Pumpkin Season Greetings

Copper and Cream Autumn Pumpkin
Hello, Friends! It's the most wonderful time of the year! I'm talking pumpkin season, my friends! Nothing makes me happier than a field of plump orange pumpkins! Unless it's a slice of freshly baked pumpkin bread! Yum! I've found that the Copper and Cream Plaid ribbon from RRR looks fabulous with any pumpkin themed project. Pair it up with a little Natural Burlap String to amp up the rustic autumn vibe.
The ribbon looks great inside a card, too. Use it as a border on top of a pocket. It makes a handy closure for a little secret recipe card pocket on the top of the card.
This is a fun way to present a few of your favorite "pumpkin everything" recipes, isn't it? And if you're going to bake pumpkin bread, you really need to have a little tea to go with it. So I created a cute tea and chocolate wallet then dressed it up with more ribbon. Cute, right? A packet of honey and a demitasse spoon complete the service.
Suddenly I find myself craving a little pumpkin snack! What's your favorite pumpkin baked good? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below.
Thanks for stopping by!
Cheerio,
kathy

Hello, Fall!
Hello, Ribbon Lovers! I have a delightful feeling that my favorite season is just around the corner! Oh, how I love fall! So the August Ribbon Club Assortment is making me happy, happy! Don't you just love the adorable Hedgehogs and Pumpkins Printed Satin Ribbon? I may or may not have said "Squeeeee!" when I opened my shipment and found it waiting for me there!
Autumn is all about sipping hot cider and walking in crunchy leaves under crystal blue skies. So I decided I needed to make a little loaded pocket card filled with all the goodies that make fall such a special time.
I found so many fun ways to use the ribbons from the August Ribbon Club Assortment!
- Layer the Hedgehog and Pumpkins Satin over Russet Delicate Stitched Satin to create a border at the top of the card.
- Top a sweet fall tag with Cappuccino Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon and a Hedgehog bow.
- Wrap the box pocket with Hedgehog Satin and Natural Burlap String.
- Tie a pretty bow with Orange Plaid Ribbon and top with a Mixed Earth Tone Chrysanthemum.
- Create a "lollipop" from a rosette. Then adorn it with ribbons from the assortment and some Mixed Earth Tone Cottage Roses.
- Decorate the goodies in the box pocket with little bits of ribbon.

*NEW* August Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon
I don't know about you, but an autumn color palette is one of my most favorite to work with. Such gorgeous rich colors. I just love everything about autumn.
This time I made a Thank You card, but it could just as easily work for any occasion by just switching out the sentiment. I created some paper for the leaf with Distress and Distress Oxide Inks. They are so much fun to work with.
My bottom layer is a natural mulberry paper with some leaf inclusions that make it perfect for autumn projects.

Autumn...
I kept this card relatively flat for mailing. You could even eliminate the Thin 3D Foam Tabs under the leaves to make it even flatter.
This is also a perfect way to use up those precious ribbon scraps that you don't want to part with. I just dove tailed the end of two 5-1/2" pieces of each color of ribbon and even spaced them over the background Distress Ink paper I created. I then added the leaf squares on top of the ribbon.
I get lots of questions about the 'fuzzy layer' that I use on a lot of my cards.
That layer is Mulberry paper and you can view a video on how I use it and where I get it HERE.

Leaves are Falling, Autumn is Calling Note Card
I just adore creating projects with a beautiful autumn color palette. There is just something about the mix of colors...
My card is topped off with a pretty bi-color bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 Tool using two of the ribbons from the August Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The center of the bow is topped with a Antique Bronze Gear Embellishment. I also ran two ribbons from the assortment across the center of the card behind the flower focal point.

We Make a Great Pear
On my card I chose to make my a bow using three of the ribbons in Augusts Ribbon Club Assortment. I also used the same ribbons for the banners in the left hand corner. The design papers and stamps I ended up using are all from Club Scraps September Orchard Kit. The flowers I used were already cut, and colored, I just had to put them together for my card. The centers have a 10mm pearl embellishments. The leaves were already done, so I just had to add them. This made for a fast card, as I didn't end up doing any sewing on this one, kinda shocking....hehehehe.
The sentiment was stamped using black ink, and then I distressed around the oval using an orange and light brown. The pear was stamped 2 times and cut out once. I colored it using Copic markers.
The yellow layer was just distressed using scissors and ink,
The big bow was made using the Tangerine Taffeta , autumn leaves grosgrain, and green satin, along with a sweet crystal embellishment.
All layers were put together using Scor-Tape and foam squares from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies Used:
White flat back pearls 10mm
Mixed colored rhinestone flower
Scor-Tape
3-D thin foam tabs
Ribbons-Assortment , or Green checkerboard Satin, Random Autumn Leaves Grosgrain , Tangerine Taffeta Ribbon
Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl
