Hello friends! I’m so happy to be a part of the Pretty Pink Posh blog hop today! If you’re arriving here from the one and only Jennifer McGuire’s blog, I welcome you warmly to my corner of the internet. Fall is actually in the air here in the upper midwest that I call home, and this card is a way to celebrate my love of this favorite season.
Today’s card projects features a few of the latest releases, plus I have a bonus card at the bottom of this post, because I couldn’t stop at just one card. Pretty Pink Posh + fall = adorableness.
I actually created two versions of the card project I’m sharing in my video today, one with a bit more going on, but both feature a simple watercolored background, with the Autumn Wreath stamped on top. Sometimes I lack confidence in my general coloring skills, but still like to use more detailed stamps. Creating a wash of background color and stamping over the painted area was my solution for a pretty quick, clean and simple card.
Here is a video showing you my process:
I also made another card using the brand new Pumpkin Patch Critters, an adorable set featuring critters and pumpkins (and general cuteness!)
I created my own window panel using the Stitched Diamonds die set, and am really loving the way it turned out!
I didn’t film this video, because my Copic coloring sometimes takes me FOREVER to figure out. I’m working on it. (All supplies for this second card are at the very bottom of this post!)
But that little mouse though, am I right? As we say in Minnesota, oh for cute!

I’m waiting for fall to get here for good! We keep getting teased that it’s here, then it’s hot and sticky the next day. I struggle with coloring as well, so I appreciate your wreath card design. I love the way your critters and peeking out the diamond cut-outs. Very cute!

I love the pumpkin critters, they are adorable. Your card is so cute. Love it!!
That is a super cute mouse and I love your window card
Thank you for sharing your beautiful cards. Great idea of colouring the background and then stamping the wreath. Gotta say the pumpkin patch was my favourite. The critters are so cute and the stitched diamond die cut perfect for creating a window.
The cards are lovely. I especially loved the window card.
I love the use of the brown background and how the colored details pop so much! Both cards are lovely. Thank you for sharing!
Your relaxed watercoloting is my style. Thanks for a beautiful Fall Card.

