Hello, G45ers!
We are back with more Fall inspiration in honor of our September challenge, #G45FallDecor. To help us get inspired, Magda Cortez is here with her fantastic French Country - DCE Pumpkin Centerpiece. This one of a kind piece starts with a perfect pumpkin base and adds just the right amount of Graphic 45 flair, with fussy cut flowers and metal brads. The leaves and twine are fun additions to help get into that Autumn spirit as well. To keep the French Country inspiration flowing we also have a #SimplyG45 60-second Quad-Card video tutorial by Sandy Trefger. So have fun checking out our special double feature below.

#G45FallDecor Pumpkin Centerpiece
By Magda Cortez
"Hi All… Did you know September Challenge is Fall Decor? Well.. it is!! And I love, loveeee Fall so I think it was a good moment to participate.. So here is my French Country #G45FallDecor
Using one of those pumpkins we can buy at the craft stores I just fussy cut the beautiful Sunflower page from the French Country Paper Collection.. It is perfect.. Those sunflowers are the perfect match.
Also, I die cut some fall leaves and glue it here and there to cover more surface of the pumpkin.
Tip One: Twine always gives a touch of Fall. Why? I don’t know hahaha but I love it!
Tip Two: Add some Fall foliage to add more volume.
To give a different texture and add something unusual.,I use the Stamped Metal Brads they are beautiful and I think they give a more elegant look.
I love..love my French Country #falldecor pumpkin and now it has a special place in my house. Did you like it? Do you decorate your house for Fall?
Hope you enjoy this inspirational project.
XOXO”

French Country Quad Fold Card Sixty Second Video Tutorial
By Sandy Trefger
I love creating fancy fold cards and this quad fold is so unique. It was perfect for the French Country DCE along with some pretty miniature silk sunflowers. Personal handwritten notes and cards aren’t sent in the mail as much as they used to be. They are definitely becoming a rare commodity. I think that a pretty, handcrafted card along with a handwritten note given or mailed would brighten anyone’s day.

Tip:
For a different look, place your stamped sentiment on the inside of your card with lots of white or cream color space for adding a personal handwritten message.
Mix up patterns/designs from a collection for the different sections, layering for variety and pair with a solid card stock color that compliments the paper collection." ~Sandy
