Scenic Pumpkin Patch

I decided to grab the pumpkin stamps again but also I had an idea for using up scraps and wanted to try it out … so I stuck the camera on and recorded the process of making these cards.

I started with strips of white cardstock from the scraps box and coloured them with different colours using my promarkers then adhered them to a piece of cardstock. I then die cut it to create the circle and cut down the remaining to create the frame for the second card.

I stamped the pumpkins using different colours of ink and then added the stem stamps with the green and fussy cut them out.

I decided to keep this one with the circle simple adding the circle to the crumb cake card blank and then adding some black die cut leaves to add contrast. I embellished with the thread bow and some black gems.

I used a Concord & 9th set for the sentiments on both cards matting them with a scrap of Calypso Coral cardstock.

This one was a bit more involved with the cut out from the soft sea foam card which is trimmed to be slightly smaller than the card base. I added some scrap cardstock underneath to raise it up slightly from the base panel.

I added inking and some splatters of the shimmer ink to the base too which added some fun contrast to the front. I also added the white and gold leaves for this one.

I added a nest of the thread behind the sentiment for this one and some glittery gems for embellishment.

Love how they both came out and loved playing with those cute pumpkin stamps. I also am pretty chuffed with how my idea translated for using scraps of cardstock – I think it worked pretty well!

Entering the first card for the autumn colours challenge at Allsorts challenge

Happy crafting!
