Grace combined some Fall sets to create two beautifully elegant cards! They are perfect to announce that a “little pumpkin” is on the way!
The design of each card is exactly the same, just a little change in the colors for a boy or a girl. Grace started with a panel of Falling Leaves 6×6 paper that she cut using the largest Outside In Stitched Rectangle. Next, she cut a vellum panel with a Scalloped Rectangle to layer over the patterned paper. The greeting looks so good white embossed on the vellum. She used a sentiment from Little Bundle, customizing it with Milo’s ABCs.
Then Grace arranged some lovely Autumn elements starting with a large pumpkin from Pumpkin House. Another pumpkin from Stitched Pumpkins along with Sunny Sunflower and smaller Sunflower Border blooms complete the arrangement. All of the die cuts were colored with Lawn Fawn inks and blending brushes. Check out the ink colors in the supply list below.
The final touches add so much charm to an already special design! The cute fox from Foxy Family nestles into the layers of sunflowers and pumpkins, while the bow from Cute Candy Canes adds a pearly look in pastel vellum.
Thank you so much for sharing this gorgeous card design with us, Grace!

Mindy‘s pocket full of sunflowers is so beautiful! She layered two sets of petals to create lots of dimension on her Sunny Sunflowers before tucking them into the Money Pocket. With paper from Falling Leaves and a lovely sentiment from Scripty Autumn Sentiments this is a perfect card for Fall!
It’s no wonder that Chari loves our new You Crow Girl set! Our original Happy Harvest scarecrow is a special favorite of hers! Here she paired the cute scarecrow and the little crow with Leafy Tree Backdrop: Portrait, Stitched Rounded Rectangle Stackables and Falling Leaves papers.
The Sunflower Border is a gorgeous accent on Marine‘s adorable Veggie Happy card!
She used the two sizes of sunflowers from the Happy Harvest set to create a fun Fall gardening scene!
Chari‘s lovely card features Sunny Sunflower and Scripty Autumn Sentiments. I love how she framed the flowers in a Secret Garden Window. She also added interest by cutting the flower petals from Falling Leaves 6×6 paper. Then she used the 12×12 Falling Leaves paper to continue the plaid pattern in the background.
Grace shows us that Sunny Sunflower pairs perfectly with the Watering Can! She added a stenciled background and sweet message from Long Distance Hugs to create a gorgeous card. But wait, there’s more!
On the inside, Grace used more Sunny Sunflowers and Sunflower Border blooms to create an interactive element with our new Swivel Surprise! Wow, so stunning!
You Crow Girl works so well with the Happy Harvest sunflowers, crows and pumpkins. Tammy created an adorable friendship card with the new little overall-wearing mouse that accompanies You Crow Girl. She also used Little Farm Fence Border and Grassy Border to fill in her design!
Latisha created a stylized floral design using Sunny Sunflower and bold color! She arranged the colorful flowers in a neutral-colored barrel from Build-A-Barrel: Apple, putting the focus on the flowers. With a charming sentiment and a Black Hemp Twine bow this card will make anyone smile!
It was bound to happen! Chari combined both our cute scarecrows to create one very special card! Happy Harvest and You Crow Girl are a perfect pair!
I love that our Sunny Sunflower can take center stage on a beautiful, simple card! Here, Elise arranged three sunflowers in a pretty grouping on a blue Falling Leaves background. Then all she needed was the perfect Henry Jr.’s ABCs greeting!
Mindy used the single flowers in the Sunflower Border set to create a delightful grid of pretty blooms! Then she added a simple greeting from Long Distance Hugs to complete her lovely card!
Megan used the height of a tall slimline card to arrange her Sunny Sunflowers in a vertical grouping! She placed the stems in a mason jar from How You Bean? before tying on a tiny tag with Coral Hemp Twine! So pretty!
Audrey’s little decor piece is so special! She cut the Sunny Sunflower from felt so she could stitch together the pretty flowers! Such a great idea!
Mindy paired You Crow Girl with Happy Harvest in a lovely Fall scene! In addition to the scarecrows, she added the little mouse from You Crow Girl and another mouse from You Autumn Know. Then she used Picket Fence Border with the sunflowers and cornstalks from Happy Harvest! It’s so “a-maizing”!
It’s time for back to school and happy Fall greetings! Chari‘s pretty card captures both with our Sunflower Border, Book Collection and Giant Happy Fall!
