Paper Pieced Pumpkin

Hello friends!  

It's Kris sharing with you today this easy-to-make pumpkin card for your inspiration!


I was inspired by some other die-cut and punched pumpkin cards on Pinterest and thought I'd give it a go with some cute Fall-themed papers and of course I got creative with my CottageCutz dies! 

CUTTING & SCORING:

Dove White Cardstock:
•  5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
• 3-7/8" x 5-1/8"
• die cut Thanks w/ Shadow (shadow)

Pecan Pie Cardstock (brown):
• 5-1/4" x 4"
• die cut Thanks w/ Shadow (shadow)
• die cut Fence & Grass (fence)

Patterned Papers (Doodlebug Designs: Pumpkin Spice):
• (5)  die cut the 3rd smallest of the Pierced Oval set
• die cut (2) of the large leaves from the Flowers 4x6 die
*Tip... I just cut a piece li'l bit larger than the leaf w/ scissors first then die cut just the leaf
• die cut Thanks w/ Shadow (thanks)
• die cut Fence & Grass (grass)

DESIGN STEPS:

1.  First, I stamped "for all you do" in an olive green in the top right corner of my white layer.


2.  I assembled my pumpkin using foam strips between each of the top 2 layers.



3.  I hand cut a stem for my pumpkin and added some lines with a marker.  I then ran some twine thru a button and glued it to the top over the leaves.  


4.  Next, I decided I wanted more texture on the white layer, so I ran it thru with a lattice embossing folder.  I then smoothed it out with my bone folder, just over my stamped sentiment so it would be easier to read. ☺


5.  I cut apart my fence and grass as shown below so there are 3 slats and 2.


6.  I added my pumpkin with foam strips between the fence.

7.  I offset my brown "thanks" shadow behind the white and then glued my "Thanks" on top and added to the top left corner of card.  Done!


Thanks for looking!  I hope you're inspired to create something CUTE with your CottageCutz dies!

Giving Thanks

Hello everyone,

It's Donna here sharing a few of the newest Fall CottageCutz dies that were just released.  If you missed it, you can find them here.  I don't know about you, but I love the colors and the smell of Fall. The bright orange, browns, reds and yellows are so vibrant and makes the earth look so beautiful. Even though the leaves have not started to change, today it feels like Fall may be here soon.

I am featuring several of the new Autumn release dies, so lets get started on how I created my card.

1.  A2 card - 4 1/4 x 5 1/2,
2.  The first layer is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2,
3.  I cut the solid layer with the CottageCutz Rectangle Set (the largest die),
4.  I cut all the elements that I am going to use on the card,
,
5.  I inked the coffee cup from the Peppermint Latte set (isn't it cool that it is meant to be a Christmas set, but this set is so versatile you can change it up) and the small pumpkin from the Harvest Scarecrow set, the leaf  "Give Thanks" sentiment came from the Give Thanks set,
6.  I added all the elements to my card and glued them with wet glue.

Don't forget about our newest challenge that is running right now. The theme is holiday and here is a link for more information.

I entered this card in the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.
