Fall Harvest Sticker Design: Behind the Scenes + Inspiration
Fall is finally creeping in and with it, all the cozy vibes, warm colors, and let’s be honest. Well, here in Texas we are faking it but all the cute decorations are in the stores!
Perfect excuse to design sticker sheets covered in pumpkins, leaves, and little ghosts. This season’s Fall Harvest Collection came straight from a craving to create something soft, playful, and comforting like your favorite sweater, but make it stationery.
And Fall is my favorite season. What is not to love, the weather cooling down, my birthday month (hey Libra's), Halloween, Haunted Houses, Thanksgiving. It's kinda a big deal!

Inspiration for the Fall Harvest Sticker Sheet
Fall has always been my favorite season to design for. The colors are warmer, the textures richer, and the vibes? Pure cozy joy. And you know, I already said I'm biased.
For this collection, I wanted to capture that feeling you get when you step outside on a crisp October morning—pumpkins on porches, leaves crunching under your shoes, and a coffee in hand.
Micheal Myers creeping down the street. Ok maybe not, the last bit.
But come on ya'll its spooky season and I'm here for it! Are you down?
I pulled inspiration from seasonal palettes (burnt orange, mustard, sage) and textures that remind me of fall fabrics and decor.
You know warm fuzzy blankets, of course. You’ll see harvest themes—pumpkins, acorns, and autumn foliage—woven into the sheet.
Then, of course, there are the cuties in costumes, the best parts, right? Omg I'm in love.
Lol, did I mention I'm in love with Fall so much that there is a second collection in process, bringing our witchy friends to life.
Oh, lol, and if that wasn't enough, I created the Fall Art Lab Sticker Projects Tutorial Course for those wanting training wheels or just easy make-your-own sticker projects.

My Creative Process in Procreate
Every design starts as a messy sketch on my iPad. I’m a big believer in letting my ideas be “a mess” at first. It’s all part of the magic. I mean, come on, they are really just a cuter “hot mess” by the time I'm finished.
From there, I refine each shape, experiment with different brushes, and test out colors until it starts to feel right.
My Fall Harvest sheet went through several color tweaks (finding the perfect pumpkin shade is a bigger deal than it sounds!).
If you are obsessed with brushes as I am do't miss Best Procreate Brushes for Stickers (Free & Paid)
If you’ve been wanting to try Procreate for your own art (stickers, prints, or digital designs), I put together a Procreate Starter Kit just for beginners.
It includes my sticker outline brush, a fully layered sticker file showing you exactly how I created a sticker, shortcuts, and simple settings that make designing way less intimidating.
A chaos-friendly shortcut to cute, layered Procreate stickers — even if you’ve never opened the app before.
I created this kit because when I opened Procreate the first time, I had no clue what to tap, layer, or brush. If that’s you, you’re not behind — you’re just beginning. Let’s make it easy and fun.

Procreate makes it easy to layer elements, move them around, and visualize how everything will work together on the final sticker sheet.
