FRONT VIEW

The card’s base is Wild Wasabi Cardstock, topped with Soft Suede Cardstock that I ran through the Big Shot, using one of theStampin’ Up! Backgrounds1 Texturz Plates.

The primary element on the card is the pumpkin that I made using the new and MUST HAVE Stampin Up Simply Scored Tool and a Calypso Coral design from the Stampin Up Berry  Blossoms Designer Series Paper (DSP).  Cutting two 2″ x 9″ strips of the DSP, I used the scoring tool to score the DSP at every 1/2″ on one side.  I then turned the DSP over and scored  at every 1/2″, starting 1/4″ from the first score line on the front side (do this for both pieces).  After scoring, the scores lines will be 1/4″ apart.  I folded the score lines in an accordion fashion and glued the ends of both pieces together to form the pumpkin.

The pumpkin’s face is made with Black Cardstock that I embossed with Stampin Up Black Embossing Powder to give it a shine.   I used the 1-1/4″ Circle Punch to make the pumpkin’s eyes, cutting a portion from them.  The nose was made with the Petite Pennants Punch, and the mouth with the 2-1/2″ Circle Punch (I cut the circle in half and cut sections for the teeth).  What do you think of the face?

I share the side view to provide a better view of the 3-D parts of the card.

The inside of the card includes the sentiment,“Happy Halloween” from the new Stampin’ Up! Hand-Penned Holidays Stamp Set.

CLOSE UP OF LEAVES AND VINES

I cut the leaves with Whisper Whitecardstock and theStampin’ Up! Leaves #2 Originals Die.  Using  Stampin’ Up! Sponge Daubers, I colored the leaves with Certainly Celery, Pear Pizzazz, and Garden Green Ink.  Then I used Cajun Craze Ink on selected spots of the leaves.

For the vines, I used the 1-1/4″ Circle Punch to cut a circle from Wild Wasabi cardstock.  I covered it with Cajun Craze ink.  Starting from the outside of the circle and moving toward the middle, cutting in a circle motion.  I then pulled the circle apart to create the pumpkin vines.
