I got the Glow of Harvest designer series paper and am just in love with it and the shimmery finish it has. I then had to buy the Painted Pumpkins stamps, also from Stampin’ Up, to go with it and I used both for this card. I put Wink of Stella over my finished pumpkins to make them match the paper. I am just in love with this card, but I also love anything fall.

To start this card cut a card base to 5 ½” x 7 ¼” out of Cajun Craze card stock and score at 3”. Cut a second piece to 2 ¾” x 4” and score at ½”. From some Golden Glow card stock cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 5 ¼”, one to 2 ½” x 3 ¼” and a third to 1 ¼” x 5 ¼”. Then take your Glow of Harvest designer series paper pack and find the piece with the twigs and floral sprigs. Cut a piece to 2 ½” x 5” and a second to 1” x 5”. Then from a piece of white card stock cut a piece to 2 ¾” x 5 ¼”.
Take your card base and the second Cajun Craze score piece and adhere the ½” scored section of the smaller piece to the right edge of the back panel centered. Now adhere the 1” x 5” piece of your Glow of Harvest paper to the 1 ¼” x 5 ¼” piece of Golden Glow and then adhere that along the right edge of your back panel, in about 1/8” from the right edge. Now adhere your white piece, butted up to the edge of your Golden Glow, on your back panel.
For the front left panel of your card base adhere the 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” piece of Golden Glow card stock and then the 2 ½” x 5” piece of the Glow of Harvest paper to that. Now take your final piece of Golden Glow paper and adhere it to the front of your flap.
Now take a piece of scrap white card stock and stamp the three pumpkin group in the Painted Pumpkins stamp set that has the tall skinny pumpkin in it in your Crumb Cake ink. Then also the double leaf stamp and the “Hey” greeting, all in Crumb Cake ink. Use the Painted Pumpkin dies to cut out the pumpkins and the leaves. Then with the “Hey” greeting trim down and cut into a banner. Then from the Flowering Meadows stamp set stamp two of the pine sprig. Then take the larger spring stamp and dap in Crumb Cake ink and then use your Cajun Craze Stampin’ Write marker to color over the areas that look like flowers or leaves so your stamping will be two-toned, then huff on your stamp and stamp on your white card stock, and repeat for your second sprig. Use the dies to cut all four of these out. Lastly, from the Delightful Wishes dies cut out a tree branch, trim down to the top of the first sticks for length but use both in your background on the flap.
Now take your three cut out pumpkins and let’s start the coloring. With your Golden Glow Light Stampin’ Blends pen color in each of your pumpkins, then color in a bit of the bottom and top with a second layer for effect. Now take your Color Lifter Stampin’ Blends and color some of the center of each section and give it a minute to pull out some of your color, which gives it all a great effect. Once they are to your liking color over the whole pumpkin with a Wink of Stella pen to add a similar shimmer effect as the designer series paper has.
Now adhere your twigs to the front flap on the left edge, overhanging on the left and the top. Then with pop dots adhere the tall pumpkin in about ¾” from the left and then the shortest pumpkin overlapping the tall pumpkin slightly on the right. Adhere the two leaves to the back of the smallest pumpkin with the leaves overlapping on both pumpkins. Give your “Hey” banner a wave and then adhere under the taller pumpkin angled to the upper right. Now adhere one of each of your sprigs over the twigs on the left side of your tall pumpkin toward the top of your flap and then the other two with pop dots to the lower section of your flap.
For the inside, adhere your last pumpkin in the lower left corner of your white section and then stamp the “I hope your day is fabulous” greeting in Crumb Cake ink in the upper center of the white piece.
I am just in love with this card and these pumpkins. I can’t wait to make more and to be able to give this card to a friend.
