I just love the crisp weather of fall, even though I really do hate to see the warm weather leave. But there's just something about the feeling in the air during these fall months! So I was excited to get to present our feature for the new challenge "Hey Pumpkin". We would love to see anything Fall or Thanksgiving related. Remember it doesn't have to be a card. So if you like to make little decorations for around the house, we would love to see you enter them for a chance to win a free set of your choice! Today, I'm featuring a project that can be used as either a card to send someone in the mail (it folds flat) or as a fall decoration in your home. I love that it has more than one function. I used a die set that is available on Amazon and will be linked below in the Link Deli list.
After choosing what papers I wanted to use from #6273 Country Barn PP and a coordinating cardstock, I die cut the main base along with the connecting pieces. I stamped and colored the fabulous 6266 Country Cow image onto a Copic friendly cardstock. The colors I used for everything are listed below. I then die cut it with the arched scalloped die and adhered it to the base. But before adhering it since I don't watercolor, I took my craft knife and cut a slit along the top edges of the bushel basket and the milk can. The gorgeous arrangement of flowers in the bushel basket and the pretty leaves that are popping out of the milk can are from #6274 Country Barn Accessory Pack. I just fussy cut the leaves from one of them. I took one of the connecting pieces and glued it to the front of the base. After die cutting the scalloped panel for the front, I took a piece of the coordinating cardstock and cut out a piece of grass to glue to the bottom of the front panel. I then stamped and colored a couple images from #6257 ST Happy Fall set and fussy cut them out to place on the front panel as well.
I wanted to add a cute little fence to the center to hold some pumpkins and the birdhouse, so I used #5807 Journal Fence Dies and pieced one together to fit across the front.. After using a grass die on the center panel, I attached the fence and then glued it to the inside of the base frame as shown below.
And finally, here's a picture of the final project.
I cut another scalloped panel and adhered it to the back after stamping a sentiment from #5600 Harvest Sentiment Set
So that completes my feature for the new "Hey Pumpkin" Challenge! I hope I inspired you to create something to enter for a chance to win a free stamp set of your choice! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit today and until next time - stay crafty!!