I watched your video earlier today and now I’m blog hopping! I love both cards, they’re adorable! Thanks for sharing the alternative to coloring. I love what you did and it would be so much quicker for me than coloring each image. I love how your wreath turned out!
These are just adorable fall cards! I especially like the pumpkin patch critters, and the way you have them peeking out of the windows! Super cute!!!
Very cute card with the critters, which anyone would love to receive.
These are both so cute. I just love that little pumpkin patch set.
Loved your card. The wreath turned out beautiful.
Very cute cards with the critters, which anyone would love to receive!
Love the card with the animals and pumpkins. Super cute!
Oh, I would be frustrated and time-challenged to color all of those tiny little images on the wreath, too! But as I dabble in the watercolor craze, I find it to be quite forgiving and quick to an image like that 🙂 You did great!
Love the cards! That’s a great way to color the wreath – I’ll have to remember that!
I too love your diamond card. Both are so cute.
What a beautiful wreath!
I love your cards! Thank you for reminding us that there is an easier way to color sometimes. You’re wreath card looks great!
Thanks for sharing. New subscriber and love your clean look cards. Love the pumpkin patch card. Sooo cute!
First…thank you for that video….You made this look so easy…..I would have just labored through coloring everything….NOT thinking of doing that rainbow wash….Brilliant idea…..Sometimes the simple things make a stand out appearance, and this did for me…
The second card,,,,who doesn’t adore those little critters?….But, again….I loved the way you set up your card scheme….with those diamond windows…..perfect…Thanks so much…..Great blog Hop….I have a Wish list going…..my poor pocket book….LOL…..hugs
loving this new release – thanks for the ideas:)
Love them both! Haven’t had a chance to watch the video yet, but can’t wait. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the little critters with the pumpkins, and the way you have them peeping out of the die-cuts.
What a cool way to add interest to a card with the diamond shapes. Thanks for sharing.
I liked your rainbow donut by itself just fine. Then when you stamped it, not so much. But then, aha! A die! A rainbow wreath! Even better than the rainbow donut! :o) Great job! You’ve obviously been paying attention in class and learning from the masters!
Love that rich looking brown cardstock! Velvety looking!
Love your adorable cards!
Love the pumpkins and squirrel. Your Copic coloring looks awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Loved your video! The pumpkins and squirrel card is adorable. Such fun stamps. Thanks for sharing and brightening my day!
I Iove these beautiful, fun cards. Those Pumpkin Patch Critters are so adorable.
Great idea to
Watercoloring the background before embossing and diecutting, instead of coloring all the little details is a great idea!
Super cute cards
I like the gradient rainbow effect of your wreath card and all the critters peeking out from the windows with their pumpkins – such a cute set! Great layout too!
I LOVE your fun cards! It’s adorable the way you have the animals peeking out and tucked between the cutouts of the card! Brilliant!
Great Ideas with great colors!!!!
I love the diamond designed card! What great colors and coloring!
Wow, 2 great cards can not decide which one I like best
Adorable cards! Thanks for the inspiration as always!
Love your cards and thanks for your video with great ideas!
Your blending on the wreaths is awesome!
Really awesome! I love that wreath stamp, and you colored it beautifully. Thank you for a chance to win. Michelle t
Love your cards. The watercolour technique is something I must try
Great new releases. Your cards are great, and what a good idea for adding colour to the wreath. I would love a fall wreath stamp and matching dies.
Love both of your beautiful cards! Especially the one with the little critters peeking out! So darn cute! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love the warm fall colors!
The diamond window card is adorable. This release has some fun sets, but my favorite is the leaf Thanks die.
I’m also a member of the coloring challenged club so this technique is right up my alley! Love both cards but the critters in the cut out diamonds is my fave. Very cute. This is a great release for fall.
Love your cards I love the PPP diamond dies. I have squares, hearts, rectangle, stars ,etc….but this is the first time I noticed the diamond shaped dies!
The critters and the pumpkins are precious. Wonderful coloring..
Thank yo misting you are not a coloring person — me, either! I like your technique!
Love how you water colored the wreath! Great idea I need to try! Thanks for the inspiration! Such a beautiful card!
Cute cute cards! Great water color technique! Always loved your simple scrapbook layouts and your cards are great too!
fantastic cards! I enjoyed your video.
Love the Peek-A-Boo card with the critters peeking through, as well as your beautiful wreath card! Fall is my favorite time of the year, too!!! ♥
Great cards and I love the watercolor idea for the wreath. Never would have thought of that. Thank you for the inspiration!
Oh for cute, indeed! The wreath is lovely in both the simple, and the slightly more chichi way. Also, I love how you and Laura Bassen are starting to mind meld. I can think of many a worse person to be on the same page with! And that second card is adorable. I know you feel like you can’t put together a video because you’re still figuring out copics, but I wouldn’t mind seeing that. It’s nice to see the process of figuring it out, because it helps me figure out how to fix mistakes. So if you ever wanted to do a video of that, I’d totally watch. Thanks for sharing, and have a lovely day!
Wowzer… I cannot even get enough of these beautiful cards. I am very new to watercoloring and what a great idea to play and just get a feel for how the color works out on the paper. Beautiful blend. Your second card sent me straight to PPP for those diamond dies. I am soooooo geometrically inclined. Love.
Fabulous cards!!! I love your diamond critter card!!
Hi Kathy
I love your cards and your humor and your perspective on life. You would fit in real well here in Australia. I love everything you post.
Thank you for sharing and for being so real !
Love both cards! You CAN color! You did a great job on the little critters and pumpkins!
so fun and cute. Thanks for sharing.
Cathy, I just love your cards and yes that mouse is so cute. Hmm? I wonder how it would look with the critters colored and the pumpkins white. I just might have to get this stamp set and play. That squirrel has a possessive look and grip on his pumpkin. LOL!
Amazing cards! My favorite is the peek a boo card with the cute little critters and pumpkins!
Wonderful set of creations!! 🙂
I love your Autumn themed cards!
Love your critters and Autumn wreath cards.
Thanks for the chance to win and sharing.
Beautiful cards!! What fun windows for those super cute critters!!
Love those cute critters popping out of the card openings. Great ideas for Autumn cards.
You are entertaining and gifted!! Thank you for that!!
You’re a hoot! And that “critters” card really inspired me to re-think cuteness!!! Beautiful… thanks!
Thank you for the tip. Copic coloring is a bit overwhelming for me right now as well so any new strategies are much appreciated !
It may be a bit cooler weather, but we do not yet see The Return of The Sleeve!
I love this because it doesn’t have extra furniture. And it says Autumn, not Fall. And the watercolour instead of inkblending (more within my reach than the other).
As a coloring newbie, I can relate to the struggle. : ) I love these cards, though- the wreath is awesome (I love that there are mushrooms in it!), and your pumpkin patch critters are simply adorable!
Great creation. Thx for this inspiration 🙂
Cathy, I can totally appreciate your struggle with colouring with Copics. I am intimidated with them. I wouldn’t mind seeing a video of how you come to decide what colours to use. I’m colouring & blending challenged. (I’m also fussy cutting challenged…) The wreath is my favourite of this release, but, like you, I was thinking I couldn’t possibly colour every little image properly. I am delighted with the alternative you showed. I also like the design you incorporated with the stitched squares in your pumpkin patch critter cards. SO CUTE!
These critters peaking out from behind the pumpkins…so cute! Love your cards
Love the gradation of color on the wreath.
The little critters peeking out of the windows
is darling. thanks for sharing

Pretty and cute Autumn cards.
I love the pumpkin card. too cute!
Thank you for giving me a new way to color my wreath cards! I love the colors of fall and you made your wreath cards so gorgeous! Thanks!
Love the blended wreath–partial to the script sentiment, and the pumpkin patch critters are so whimsically cute. I like how you the stitched diamond die to make the card sing!
Your cards were just lovely. I do get thrown off by having to do a lot of coloring so I love this technique. Thank you for your inspiration
Great cards..the little critters are adorable. Looks like an awesome release.
Wonderful cards. Love the wreath!
Thanks so much for sharing…
Love the autumn wreath stamp,the brown paper was perfect with it. So simple — terrific.
Both of your cards are so pretty and perfectly celebrate the beauty of fall.
I agree with you that the Pumpkin Patch Critters set is absolutely darling!!! And I love the creative way you used the Stitched Diamond dies on the Critters card. What a fun way to show off these cute little rascals. 🙂
Oh my gosh, those little critters and pumpkins are just the cutest thing! And that brown card stock what a great color brown! Can’t resist these!
In response to “oh for cute” … ya, for sure! (said with Minnesota accent). And both cards are super cute. TFS
Cute cards. Thanks for sharing your techniques and the inspiration.
Beautiful fall colors. I especially like the wreath card.
Adorable cards. Your wreath is so creative!
I love both cards! The wreath is just beautiful. Great colors! And the critters in the diamond-shaped windows… adorable!!! LOVE it!

Loved both the cards.
Thank you so much for sharing your color wash technique. All your cards are beautiful! But your last card with the critters proves that you can color! Just wonderful!!!
I don’t think I could color all the images either, this is a GREAT idea!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Love your cards, especially the stunning wreath one. Gorgeous stamp set Pretty Pink Posh

Awesome cards! I really like how your colors blend together so well on the wreath in that first card, and the second one is so cute! 🙂
