yes, we are loopy in this house!!!

Eeyore

I've always adored donkeys and Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh, so when the theme of 'favourite animal' was picked for the theme at As You Like It Challenge this fortnight, it wasn't a difficult choice for me.  I had a soft toy donkey when I was a baby and nearly 50 years later I still have him.  Thankfully I live close enough to the Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary that I can visit real donkeys fairly often too. It's a great day out if you are ever passing.  Today I'll have to make do with a 2D version in the form of my donkey themed card.

Pink Purse Box

I've made this small gift bag with my Silhouette and embossed the main part to give it some texture.
