CASology #66: PUMPKIN

Hello, friends!  Tuesday is quickly becoming my favorite day of the week...I do love a new CASology cue! This week we have a fun one...I'm predicting TONS of entries!


I love almost everything about pumpkins...picking, carving, decorating...just not eating!  I know, I know, what's wrong with me, right?  I just don't like pumpkin pie or soup or anything else made with them.  (Sorry!)

That said, I admit that I REALLY like to paper-piece stamped images of pumpkins.  (There are tons of digital freebie images of pumpkins out there if you are in need of an image!)  I recently scored an Inkadinkado stamp set on clearance at the local craft store and have enjoyed playing with it for the past few challenges!  I've enjoyed it so much that I made two cards with it this week!

Version one - a white card base:


(See the score lines better in this one?)



Version two - a kraft card base with dry embossing all over the card:

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Inkadinkado "Autumn Foliage," Studio G "Happy Halloween"
Inks: Hero Arts Grass chalk ink, orange dye ink, Walnut Stain distress ink
Other: Basic Grey "Picadilly" paper, orange and green rhinestones, Sizzix "Flowers" embossing folder


I am also linking these cards up at the Shabby Tea Room for their Week #188 Fall challenge theme (to use a fall theme, stamped sentiment, and pumpkins).   



I can't wait to see your PUMPKIN cards!  Be sure to check out the Design Team cards and upload your entries by 4:00 p.m. (CDT) on Sunday!

  11. My hubby thinks I'm kooky because I eat stuff made from pumpkin all yr round, not just in the fall:). Your card is so sweet! I love how the paper piecing looks against the crisp white bg and the warmth of your Kraft card!
