Count Your Blessings


I love how Copic markers makes this card pop. I also added cut outs of the acorns using dimensionals to add dimension. A little Wink of Stella on the acorn tops to give it some sparkle. 

Directions:
1. Cut the pumpkin pie card base at 5 1/2 x 11. Score and fold it at 4 1/4. Emboss the front using the layered leaves embossing folder.

2. Using chocolate chip ink stamp the acorns and leaves on whisper white card stock. Color one using copics or Stampin' Blends. I will list the Copic colors I used at the end. Color and cut the acorns out of the second image.  I did not color the acorns on the first image. I only outlined the with a brown copic marker to give the appearance of coloring. Use the thin side of a chocolate chip marker to color in the branches.

3. Cut the colored image out using the stitched circle framelits. Cut a solid circle of garden green using the layering circles framelits. Tape these together. Use dimensionals to add the cut out acorns to the image. Add sparkle to the acorn tops with Wink of Stella.

4. Cut garden green card stock at 2 x 5 1/2 and whisper white at 1 3/4 x 5 1/2. Stamp the words on the whisper white card stock using chocolate chip ink. I used the words from Painted Harvest on the front. Using chocolate chip ink stamp the large leaf from the acorn stamp three times around the words. Color the leaves with Copics. Attach the white to the garden green.

5. Attach the long strip to the card front. Use dimensionals to attach the acorn image. 

6. Tie a bow with linen thread and attach this to the stem using a glue dot.

7. For the inside stamp the words and a partial acorn image with chocolate chip ink on whisper white card stock cut at 5 1/4 x 4. Color the image with Copics. Attach it to the inside.

8. I stamped the entire acorn image with chocolate chip ink on the envelope. I did not color it.

Copic Colors I used:
Acorns: E59,39,37,35
Acorn Tops: E49,59,39
Orange: YR09,07,16
Yellow: Y19,15,13
Green: YG67,63,13

Gourd Goodness


I love the depth of color you get from this two step photopolymer stamp set. The images are so easy to hand cut you don't need expensive framelits.

Directions:

1. Cut a pumpkin pie base at 4 1/4 by 11. Score it at 5 1/2 and fold it to make the base.

2. Cut two whisper white pieces at 5 1/4 by 4. One is for the inside. Run the other one through your Big Shot using the Layered Leaves embossing folder.

3. Wrap linen thread twice around the embossed whisper white card stock. Tie a bow on the left side. Tape this to the pumpkin pie base.

4. Use your Big Shot and the Layering Circles framelits to cut the circles under the pumpkins. The lemon lime scalloped circle is 2 3/4 across. The whisper white circle is almost 2 1/2 inches across. Stamp the whisper white circle with a sentiment using pumpkin pie ink above the center mark. You make me smile comes from the Colorful Seasons stamp set. Use dimensionals to attach this to the embossed base on the right side.

5. On a whisper white scrap using pumpkin pie ink stamp the first layer of both pumpkins. Stamp the second layer on top of each using Tangerine Tango. Stand up to line up the two layers if you are having difficulty matching the images. Stamp a stem on each using chocolate chip ink. Hand cut around both of them trimming off the stems to a desired length. Use dimensionals to attach them to the card front.

6. Using lemon lime ink stamp the first layer of the gourd, full strength. Stamp the second layer also in full strength lemon lime. Let the stamp sit on the paper a little longer to absorb more ink. Stamp the stem in chocolate trim. Trim as in step 6. Use dimensionals to attach this to the base.

7. Punch 3 leaves out of lemon lime card stock using the Leaf Punch. Use tape to attach them under the pumpkins where desired.

8. For the inside stamp two orange pumpkins and stems side by side directly on the whisper white card stock on the left side of the card stock. Stamp and cut out one additional green gourd and one additional lemon lime leaf. Use dimensional to attach them on top of the orange pumpkins.

9. Stamp the largest pumpkin and stem on the envelope.

Don't think that Halloween Happiness is just for Halloween. To make this Thanksgiving card I used  markers and colored in only the pumpkins that I wanted. After I stamped the pumpkins I punched them out (1-1/4 inch punch) so I could move them around under the punched designer paper (1 inch punch) to get them exactly where I wanted them.
 
I used Tags 4 You for the words. It is available in a bundle which includes both the set and the punch at a 15% discount. I stamped the words in Early Espresso and punched it out with the  Label Bracket Punch. Then I stamped them again in Tangerine Tango and punched out just the center with a 1-1/4 inch circle punch. I used a Dimensional to adhere it to the Espresso punch lining up the Vanilla swirls.
 
This would make a cute fall scrapbook page, too!

Autumn Harvest

This one was fun to make. First we stamped the pumpkins with black stazon on glossy white cardstock. Then we used a white SU crayon and drew around some of the black so it would resist some of the color and create shading. Then we used ink and daubers to swirl the color on. Then we cut that piece into three and attached them to the black cardstock. This was all attached to olive cardstock. The words are from an old set. We used three black brads.

Pumpkin Poop Treat Box


 Give the gift of pumpkin poop! This basket was made with a 4x4 piece of pumpkin pie cardstock scored at 1 inch on two sides and 11/2 on the other two dies (assemble the box). Cut a 8 inch handle using the scallop ribbon punch, attach it to the inside of the box using red sticky tape. Punch out 5 medium ovals, sponge the edges with tangerine tango then lightly with chocolate chip. Layer them together like a pumpkin. Use the face from Autumn Harvest with black stazon. Cut a chocolate chip stem with the word window punch and some celery leaves with the little leaves die and your Big Shot. I cut them apart to get them around the stem. Attach them to the back of the pumpkin. Fill a small cello bag with candy corn and tie it off with some celery ribbon. Put it in the box. The poem was printed on the computer, cut out, then mounted on a piece of celery cardstock. It says, I started to carve a pumpkin With my carving knife and scoop. But the pumpkin got so scared, He took a little poop!
