Welcome to The Creativity Cave! I am so excited to have you join us for the OSAT Blog Hop! This month our theme is Oh My Pumpkins and Pie! What a fun theme for fall! Whether this is your first stop or you are coming from my good friend, Justin's Blog, I am so glad you are here!
I have two awesome projects to share with you today–first off is my Pumpkin Card for Thanksgiving! I LOVE this card and it was so easy to create!
Gather Your supplies:
- 1/2 Sheet of Crumb Cake
- Delicate Doilies
- Watercolor Paper
- Layering Circles Framelits
- Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Smoky Slate ink pads
- Aquapainters
- Gorgeous Grunge
- Teeny Tiny Wishes
- Black and white baker's twine
The Card is reall easy to create–there are some great tips in the video for watercoloring, adding dimension to your work and building up color!
I think this card turned out just lovely–I am anxious to make some more for Thanks Giving! I am hosting it this year with my sister (as in she cleans her house, I cook) I love our little arrangement! 😉
BUT, before Thanksgiving comes, there is HALLOWEEN!!! I love halloween (have I mentioned that before??!) I knew as soon as I was working on this post, eyeballs would be involved!! I've been looking at all the Halloween Candy displays for some chocolate eyeballs, but have not found them yet-so I am using eyeball gumballs instead, and they work just fine! I found them at both Target and Walmart.
I added them to a Cello Bag, tied it up with an adorable jar tag using the same set as the pumpkin, Jar of Haunts and I just love the look! SOOOOOO darn fun! Notice the eyeballs are kind of glossy–I used the Fine Tip Glue to add the dimensional glaze–it is a lot like crystal effects if you've been around a while! Takes forever to dry (hense the "drip" or as I like it call it the crying eye in the vat of eyeballs!) With the exception of the dry time (I'll be a bit less generous with the glue next time for a shorter wait), these were super quick and easy to make up!
Want some more inspiration? I have a several online classes to choose from including the set I used, Jar of Haunts, plus October's Card Buffet, Watercolor School, Totally Trees, Paisleys and Posies and a bunch of Christmas Card Classes and more! check out my ONLINE CLASSES! So much fun available to you and delivered to your door!! Lots of fun projects and inspiration!

Loe the dainty addition of the lace doily – so sweet!
Great card and adorable goody! Love them.
Lovely card but — the treat bag got me! The tag and those eyeball candies — perfect!
Seriously.. just the sweetest card ever! I totally forgot that this stamp set had a pumpkin! Oh and the eye balls are just so adorable!
Love the eyeball treat bag. Will have to “slime” some of my water and add dimension to my eyeballs (and wouldn’t that be a story to tell???). Thanks for sharing, Dena. Great as always.
Very cute card, and spooky little tag! I love both, but for very different reasons!
Dena, thank you so much for the cute projects today. I think I will be casting your card for Thanksgiving. Love your videos!
I love all of these watercolored projects I’m seeing! Both of your projects are fantastic!
THanks so much, Wendy!
