FARMHOUSE - AUTUMN BASKET | with Miguel

Personally, autumn collections are my favorites especially the Farmhouse line because the designs are so adorable, and I just love the wide variety of pumpkin patterns! So, today I made this basket out of cardstock to hold a few seasonal treats or decorations.

This piece is created using a scoring board.  I added decorative paper to both the inside and the outside, to create a sturdy and very durable project. The handle is attached with eyelets, allowing it to move freely without any issues.

 

And look at how I showcased the pieces from the Odds & Ends and Doodle Pops placing them in a three-dimensional way to create a more realistic effect. This garland is absolutely amazing! 

And to finish, I added these 3D-printed baskets, which go perfectly with my project. I also included some autumn leaves leftovers from other projects. Thanks for stopping by. See you soon!

FARMHOUSE - HOME LAYOUT | with Tarrah

Today I'm sharing a layout that celebrates one of my favorite places, home! The beautiful Farmhouse Collection was the perfect choice for documenting this autumn-inspired photo of our front entry, decorated with pumpkins, florals, and all the cozy seasonal touches that make a house feel like home!

For this design, I wanted the photo to take center stage while surrounding it with everything I love about the Farmhouse collection. The classic black and white gingham patterns create a striking foundation and beautifully frame the page. I layered the Country Calico patterned paper and scalloped borders from the Fancy Frills stickers along each side to add softness and bring in the collections sweet country charm.

The large HOME title from the Chit Chat pack immediately draws the eye and creates a strong focal point. I tucked floral die cuts behind the title to soften the bold letters and added the "Welcome to Our Farmhouse" sentiment as the perfect finishing touch. The combination of florals, leaves, and warm autumn colors gives the page a welcoming feel that's perfect for documenting home memories.

To add dimension and visual interest, I created a decorative cluster of pumpkins along the bottom of the layout. The Farmhouse collection Odds & Ends pieces made this so easy! I mixed the patterned pumpkins with sunflowers, florals, and a few leafy accents to create a fun garden-inspired scene that grounds the photo beautifully. I love how the black and white gingham pumpkins tie back to the title and frame, helping the entire design feel cohesive.

A small banner embellishment featuring the phrase "Home Sweet Home" from the Chit Chat pack, helps reinforce the theme and brings another layer of detail alongside the photo. The soft oranges, yellows, mint greens, and pinks throughout the collection work together perfectly to create that warm farmhouse feel without overwhelming the page.

One of my favorite things about the Farmhouse collection is how versatile it is. Whether you're documenting family gatherings, fall memories, gardening adventures, or everyday moments at home, the collection provides endless opportunities for layering and storytelling.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope this layout inspires you to pull out your Farmhouse collection and document the special places and moments that make your house feel like home.

Happy crafting!
