Happy Halloween from 4 Pumpkins! New PDF!

Jack-o-Laterns are the best! When my kids were little, pumpkin carving was a huge part of Halloween.

This card was pretty easy. I stamped the pumpkins four times with Pumpkin Pie on Basic White cardstock. I added the faces to three, and the sentiment on one. I only needed one stem since they are stacked on top of each other.

The background was first colored with Balmy Blue and a Blending Brush. I then stamped the leaves on the bottom with Garden Green. I then embossed the whole thing with the Raindrops embossing folder.

Added the pumpkins with Dimensionals, done!

Measurements:

  • Pumpkin Pie 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″
  • Basic White 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
  • Scraps of Basic White.

New PDF! Pick of the Patch! 4 cards- all have different sentiments. One is for Halloween, the others for thank you, blessings, etc. You can see it here!

Halloween Monsters on Wobbles! (Craft Springs)

Like I told you when I made the candy corn card, I got the Tricks & Treats bundle and had a hard time figuring out what to do with it. And then I made 8 cards! This one is one of my favorites. Pretty easy.

I stamped Frankenstein monster twice with Pumpkin Pie and Memento ink. Die cut.

I stamped the vampire twice with Smoky Slate and Memento ink. Die cut.

I stamped the Pick of the Patch sentiment with Memento and die cut with the Stylish Shapes dies. I added Pumpkin Pie ink on top with a Blending Brush.

I die cut 4 squares from the Stylish Shapes dies with the Them Bones DSP.

My Basic White cardstock is embossed with the Cane Weave embossing folder.

Add the four squares to the embossed paper. I like to put the Tombow glue on them, let them dry a bit so they are moveable before completely set to the cardstock. That way you can make sure they’re perfect!

Glue to the sentiment in the middle of all 4 squares.

I added wobbles/craft springs to each monster and added them to the squares. Make sure there’s enough space in the center so that you’ll be able to read the sentiment.

Measurements:

Pumpkin Pie 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″

Basic White 5-3/8 x 4-1/8″
