Hello there!

Today I’m using products kindly sent to me by Penny Black from their recent Autumn release, So Very Grateful 2024, plus a few older products.

The beautiful Pumpkin Blooms die set (51-786) was the starting point for my card. At first I thought that I wouldn’t add much to the large pumpkin which measures about 8cm by 7cm at its largest points, but then I realised if I cut the top section off I could fill it with foliage and blooms!

I coloured the pumpkin first before using an edger from the Border Collection die set (51-717) to cut off the top. I layered it on top of the All in one Hexagon background die (51-816) and then the fun really began and I added die cuts from the following sets:

Leaf Layers (51-787) – also from the 2024 release

Pumpkin Parade (51-754)

Autumn Decor (51-653) – one of my all-time favourite sets – I adore that wheat die!

Pumpkins and Leaves (51-360)

I was really annoyed that I somehow managed to get a black mark on my pumpkin. I planned to disguise it with intentional ink splatters or gems but then decided that a well-positioned leaf would do the job very nicely! I also included the pumpkin top and a few more leaves.

To complete my card, I used a sentiment from the Autumn is Calling stamp set (30-863).

Thanks for stopping by!
