Pumpkin Handmade Greeting Card

Hi, crafty friends! It’s time for pumpkins, sweaters, and warm drinks. I’m very excited for that! I created a slimline card with beautiful dimensional pumpkins and a few cute mushrooms. I hope you enjoy!

 Supplies

• Cardstock Warehouse Cardstock Papers
• Tangy Orange Pop-Tone 100lb
• Flame Stardream 105lb
• Nubuck Brown Colorplan 100lb
• Wild Cherry Pop-Tone 100lb
• Evergreen Royaltone Linen
• Forest Green Colorplan 100lb
• Bright White Colorplan 100lb
• Seedless Preserves, Milled Lavender
• Pumpkin Dies
• Bearly Arts Glue
• Foam Tape
• Gold Foil Confetti
• Die-Cutting Machine
• Sentiment stamp
• Black Ink

I die cut the pumpkins from Tangy Orange and Flame and the stems from Nubuck Brown. I wanted three pumpkins with two different colors. I created a large and small pumpkin from Tangy Orange and another small pumpkin from Flame Stardream cardstock. I added foam tape behind each layer for dimension.

I thought it would be cute to add some mushrooms, so I die cut those from Wild Cherry, Nubuck Brown, and Bright White.

I ink blended the Bright White background with two shades of purple; Seedless Preserves and Milled Lavender Distress Oxide Inks. I spritzed the inked background with water to give a distressed look to the card panel. You can either leave this as-is for a flat card, or glue it to the front of a folded card base. 

I die cut the leaves and other greenery from Evergreen Linen and Forest Green. I adhered the pumpkins to the card panel, then tucked the leaves and greenery around the pumpkins. I added those cute little mushrooms around the pumpkins. I adhered the sentiment with foam tape and added a few gold sequins to the background.
