FARMHOUSE FALL CARDS | with Conny

Hello Crafty Friends!  November is here, and with Thanksgiving just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to think about the little ways we can make someone feel special. Whether you’re gathering around the table with family, sending a note to someone you love, or simply wanting to remind someone how thankful you are for them, a handmade card is a beautiful way to share those feelings.

For this project, I used the Farmhouse Collection Cards & Envelopes. The set comes with six cards and six matching envelopes, each in a different color. I made all the cards and added a small layered scene to each one.

I started by creating layered backgrounds for each card using the 6x6 paper pad along with a few additional coordinating papers from the collection. For each card, I created two layered mats, leaving a small border around the edges so the beautiful patterns could peek through. I adhered these directly to the card bases using liquid adhesive or my favorite double-sided adhesive.

Next, I trimmed six circles, 3.5 inches each. These became the foundation for my little fall scenes. I attached the circles using foam adhesive to add dimension. Using the Mini Icons and Puffy Icons, I started layering florals, leaves, trees, and all those adorable little characters from the collection.

I wanted every card to tell a slightly different story. Some feature the cutest little turkeys and chickens, while others have beautiful florals, a tractor, a scarecrow, and all the little details that make fall crafting so much fun.

I also gave each card its own sentiment, including Thanksgiving, Our Family, Give Thanks, Making Memories, and Let’s Give Thanks.

I love how all six cards coordinate while still feeling a little different from one another. Sometimes we don’t need a big gift or an elaborate gesture to make someone feel special. A handmade card, a few thoughtful words, and a little time spent creating something just for them can mean so much.

These would be lovely to bring along to Thanksgiving dinner, tuck into a small gift, or send to someone who could use a little reminder of how much they’re appreciated.

I hope these six handmade cards inspire you to pull out your favorite fall papers and create something from the heart. Happy crafting! Xo,

FARMHOUSE SHAPED MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Hello everyone! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a pretty house shaped fall mini album that is decked out in the colorful and oh so cute Farmhouse Collection. Autumn is upon us and Thanksgiving is just weeks away so this new scrapbook is an ideal project for saving this season's fun new memories. 

When choosing the album's shape, it was the Odds & Ends in this collection that definitely helped me decide on this design. There are a lot of great home and family references, so my Acrylic House Album was the perfect choice. And because the album has different sized acrylic pieces, there are plenty of layers to show off those gorgeous fall colors and pattern papers.

On the cover, I added the pistachio Farmhouse print as the base and the pretty plaid titled Country Quilt on the roof. Then, I separated the two with a leaf garland from the Chit Chat. The "Fall" and "family tradition" are from the Chit Chat as well. The Odds & Ends really made this house look like a home with its welcoming front door and colorful trees. As finishing touches, I added the small wheelbarrow, blue tree, and black and white pumpkin from the mini icons stickers, the round flower die cut from the Chit Chat, and the enamel heart from the Love This sprinkles.

Inside, there are 10 scrapbook pages that include 1 pocket, 4 flippies, and space for 19+ photos of fall, family, and Thanksgiving. I covered each layout in a different 12x12 pattern paper, then added photo mats and lots of cute embellishments.

On the page above, I used the Fall Bouquet print in the background. I love the contrast of the black and white typewriter text against the colors and softer shapes of the die cuts. And the pretty floral Country Calico photo mats were the perfect addition!

This page was a fun shape to design. On the left, I added the Farmhouse print, a photo mat, and the cozy fireplace die cut from the Odds & Ends. On the right, I chose the Fall Floral print and separated the two papers with the gingham scalloped border sticker from the This & That sheet. Next, I created two flippies out of white cardstock and added the turkey and the horn of plenty from the Icon stickers. A few enamel hearts completed the look and now this layout has space for 5 photos. Yay! 

Here I used the Fall Bouquet paper in the background. The bold autumn colors and fun flower shapes are awesome. I layered two different patterns for the photo mat and decorated with some cute kitchen themed Odds & Ends. Wouldn't this be a great page for photos of baking or cooking on Thanksgiving day?

I created a pocket and filled it with a clipboard die cut from the Bits & Pieces and some colorful tags from the 12x12 Give Thanks pattern. You could use these as photo mats or for journaling. I added some puffy stickers to each one and they look adorable sticking out of the pocket.

I hope my Fall Family Tradition House Shaped Mini Album inspires you to create something fun with the beautiful Farmhouse Collection. It's perfect for so many autumn projects including cards, 12x12 layouts, and other paper crafts.

If you'd like to recreate this scrapbook, the acrylic album and instructions are available in my shop. Thanks for stopping by the blog today and happy crafting! 💛

FARMHOUSE - FARM LAYOUT | with Inessa

Today I'm sharing a fun fall layout featuring the Farmhouse collection! I just love all the beautiful colors and patterns in this collection, and while it has the cutest farm theme, it's also perfect for documenting all kinds of fall memories!

For this 12x12 layout, I decided to keep things simple and have a little fun with paper piecing! I started by cutting a variety of patterned papers to 1.5 inches wide, then trimmed them into different lengths. I distressed the edges of each piece before layering them onto my background in an alternating pattern. I didn't follow any specific order here, just played around with the patterns and colors until I found a combination I loved! I worked my way from the left side of the layout to the right, overlapping the pieces as I went.

For my photos, I printed two 3x4 pictures and backed them with the woodgrain petite prints. I added them to two tags for a little extra layering and dimension. I used foam adhesive to pop everything up and then started building my title and embellishments around the photos to really bring the layout together!

For my title, I used some of the adorable Chit Chat pieces and added a cute heart and sunshine to bring in even more detail! I finished things with a few enamel sprinkles and some mini jewels for that little touch of sparkle that I always love!

I absolutely love how this layout turned out! The mix of patterns, distressed edges, and colorful embellishments makes it feel so cozy and playful, and it's such a fun way to document those fall memories.

I hope this inspires you to pull out your Farmhouse collection, mix up those patterned papers, and create something fun! Thanks so much for stopping by, and happy crafting! 💕
