P is for Pumpkin(s)

Fall, Food and/or Drink items, Holidays, Lawn Fawn, Ocassions, Seasons, Thank you, Thanksgiving

Hello friends!  I hope that your month of November has been a good one for you so far!  It’s getting cooler by the week, but I try to get out to enjoy the warmer days as much as I can before the winter gets here!  

Today is a new challenge over at the Alphabet Challenge Blog!  Our next letter is “P”, and our hostess, Deborah, has chosen “Pumpkin(s)”   I hope you will join in the fun with us!  *Please remember that this is a bi-weekly challenge, so you have two weeks to enter.*  Here’s the project I’ve made for this challenge:

When I saw this challenge, I remembered that I had gotten a stitched pumpkin die set from Lawn Fawn a few years back and haven’t used them yet, so I pulled them out to use for this challenge!  (I had to clip the metal dies apart, so I knew I hadn’t used it yet!)

I decided to cut them out in different colors of cardstock and then ink blended the bottoms of each in a darker shade including the stem on the top pumpkin.  I also took them and splattered some gold, brown and white over all three pumpkins before assembling them in stacking order.

For the card front, I took a stitched white panel and stenciled some leaves (Pink & Main-not in store) in light tan ink.  I made my scene for the pumpkin stack by using some Fall Plaid papers (not in store anymore) by Lawn Fawn for the background and die cutting a hill for the pumpkins to set on.  I placed the plaid paper and ground over a darker brown cardstock layer and popped it up with foam tape over the stenciled leaves card front.  I attached all of these layers onto a white top folding A2 card base.

For the sentiment, I white heat embossed the sentiment (not sure what Lawn Fawn set I used this for it) over dark brown cardstock and cut out a banner to pop up above the pumpkin stack with thin foam squares.  I added a few gold rhinestones for sparkle.

  • Hope you’ve been inspired by my card today and stop on over at the challenge blog to join in the fun with us!  I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I’ll be back tomorrow with another challenge project!

  5. A super colourful card. I love how you’ve played with the different layers and the inks to create dimension and those inks drops are an awesome decoration. Thanks for joining us at A Place To Start. Hugs, María.

  9. The layered plaid background with the stacked pumpkins creates such a warm and festive scene. The splatters and rhinestones add just the right touch of texture and sparkle, making the whole design feel lively and dimensional.

  14. I’m still in blogging catch up mode from this weekend I guess. 🙂 That’s a really lovely autumn card, perfect for this time of year with Thanksgiving coming up. And adding the blue pumpkin was brilliant. I like that idea. And like you, I love plaids too. I think its because you can have so many colors all at once. I hope all is well with you. hugs-Erika
