Stitched Shape Pumpkin

Hello everyone.

Its Halloween!  What have you got planned?  I am taking my children to a party this afternoon which is organised by our local village and they are very excited.

As its Halloween I thought I would share with you a cute pumpkin card.


To make the card I started by embossing a piece of white card stock with the very gorgeous Tin Tile embossing folder.  I then embossed some early espresso card stock and tore the edges a little and added this to the front of the card.  I wanted a little bit of extra detail so I added some soft suede ink to the white and some lovely copper embossing powder to the brown and heat set this.

I then cut the pieces I needed to make the pumpkin.  I used the smallest oval from the stitched shapes set and cut of 5 of these from pumpkin pie card stock.  I then added some stamped details using the flourish from the Timeless Textures stamp set. I then cut a circle using the same stitched shapes set and glued the ovals to this to resemble a pumpkin.


For the leaves I used the Every Day Jar Framelits and cut out the foliage using 
 cajun craze and crushed curry card stock.

To finish the card I added a little sentiment banner from the Jar Of Love stamp set.

Merry Christmas Makes #4

Hello everyone.

Its project number 4 today.

Merry Christmas Makes

I have another project to share with you using the Making Christmas Bright bundle from Stampin' Up! I love how this set can be combined with other sets to create your Christmas cards.

For this card I have also used Lovely As A Tree and Snowflake Sentiments.

To make the card I started with a piece of white card stock and stamped in the corner the fir tree from the Lovely As A Tree set in Pear Pizzazz and Garden Green.

I then stamped the little bulbs from the Making Christmas Bright bundle using lots of colours from the subtles collection of ink.

I wanted the bulbs to look like they were hanging in the tree so I stamped in black the string part of the stamp set.  I then punched out the lights using the bulb builder punch and added these to the card.

They make a lovely rainbow of lights.


To finish the card I added a stamped greeting.

Thanks for stopping by today and please stop by next Monday and I will share another Merry Christmas Make with you.
