Print Instructions Pin Instructions

Supplies Needed
  

  • Crushed Curry Cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (scored at 4-1/4)
  • Mossy Meadow Cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4"
  • Very Vanilla Cardstock: 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" (2 pieces)
  • Lemon Lolly Cardstock: 1/2" x 3"

Instructions
 

  • Fold the Crushed Curry Cardstock in half at the score line to create your card base.
  • Adhere one of the 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" pieces of Very Vanilla cardstock inside the card and decorate as desired.
  • Using the other piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, place on a scratch piece of paper and tape onto the paper using non-stick tape such as Washi Tape or Painters Tape.
  • Place Mask #1 onto the Very Vanilla cardstock and lightly sponge Crushed Curry ink onto 3 of the pumpkins and Blackberry Bliss over 3 of the pumpkins, sponging gently over the mask using a Blending Brush.
  • Remove Mask #1 and line up Mask #3 and sponge Crushed Curry onto the Crushed Curry pumpkins and Blackberry Bliss onto the Blackberry Bliss pumpkins. If desired, go back over the Crushed Curry pumpkins and lightly add a bit of Blackberry Bliss ink.
  • Remove Mask #3, line up Mask #4, and sponge Pecan Pie onto the pumpkins to create the stems. Remove the mask, set all 3 masks aside to clean later. Tip: I run them under cool water and stand up against a backsplash to let dry naturally.
  • Adhere the Very Vanilla cardstock to the Mossy Meadow cardstock and adhere to the front of the card.
  • Stamp the Thank You onto the 1/2" strip of Lemon Lolly cardstock using Crushed Curry ink. Adhere to the front of the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.
  • Tie a bow in the Neutrals Jute color of your choice and adhere to the front of the card as desired. Add several radiant gems as desired to finish.
