It’s the Thanksgiving long weekend for me and my fellow Canadians this weekend! I can’t wait to have some time off and spend some time with my family. I’m also looking forward to some crafting time. In the meantime I thought I’d share a card fitting for the holiday using the Pretty Pumpkins bundle. This is such a great set for this time of year! And I love the images and phrases.
The idea for this card was sparked by another card created by a fellow demonstrator. I loved the idea of creating a frame on a card. When I thought of creating my frame I thought of one of the black and white patterns from the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper. This one is full of leaves and I don’t know about you but I love the fall colours. So on the DSP I used the Blending Brushes to add Cajun Craze and Bumblebee. To create the frame I used one of the larger Stitched So Sweetly dies. (I’ll be using the cut out piece for another project for sure.) Then I popped up the frame using some Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The phrase came from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set. And then I used the coordinating dies, Detailed Pumpkins, to add a few pieces of the Brushed Metallic cardstock. I love the detail on this pumpkin, don’t you?!
I can’t wait for the fall colours! In the meantime I guess I’ll have to make due with my crafting. You can pick up the Pretty Pumpkins bundle in my online store. And if you’d like to check out some other fall/nature themed cards I shared some here earlier this week.
