Yes, my friends, pumpkins are fruit, not veggies! If you don't believe that, just check Wikipedia. Or simpler yet, read the sentiment on my card and I'm sure you'll agree. :-)
We had a late start with our usual 1st of the Month New Releases at Doodle Pantry but it's here now and to make it up to you, Laurie is running a sale at the Doodle Pantry store. BTW, if you get over there and get some weird error message, be patient. The server had a major crash just as Laurie was getting ready to load all the new sets. Try again in a short while.
My card today uses both an image and a sentiment from the new "Pumpkin" set. There is also a single pumpkin, several sentiments, and some gorgeous papers! This particular set will be the freebie with any purchase made by Sept. 24th. Aren't these gorgeous?
This is a pre-colored image which I stippled after I die cut it, then I mounted it onto that lacy frame die cut (Spellbinders). The papers have been in my fall colors stash for a year and are from DCWV. Everything is layered onto a kraft card base. The white CS on which I printed the stamp and the orange bow are both recycled from a Thanksgiving card I received last year. The white CS was an insert to keep the card flat and the bow tied the envelope shut.
I thought the little pearls on each side of the frame were exactly the right amount and size of embellies since this card has to be mailed. I wanted it relatively flat so that it would fit into a regular envelope.
Challenges:
Crafty Sentiments -- Fav fall colors (green, orange, yellow, brown)
Hobbycutz -- Recycle
Oldie but a Goodie -- Spots & stripes
Pattie's Creations -- Anything goes
Penny's Paper-Crafty -- Spooled items
Pumpkin Spice -- Anything goes
Speedy Fox & Friends -- Frame it
Sweet Stampin' -- Spots & stripes
Whimsy Inspirations -- Masculine
Scroll down for a peek at the whole Pumpkin set, then go check out all the rest of the new releases. Some adorable Christmas sets, and a couple more of Laurie's "Ants." You know what an absolute hoot they always are!
And don't forget the challenge which starts at 10 a.m. Eastern time today. You must use a Doodle Pantry image (not just a sentiment) but you'll get a free set just for playing. A photo of that set is below also. Happy Stamping NanaConnie
