InVue Project Pattern: Autumn Tags
Tags have become one of my favorite projects lately. They dress up a gift or treat and are quick to create. In fact, I think tags are easier than cards. After pouring my creativity into the outside of a card, I always struggle with the inside. Not so, with tags. There is no inside to worry about! This set of Autumn Tags has plenty of versatility for almost any fall occasion. There are several fun elements to the tags to get your creative juices flowing. Use your Pen Tool to write the saying on the tag. You can always change the phrase to something you want right in the software so no need to buy separate stamp sentiments. Create a fun shadow stencil by laying down a cut piece and sponging ink or spritzing glimmer mist over the stencil.

Happy Fall with a Scarecrow/Feliz ...

Window Cling: Scarecrow Wreath
When I was a girl I played with paper dolls. When our daughter was young, instead of using paper dolls, she played with die-cut vinyl pieces called Colorforms. Today we can cut our own shapes from vinyl cling material and create designs for placing on our windows, smooth surfaces, or for using in building creative designs on a vinyl covered board, much as our children did. Today, I had the opportunity to play with Pazzles Vinyl Cling material to make a cute fall decoration for my sliding glass door. I found a nice Scarecrow design and a Grapevine Wreath in the Pazzles Craft Room to adapt for this project. Since the vinyl I was using was 9” wide, I resized the wreath to about 9” wide. Then I selected parts of the Scarecrow with pumpkin design that I needed. I wanted the scarecrow to be sitting on the edge of the wreath instead of standing, so I transformed the britches portion of the design into a banner. I resized the scarecrow pieces to fit nicely inside of the wreath. I typed the text using the InVue software, with the Brightside Typeface, and thickened it by shadowing at .02”.

Fall in Love Apple Harvest ...
This project was created from the Early Fall Harvest themed files from the Pazzles Craft Room. I have noticed that ombre is very in and thought it would be fun to make a sign celebrating all the wonderful apple varieties we are blessed with, especially here in the Evergreen State. I had an ombre acid-free cardstock paper pad titled “Paint Chip” from Craft Smith with some of the colors already coordinated for me. I added the rest of the colors from card stock in my stash. Components: Backing - two 10 by 7.5 pieces of cardboard (like from a small shipping or moving box, or a cereal box will do)
Apple Nugget Box Card
Hello crafty friends, Melinda here with you today. It’s my turn to share here in the Craft Room. This month I was tasked with making a project with a school theme. I decided to make this super cute and fun treat card for my grandson for his first day of 4th grade! I used the Apple Nugget Box Card file I created for the Craft Room Library. I started with some Kraft cardstock for the base. I then turned to the DCWV Edumacation Stack for the patterned papers. I also used some red cardstock for the outer apple shapes.
Pen Tool: Popsicle Card
Summer time is always a good time for a cool treat. Why not have a party and invite people over to enjoy? If you are not using your Pen Tool this is a great time to pull it out and have fun. For this project I used the Popsicles file in the Craft Room then created a duplicate and welded the two together to make the card shape. The outside of the card I used purple card stock for the base and layered the orange and white on top. I used my Pen Tool to draw the letters for 'Let's Celebrate' and the inside of the card.

Recipe for a Beautiful Garden ...
Every Spring and Early Summer as the cold weather turns and the grass starts to get green, the flowers start blooming and the leaves cover the trees in verdant colors, I get excited and ready to start adding a touch to our own yard for us to enjoy for the next few months. The past two years we have not done a lot in our new home, so this year we are ready to really get started. As I was thinking of the things I needed to do to make sure our yard is vibrant with color and flowers, I recalled the special recipe that my oldest sister used and shared with us in the past. We have used this recipe in our past homes and have always left each place with a plush lawn and beautiful landscaping with flowers and bushes that show their colors to the fullest. So I know it is time to pull out the 'recipe.' As I was doing that, I realized I could not find it. It then occurred to me, it should be with my recipe swap book that I did years ago with a group of online friends, that I still use. That meant creating a page.
Spring Shaped Card Set

Based on past experience I can tell you that giving a shaped card you've made to a non paper crafter will totally blow their mind!
