Hello crafty friends! It’s Bobbi here with a pretty patch of watercolor pumpkins. I love working with watercolors and when I have small pieces left over, I put them in a box to use later. For this card, I used many bits and pieces of my watercolor scraps to make these pretty pumpkins and leaves. I’m using the Pumpkin Patch dies for this 5″ X 7″ card.
To create this card, I added a wash of aquas, yellows and oranges on a strip of watercolor paper and adhered it to my white card base, front panel. I like the non-traditional colors of this backdrop. I added 1/8″ strips of white cardstock on the top and bottom of the strip for a clean finish.
For the pumpkins, leaves and vines, I die cut them from various scrap pieces that blended well with the watercolor background I chose. I love the deep orange colors with the soft, light blends. The contrast makes the card more interesting.
These pumpkin dies include three layers for each fruit in the set. I glued the two bottom layers together and used a foam tab under the top layer to make the pumpkins dimensional. This also allowed me to tuck a leaf or two in between the layers, too.
I attached all three pumpkins in a row, at the bottom of the watercolor strip to ground them. I attached more falling leaves on the front. Lastly, I stamped the phrase from the holiday stamp set, Cozy Christmas. I think it really fits this card. We love putting pumpkins around our house to decorate for fall. I hope you like it!

Hey
friends! Cathy here today sharing a card on the simpler side with a soft and
peaceful feel using the Pumpkin Patch Dies.
To start, I
die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the frame portion of the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies and
the center portion of the Frilly Frames Stripes Dies.
I adhered this panel to an ivory A2 card base.
Next, I die-cut
the pumpkins from Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock and colored
them with Copics. I thought it would be fun to make a few different sizes by
die-cutting just 2 layers instead of all 3 to form a taller skinnier pumpkin
and a small pumpkin. The blue pumpkin is assembled with all 3 layers. I also
used the vine die as a stem on the smaller pumpkins for a whimsical look. I
love the versatility of these dies!
I die-cut a few
leaves to tuck in around the pumpkins from the Autumn Greenery Dies and
the Winter Greenery Dies from
white cardstock. I inked them with Crushed Olive, Tumbled Glass and Old Paper
Distress inks and added a few Copic accents to some of the leaves. To finish, I
heat embossed a sentiment from the Autumn Greetings Stamps on
light gray cardstock and fussy cut around it.
I hope you
enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my
