Fall into Fun with Di's Digital Challenge: Pumpkin Hedgehogs Shaker Card

Hello crafty friends!

I'm beyond excited to share a card I created for Di’s Digital Challenge, where we’re asked to incorporate a digital stamp into our designs. For my entry, I chose the Pumpkin Hedgehogs image from Di’s Etsy shop, and I had a blast putting it all together. If you’re a fan of adorable autumn-themed projects, you’re going to love this one!

The Digital Stamp: Pumpkin Hedgehogs

First off, how cute are these little hedgehogs? I fell in love with this image the moment I saw it. The pumpkin and the sweet hedgehog are the perfect combination for a fall-themed card, and I knew right away that I wanted to turn this into a shaker card. The image was a dream to color (I used my Prismacolor Pencils), and it really helped bring the warmth of fall into the design.

A Fun Fall Shaker Card

For this project, I created a 5x7-inch shaker card. The shaker portion sits on the bottom of the card, and I thought it would be fun to add some sparkle and texture with gold glitter and various fall-colored elements—think leaves, tiny pumpkins, and even a bit of sequins for extra shine. To give the shaker window some character, I die-cut the word "Fall" right into the window so the sentiment shines through. It’s simple but effective!

Layering for Depth and Texture

To really make the digital image pop, I decided to layer the Pumpkin Hedgehogs over a delicate paper doily. The doily gives the card some added texture and visual interest, while also allowing the hedgehog image to stand out as the focal point. I love how the layers of paper come together to create a dimensional feel—it's like a little peek into a cozy fall scene!

Fall Colors and a Sunflower Accent

I kept the color palette warm and inviting with rich fall hues—rust oranges, deep yellows, and soft browns. The background is made from a fall-patterned paper that ties everything together. And to finish off the card, I added a mini sunflower for an extra touch of autumn charm. This little accent just brings everything to life and adds a little pop of sunshine.

A Truly Fun Experience

This card was an absolute joy to create. From coloring the adorable Pumpkin Hedgehogs to designing the shaker window and layering all the fall-themed elements, it felt like a perfect celebration of the season. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be part of Di’s Digital Challenge Design Team—thank you for having me!
