Harvest – November 2023 Challenge

Hello crafty friend, Amanda Stevens here again, to announce the winner of October’s challenge and issue a new one for November! We’d like to thank everyone who entered the Boo Crew Challenge last month. There were some really sweet projects! You can see all of the entries over in the Heffy Doodlers group on Facebook. While you’re there, you can share your projects and meet new crafty friends.

I know you’re excited to see who won last month’s challenge, so please help me congratulate Denise Bryant! Isn’t her Ghoulfriends Halloween card adorable? This is one of several cards she submitted. Check out the album to see her other cards!

To choose the winner, all entries (except those by Lesley and the current design team) were assigned a number, in order of posting. We used random.org to choose the winning number.

As the weather starts cooling down and pumpkin spice season approaches, it’s time to think about Fall. This month, the theme is HARVEST. Think about the colors, flavors, and holidays that inspire you. What will you create? I decided to turn the Tall Snow Globe Die Set into a 3D box card and fill it with fall colors, coffee-drinking fairies, and lots of leaves, acorns and pumpkins. Here’s a look…

I just love the way it turned out! In order to turn the Tall Snow Globe into a box card, I cut my own sides and cross pieces, adding 3/8″ glue tabs on each end. Acetate strips lift the fairies and many of the smaller images, allowing them to float in the scene. I mixed and matched pumpkins, leaves, acorns, and coffee cups with the fall-colored fairies from several stamp sets for a fun HARVEST feel. The rich colors of the background, along with the texture from the Stitched Leaves Backdrop Die, pulls everything together.

If you’d like to recreate a card like this, here are the supplies you’ll need…
