Saturdays With LeAnn

Hello everyone, and welcome back!  You are sure to “fall” in love with this week’s round of wonderful fall project tutorials.  The inspiration from different designers will certainly inspire you to start your festive projects.  Are you ready for some serious autumn inspiration?  Let’s get started!

Autumn Days By Anna-Karin Evaldsson

Anna-Karin shares a fabulous fall layout featuring Eileen Hull dies and Textured Impressions folders.  This fun, seasonal layout combines color, texture, and all things autumn to accent these adorable photos.  You can never have too many fall layouts!

I love the way that Anna-Karin used embossed sheets of paper for her background that were created by using several embossing folders. Using Paper Artsy Infusions Anna-Karin sprinkled a tiny bit of pigment powder on the paper and misted heavily with water.  Don’t you just love her artistic background?  This is certainly a piece of art that you won’t want to miss out on.  For the complete step-by-step tutorial, click here and I would be honored to escort you over to Layers Of Ink so you can follow along as Anna-Karin shares some great tips and techniques.

So Very Grateful By Kay Miller

Don’t you just smell fall in the air?  People are craving everything pumpkin, and I am feeling the need to make fall cards.  It is the perfect time to get started as orange, brown, and golds are on the shelves at the store.  As I have mentioned before, autumn is my favorite time of the year and fall cards are certainly one of my favorite themes to make.  I just love the rich, beautiful colors!

What a fabulous card! It looks amazing with the watercolored bits inside the leaf frame, and the clean look of beautiful colors.  Kay used the Oak Leaf die and was very creative with how she used it.  You really need to visit My Joyful Moments where you will learn different techniques that make card making even more fun.  Kay has addicting techniques that you will want to give a try.  Be sure to check out more of her fabulous projects.

Corrugated Pumpkin Tags By Melissa Phillips

Celebrate fall with these cute Corrugated Pumpkin Tags.  With Thanksgiving less then two weeks away, this fun and easy craft project is a great way to add to your Thanksgiving table.  Wouldn’t it be fun to surprise your guest by adding a tag at each table setting?  Step it up a notch and tie it to a small simple gift for your guests.

Don’t you just love the texture and personality that the corrugated cardstock gives to projects?  I am sure you have some corrugated paper in your stash so now is a great time to give it new life.  Stamping and die cutting creates a whole new world. I really encourage you to try a variety of different stamp sets and dies with corrugated cardstock.  Your projects will be priceless!  Let me have the honor to escort you over to Lilie Bean Paperie where you will find each step to making these adorable tags.  Melissa is absolutely one very talented lady and you won’t want to miss out on her fun projects.
