Halloween Pumpkin Patch

Hi, it’s Rhiannon. Today I have a Halloween card. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, so I was excited to make a card with that theme. The new “Pumpkin Spice” Sparkle Blend from Doodles Paper Playground is really cool because there are lots of little pumpkins in there. I used that for my shaker.

I started by stamping an coloring the boy dressed as a pumpkin. He’s from Clearly Besotted. I colored him with Memento Markers. Next, I stamped the pumpkins, which are from Lawn Fawn’s “Pick of the Patch” stamp set, and also colored them with Mementos. After I cut out the pumpkins and the boy, I was ready to make the shaker.

I cut a large black mat and die cut a medium sized circle near the bottom. The die is from Elizabeth Crafts Designs. Next, I got a piece of acetate and glued it under the die cut circle. Then I die cut black craft foam with the same medium circle to use instead of foam tape. After that I chose a patterned paper (DCWV) for the back of the shaker window. Then I put the Sparkle Blend inside the window and glued everything together. The teeny pumpkins in it are my favorite.

Once it was all glued together, I got a large card base and inked the edges with Tangelo Memento Ink. Then I glued my shaker on to my card base. Then I took my pumpkins and boy and placed them where I wanted them. Next, I glued them all down. Then with the same “Pick of the Patch” stamp set, I stamped “Have a very Happy Halloween” with Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink. Lastly, I positioned my extra sequins and glued them down with On Point Glue.

I like how this card came out. I had fun cutting and positioning my pumpkins like a pumpkin patch. It’s just perfect for Halloween. I’ll be back soon with another project.
