Dies R Us ~ Pumpkins and/or Apples

Happy Fall everyone!  Don't you just love the crisp days of autumn?  I do and I'm especially enjoying creating beautiful fall cards in my crafty space.  Today's cards were made for the new challenge starting over at the Dies R Us Challenge blog.  The theme is Pumpkins and/ or Apples.
Dies R Us carries the best lines of dies from so many amazing companies and this set from Sue Wilson, called Wooden Garden Cart is one of my favorites right now.

I cut all of the dies from the set out of Elizabeth Craft Designs Soft Finish Cardstock and added color using Distress Oxide Inks with blending sponges. 

 By keeping the dies in the die cuts and adding ink through the openings, shows the wonderful detail of the dies. I used printed paper from Echo Park's Fall Break.

The die set includes all these fabulous fruits and vegetables, and I just had to make another card using the rest of the die cuts.  

To this card, I added a rake from Marianne Designs which is a special order event at Dies R Us.  The sentiment is from MFT's Harvest Mouse


You can join in on this fun, festive, fall challenge here.  The winner receives a Dies R Us Gift Certificate.  

Hope you have a happy fall Y'all!  

Thanks for stopping by!
