Hello, welcome back!
Today's card is a super simple one and fun to make ☺ I used one oval die for the pumpkin plus one leaf die and a fence. Fall is my favorite season and color scheme. Right now we have forest fires very close to us and are getting smoked out! *cough, cough* And the temps are going back up again, so ... Ya, I can't wait for Fall!
As always when I post to the CottageCutz blog, I include my card recipe and instructions! Here you go!
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:
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!
