The greenery cutter file nursery

Do digital green thumbs count?  My desktop looks like a greenery nursery with all the cutter files I am designing for the eri-doodle blog. This pine branch is available as a SVG cutter file and can be re-sized without losing quality. 

I am currently seeking testers for this file.* If you are interested, I'll send you the cutter file for free in exchange for a picture of how you used it. It doesn't not have to be the main focus in your design. Email eri-doodle here

 Everyone else, can buy this SVG cutter file for $2.99. File will be sent via email.

Owls are a hoot!

When the popularity of owls rose, I wasn't too fond of them. Memories of those ugly macramé owl wall hangings flooded back from my childhood. Mom made a few and I think I even helped, but that didn't make me like them any better.
  Today, owls are everywhere and I have grown to adore these big eyed birds of prey.

  Although I created mine in traditional colors, they would be adorable in non-traditional colors also. Thinking pinks, purples and greens.
 Included free in this eri*doodle blog is a hand drawn template. I was trying to avoid the perfect shapes to add character. Right mouse click and save image as for full resolution and size.

Easy to design paper piecing pumpkin

There is something about those funny shaped gourds and pumpkins you find this time of year. Each one seems to have a personality of it's own. In this lesson you will learn how to design your own paper piecing pumpkin. Yes, I said design! Don't worry, these are easy to make and I have also included a FREE eri*doodle template to get you going. These look great gathered up on a page.

What you need:
Paper or textured card stock (best). I used plain orange paper for example.
Pencil
Scissors
Scrapbooking chalks
Glue
Accessories

Step 1: Either save the template (right mouse click) or draw 4 ovals and the simple center shape, see template or photo for the example on this. They don't have to be perfect. We want each to be unique as pumpkin should be.
Get creative! Try other sizes and shapes to make a variety of pumpkins. Short, skinny, fat or round. Anything goes. It's difficult to mess these up. The only thing to remember is the center should be same height as the others or a little larger.

Step 2: Cut them out.

Step 3. Dry placement. No glue just yet. Lets get a feel for how you want to arrange them. Layer them from the ends as they will be your pieces on the bottom. Overlap them as desired. If you need to reshape any, now is the time.

Step 4. Use Scrapbooking chalk to add shadowing around the edges. I used brown here. If you rather, you could wait and glue glitter onto piece after it's assembled.

Step 5. Add glue just along edge that will be covered by overlapping piece. Remember to start at the ends and work towards center.

Step 6. Add stem and accessories such as vines or leaves.
