Michi Photostory

I’m still hoping that someday I’ll get to experience fall myself. But for now, I find happiness in crafting and bringing those autumn vibes to life through paper projects. This year, I created a collection of gift tags, greeting cards, gnomes, and scarecrows using different paper crafting techniques.

I made these Fall Scarecrow Gift Tags, and my blog tutorial is now up on the Printable Cuttable Creatables website. Learn how to make this festive Scarecrow Gift Tag, a fun and beginner-friendly project that’s perfect for autumn celebrations. 

Whether you’re packaging baked goodies or party favors, this little scarecrow adds the cutest finishing touch.

I also cut the Fancy Swirls Autumn Leaves and used them for photo props. 

I cut these Male and Female Autumn Gnomes. Unfortunately, my green cardstock wasn’t cooperating. I wasted a lot of paper, so I gave up and just assembled the project. I’m not completely happy with my Male Autumn Gnome, but sometimes crafting is about progress, not perfection!

The Sunflower Pumpkin Card is a ready-to-make file designed by Craft with Sarah. I love how vibrant and cheerful it turned out. 

For this project, I cut the Scarecrow using my Cricut Maker and used my Sizzix Big Shot to cut the card mat from leftover paper I had from the Scarecrow Gift Tags. 

The next day, when our internet was down, I took it as the perfect chance to finally assemble my card. As I started assembling the pieces, I paused because I felt like something was missing, like a fall sentiment. 

That’s when I remembered my new crafting buddy: the Sizzix Sidekick. It’s a gift from my mom, and I was so excited to finally put it to use. I decided to try out the phrase “Hay Fall” for the front of the card.

To match the overall design, I experimented with dark brown, light brown, and orange paper scraps. Each had its charm, but in the end, the vibrant orange won me over. It popped against the background and gave the card that warm, cheerful glow I was looking for. 

Crafting fall themes here in the Philippines is my way of celebrating creativity without boundaries. Seasons may differ, but art has no limits. And sometimes, creating these seasonal crafts allows me to “travel” to places I’ve never been, all through the magic of paper.
