Painted Pumpkins - Hello Gourd-geous

Painted Pumpkins Bundle + Stylish Shapes Dies

I have a deep love for pumpkins and I am not sure I can really explain it. I think each shape and color are beautiful in their own way. I love the weight of a pumpkin in my arms after picking out the "perfect" pumpkin at a pumpkin patch. I've attended giant pumpkin regatta's (which are crazy fun!).

One of my step-daughters was born on Halloween, and I had a ton of fun with pumpkins for her birthday every year. One year for her birthday, we lined our walkway with carved pumpkins, using them as luminaries. For her 21st birthday we had relatives and friends carve message into the pumpkins while they were young on the vine. So as they matured the messages were scarred into the face of the pumpkins.... then we drove to see her at university and delivered all the messages. That was so much fun!

Now a days, I tend to just carve one happy faced pumpkin. But I hold those memories close to my heart. It was just so much fun.

Painted Pumpkins Bundle + Stylish Shapes Dies

The Painted Pumpkins Bundle from Stampin' Up!® is a winner!! The bundle has pumpkins to stamp & die cut, or detail die cut pumpkins..... OR masks to ink up a set of pumpkins!

To create this card I used the masks for the pumpkins, detail dies for the leaves on the pumpkins, and stamped the sentiment. The options are literally endless with this bundle!

This first card has a TON of stacked dimensionals. Watch this YouTube video for a more reasonable amount of dimensionals so that the card can be mailed.

My original card was decorated on the inside, but in the above video I added a birthday sentiment.

If you like using blending brushes, you will enjoy making this card!

Violet Dreams Suite Collections in Fresh Freesia

Its been a super busy week with all the preparations for the catalog launch party last Saturday...... so now I am in catch up mode.

Last week's Monochromatic Insta Hop color was Fresh Freesia. I chose to use the Violet Dreams Suite Collection to show off this color to its fullest. Everything on this card is from the same suite.

Violet Dreams Suite Collection in Fresh Freesia - Detail View

This striped DSP is my favorite print in this lovely collection. The ribbon makes the sweetest bows! And the Adhesive Backed Blooms are just perfect for flower centers! They come in 3 colors but I used the white blooms for my flower centers. It was really a toss up between the white and the Fresh Freesia.

To tie the card front and inner card together I used the same striped DSP for the inner matte layer.
