2021 card challenge - October

Evening all!

Posting this early as I won't be around in the morning.

So, the heating finally went on today which heralds in the change of the season for me and of course the prompt this month goes full on autumn!

However, there's more to this image than meets the eye. It's not just pumpkins and Halloween this month... there's scope for winter and Christmas, but also any occasion because...

The focus colour for October is: Kraft (one of the best neutral shades for any colour combo! :D)

The Pin-spiration is....

I look forward to seeing how you interpret it - remember I've listed a few tips over on the blog post for this month.

The full instructions and details for this year's challenge can be found in the intro post on my blog here.

Past prompts will all be tagged under 2021 card challenge on my blog so you can find them easily in one place.

Also for those of you on Instagram, I'll be using the hashtag #2021handmadecardchallenge to share my projects there, so feel free to use this tag on Instagram as well! :)

Points for this challenge:
This challenge scores you 20 points. :) As with all the other UKS challenges you can only claim this once a month.
But remember you can also claim points for up to 10 cards you make in any month.

So all that remains for me to say is: Happy crafting!

Well, I'm not a lover of kraft card at all but despite it I have bought some lately so if I get back in my craft room I may well join in.:rolleyes:

I look at this and see Gingerbread men… so guess where I’m heading! Lol
Lovely biscuity colours too… mmm yummy

That dog! Gorgeous!
I fancy gingerbread now, thanks Elaine!

Lovely Nat. I like the shop front display

Yep, kraft = gingerbread in my book! I'm sure you'll find a use for your new stash of it Susie. ;)

It also looks great with white heat embossing on it - especially detailed background stamps.

I’ve done this and 5 Kraft BTCR cards too

Here are my BTCR cards https://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photop...83B336474.jpeg

Beautiful card Elaine, love the embossed trees

I agree, lovely embossing and I like the gold touches, a theme going on here, looking forward to seeing more.

That's lovely Elaine.

Fab cards Elaine. :D

I used a craft card for the card itself and added a design on top .. cheating a little perhaps, but I think it works....

What lovely cards Frances.

Lovely autumnal cards Frances. :)

Here's my take using kraft as the backdrop to a curio-style layout with lots of little autumnal features:

Oh, Nat that is so pretty. I love the colours you have used.

Thank you! I knew hanging onto those cardstock scraps, even the smallest ones, would come in handy one day. ;)

Oh that is so pretty Nat and quite unusual too, well done. AND welldine on using scraps, I have two large boxes of them and die cuts which I must organise and try to use up when the craft room is done. Floor going down next, so exciting.

Lovely card Nat. Well done using your scraps.

Halloween theme.
