Hello there!  Happy Halloween week Pink Paislee fans!  I have a couple of fun Halloween cards to share with you to set the mood!

Halloween is my all time favorite holiday!  I love the fall weather, the decorating, the colors, the costumes and of course the candy!!  I would like to share with you today a couple of cards that I made for the occasion!

The first card that I created is a house shaped card, that I cut using my Silhouette cameo.  I used paper from the Bella Rouge collection.  To add detail to my card, I cut a couple of bats out of black cardstock and added them to card.  I then sprinkled white spray mist across the card.  I added a couple of loose threads and some enamel dots from the Crate Paper After Dark collection.  The gold puffy stars are from the Memorandum collection.

I hand painted the letter "H" with white paint and added it to my card, with a bit of black tulle behind it.  I will show you how I did this in the steps below.  I handpicked the letter "H" and the numbers "31" from the Bella Rouge collection. I used a foam paint brush and some white folk art paint to transform them.  I thought the initial colors and design of the letter/numbers would have been perfect for Halloween, but I wanted them to stand out against my chosen striped background papers.

To do this, I first dabbed a little bit of white paint on to my foam brush and then lightly stroked on white paint to my letter H and numbers 31.  I purposely did not cover them completely, because I wanted to give them a little bit of a distressed look.  Set aside your chosen letters/numbers to dry and then adhere to your cards!  This is a great way to customize them and give them a "homemade" look!

I hope you have a Happy Halloween!

The crisp change of Fall is in the air, and I am so excited for the seasons to change.  Fall is my favorite season!  Looking forward to cooler weather and everything pumpkin!

I'm sharing a fall layout today, made with the Pink Paislee Cedar Lane collection.  This collection has got to be one of my all time favorite Fall collections, I love the papers and the B sides are seriously amazing too!

I started this layout by cutting my background cut file out of white cardstock paper.  I splashed some white paint and black ink against my polka dot background paper and set aside to dry.

Then I cut out lots of fun patterned paper squares, printed and cut my photo, then added lots of embellies. 

The arrows in this collection are some of my all time favorite embellishments, just can't get enough!

Thanks for stopping by today,  I hope this layout has inspired you to get a head start on Fall crafting!

National S'mores Day!! | Pink Paislee

Today, is National S'mores day!!!  To kick off this fun day, I'm sharing some National S'mores day projects using the brand new Pink Paislee Cedar Lane collection that the whole family can join in on!!


To celebrate National S'mores day I created this cute 3d pop up tent filled with treats for the occasion.

I also made this sweet sign to announce the event.

I used bits and pieces from the new Cedar Lane collection to create this sweet banner as well as some found items from around the home and yard

Quick Tip:  You can create these fast and easy banner planters by using recycled tin cans, sticks found around the home and rocks found around the home.  They totally play off the camping theme!

Gather chocolate squares, marshmallows and graham crackers in a tray for easy access to complete the event!!

I hope you like my idea today for celebrating National S'mores Day with your family, visit the Pink Paislee blog this week for more ideas!!
