Pumpkins are popping up everywhere now.  So I have a pumpkin card to share.  It is a second look at the Corner Tuck Card I shared a few weeks ago.

Stamps

I truly Love the stamps in the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set. The matching Dies are awesome as well, but I did not use them today.  I stamped the three pumpkins, which is one stamp, and then colored with Stampin’ Blends.  The pumpkins are colored using Both Pumpkin Pie , Light Cinnamon Cider, and Light Old Olive.  I stamped the pumpkins with Soft Suede Ink.

Everyone seems to have their own way of coloring with the Stampin’ Blends.  When I want some shading, like with these guys, I start with an all over using the Light Blend.  I then come back and add the Dark where needed.  I finish with the light again and only drag the dark colors into the lighter area.  By not going all over with the Light the second time, I get the really light in the center of the larger pumpkin.  However, if you have a method that works for you, then stick with it!

Paper

I used the Host Rewards Paper Pack of Pattern Party Designer Series Paper.  This pack of paper is awesome!  The colors are great, as are the patterns.  Plus you get a lot of paper for a very inexpensive price.  The only downside is that you can only purchase it with Host Rewards.  Anyone interested in a Party???

Measurements and Folds

• The base card of Pumpkin PIe is cut 4 1/4 X 8 and scored at the 2 1/2 mark, fold and burnish
• The left side strip layer of Old Olive is 1 X 4
• The left side strip of DSP is 7/8 X 3 7/8
• The focal layer is Old Olive cut 3 X 3
• The stamped White is cut 2 7/8 X 2 7/8
• The upper right corner that is the Tuck, is a piece of Pumpkin Pie and a DSP piece both cut to 2 7/8 X 2 7/8. they are each placed at a diagonal on the Paper Trimmer and cut in half to form triangles.  Then glue the two together for thickness. you only use half, so save one for the next card.
• The inside White, that you do not see, is cut 2 3/4 X 2 3/4

Assembly:

• Place Stampin’ Dimensionals in each of the corners of the triangle double thick piece and place in the upper right corner.
• Adhere the DSP and Old Olive strips together and place on the left side of the flap. Align the left edge, top and bottom.
• Layer the Old Olive and Focal Layer together.  Place it, centered, up against the strip on the left .
• Add the inside White for the sentiment, place it further left than normal so it doesn’t show when the card is closed.
• Close the card by tucking the focal layer underneath the raised upper corner

 

I hope you enjoy this card.  Please let me know if you have any questions!
