Born to Stand Out


This card was created using the brand new set from Doodle Pantry called Pumpkin. This is actually your last day to get this set FREE/WITH PURCHASE. This is a phenomenal set and you get tons of pumpkins in this set, including beautiful white pumpkins.


To make this card I used one style of one of the orange pumpkins (PRE-COLORED) and duplicated it 3 times. The two on the left where flipped horizontally using my image software. A white pumpkin (PRE-COLORED) was added in the middle and made to appear in front of the others. The image was then brought into the Silhouette Designer software program and I traced it to get an outline cut.  I then did a print and cut. The cornstalk is a cut-file from Silhouette's online store. I cut it in white and then used various Stampin' Up! inks and finger sponges to color it (Garden Green, Wild Wasabi, Soft Suede, Baked Brown Sugar and Daffodil Delight). The gorgeous designer paper is also from the Pumpkin set. I typed the sentiment in Microsoft Word using the Chiller font and printed it on white card stock. It was then punched out using the Decorative Label punch from Stampin' Up! and distressed around the edges using Basic Black and Soft Suede inks. The card was assembled with a brown card stock base  and adding the designer paper on top of that. I cut a 5" square piece of white card stock and distressed it with Baked Brown Sugar and Soft Suede inks. The colored cornstalk was glued down onto the white card stock, leaving just two of the husks unglued. The sentiment was glued between the husks and then the final husks were glued down. The row of pumpkins was added last and they were added using pop dots to raise the image off the page.

Remember that in addition to being the last day to get the Pumpkin set free w/purchase, it is also the LAST DAY to enter the Doodle Pantry Blog Challenge #38 for a chance to win a Doodle Pantry gift certificate and receive the Jingle Ants set free.


Stay tuned to the Doodle Pantry Blog because there are some great changes coming October 1.
