Autumn Harvest | Karyn Crops

Before we get too far into the winter season, I want to share a few fall layouts that I created this year. I originally shared these layouts with Creative Life Scrapbooking as I’m one of the 7 designers on the CLS team. Make sure to like and follow us on Facebook as we share new layout ideas each week, and our annual Holly Days feature will begin on December 8th.

My first layout is full of fun owls! I used the Owl Build-A-Punch from Creative Memories to create this grid style layout. I used paper from the 2023 Croptoberfest Kit and Accessory Paper Pack for the squares and a variety mat and stickers from the Autumn Harvest Collection. I also used the Leafy Vine Border Punch. By changing the placement of the eyeballs, I created different expressions on the owls. Unfortunately, the Owl Build-A-Punch is now sold out, but hopefully many of you were able to purchase it earlier this fall.

Look close! For this layout, I used the Owl Build-A-Punch (sold out) to create black cats for Halloween! With just a few strokes with a fine tip silver pen, I transformed the owls into cute cats. I also love how the pumpkins mimic cat eyes! The layout is topped off with a border that I punched using the Original Border Maker System and the Bats & Stars Border Maker Cartridge. I used papers from the Sunflowers Field Paper Pack and Black Cardstock.

For my last layout, I was inspired by the cover of a Southern Living magazine to create my gorgeous layered pumpkin embellishment. For this layout, I used papers and stickers from the beautiful Autumn Harvest Collection. I love the unexpected shade of blue in this collection! It’s a bright and fun alternative to green. I also used the 12-Inch Decorative Trimmer, Pumpkin Patch Frame Punch (now sold out), Leafy Vine Border Punch and the Sweet Blossom Trio Punch (exclusive).

Instructions for this layout, can also be found on the Creative Life Scrapbooking website.

Happy Scrapping!

I used an easy folding technique for my layouts today. It’s a simple concept that results in a big impact.

To create the layout, you’ll need two sheets of designer paper and a coordinating sheet of cardstock. One of the paper pieces will be your reveal piece, so select a cute print for that. You’ll use both sides of the second sheet of designer paper that you fold.

You’ll only need your 12-Inch Trimmer with a decorative blade. I used the Scallop Blade for both of my layouts. I used the Autumn Harvest Collection for my first layout and the Nordic Winter Collection for my second layout.

Please see my YouTube video for a quick demo of how to create the layout.

This layout can also be turned on its side, so that the reveal portion is at the top or bottom of the layout. I can’t wait to see all of your different versions! For an entry into my Monthly Door Prize Drawing, please share a photo of your layout with us in my Facebook group, Karyn’s Croppers. Go to the Technique Tuesday 52 Album and click the ADD PHOTO button to upload your photo into the album.

All of the tools and materials that I used can be found on my Creative Memories website.
