Fall cards are some of my absolute favorites to make. There’s just something about cozy critters and colorful pumpkins that feels like a cozy crafty hug.

The September Fall in the Forest Hero Arts Studio Club is packed with everything you need for autumn fun… adorable woodland friends, pumpkins, matching dies, fall cardstock, and enamel dots. I couldn’t resist making two different cards: one with a sweet squirrel peeking through a tree window and another that’s all about being thankful with a pile of pretty pumpkins.

Peeking Squirrel Die Cut Window Card

This little squirrel has totally stolen my heart. I created a window in the tree trunk so it looks like he’s peeking out while holding onto that sweet little heart. To bring in some texture, I ran the kraft background through a woodgrain cover plate. All the images were stamped, die cut, and colored with Copic markers, making the whole scene come to life.

Copic Colors: E51, E53, E57, E59; YR02, YG13, YG17; R05

The best part? When you open the card, the scene continues inside with a little squirrel, some acorns, and the sweetest thankful for you sentiment. I love that it’s fun to open, but still leaves plenty of room for a handwritten note.

Thankful Pumpkin Pile

This card just makes me happy. A mix of orange, teal, and warm grey pumpkins turned out so fresh and fun for fall. I popped them up on a softly ink-blended background, framed it all with a postage edge die, and sprinkled in a few enamel dots. The little thankful sentiment ties it all together. Simple, clean, and ready to send some gratitude.

Copic Colors: W1, W3; Y18, Y38; BG01, BG05

I hope these fall card ideas spark some inspiration for your own crafty time. Whether you love playful critters, piles of pumpkins, or just adding a touch of texture and color, there are so many ways to bring the cozy feeling of autumn into your cards.
