Have you seen the Pretty Pumpkins bundle in the Mini Catalog? The more I play with it, the more I love it! The whole bundle is great, but I particularly love the details on the tall pumpkin and the design on the stamped pumpkin. We made this card in one of my classes recently.
Supplies:
Pretty Pumpkins Bundle (Item number 156478)
Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
Basic Vanilla cardstock: 8.5" x 5.5" card base, 3.75" x 5" layer, and a scrap (I think it was about 2.5" or 2.75" square) for the pumpkin
Cajun Craze cardstock: 4" x 5.25" layer and a scrap to die cut the tall pumpkin
Pumpkin Pie cardstock: a scrap to die cut the smaller pumpkin
Old Olive cardstock: a scrap to die cut the leaf and a very thin strip about 3.5" or so long for the vine
Ink Pads: Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, and Crushed Curry
Sponge Daubers
Metallic Pearls: I used 3 gold ones
Assembly tips:
To get the multi-colored pumpkin, use your sponge daubers to dab assorted colors of ink directly on the pumpkin stamp. You'll want to use a different dauber for each color ink so you don't mess up your ink pads. Make sure the entire stamp is covered in ink before stamping. You might want to breath on your stamp to help re-moisten the ink before stamping depending how long it takes you to ink your stamp.
To curl the vine, rub the Old Olive strip along the edge of your table to break up the fibers. Then roll it around the pointy tip or stylus tip of your Take Your Pick tool. Arrange it to your liking so that one end is under the multi-colored pumpkin and the other is under the leaf. Depending how your vine lays, you may need a little adhesive to hold it down in the middle, too.
I popped up both the leaf and the multi-colored pumpkin.
Thank you for stopping by my blog. I hope you like today's card and it inspires you to get creative.
