Hi crafty friends! Can you believe another crafty month has passed already?? And look at this fun little guy in our inspiration photo for the month. I feel him. lol! To check out the Inspiration Station Blog and join the hop challenge, click the link below:
Here's my take on this month's inspiration photo. I have been loving the 5"x7" pop-up card design by Sam Calcott (click her name to check out the tutorial). So, I started of course with picking out colors that corresponded to the inspiration photo.
For the center pop-out of this card, I chose the best pumpkin from a 12"x12" sheet of scrapbook paper from my stash and cut around it to fit.
After cutting the card pieces, choosing the layers and assembling the card, I am loving the color combinations I chose.
I picked up this season's cardstock releases from Michael's Store brand. One of the cut apart sheets had the perfect sentiment!
Next, I needed a pumpkin patch. Brought out my Stampin' Up! inks and their color coordinated cardstocks.
And also my retired Stampin' Up! pumpkin stamp and die sets. And a good ol' trusty old wood block red rubber stamp.
I made a lot of pumpkins. Wasn't sure how many I would need for this card, but I know they will not go to waste! Pro tip: always cut more embellishments than you may need :)
Gluing the pumpkins to the layer with glitter on it was tricky as the glue did not want to adhere. When this happens, I use plastic covered paper clips to hold things while they dry.
For the kitty, I used my new stamp for the season: "Wicked Whiskers" from Brutus Monroe. I stamped him in a light grey ink and colored him in with colored pencils.
For added fun I pulled out my stash of fall die-cut leaves.
I just love how this project turned out! I hope you do too! Don't forget to head over to the Inspiration Station blog and follow the hop and join the challenge!
