Halloween Paper Pumpkin Card

Halloween is upon us! I made some cute cards to give to some friends, using a couple of the past Paper Pumpkin kits. Hope everyone has a fun day, and a not-to-spooky evening! Happy Halloween everyone!

I love doing a z-fold card. First you fold it in half, then fold the top half back on itself, in half again. I don't think the Paper Pumpkin kits I used are still available, and neither is the Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper, but that's okay. It's still cute!
 All supplies used are from Stampin' Up!:
Stamps: Paper Pumpkin: Sept. 2014 - Boo-tiful Bags, and Sept. 2015 - Wickedly Sweet Treat
Inks: Archival Basic Black, Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist
Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry, Cardstock Vellum
Accessories: Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper


Again, I hope everyone has a happy Halloween, and thanks for stopping by!

Remarkable You Sweater Weather #TGIFC130

Sweater weather! That is what we have been having here lately. Dark mornings on the way to work. Frost on the grass in the morning. Leaves turning all shades of red and orange and yellow. It is beautiful, but, I must admit, I am not a fan of the cold weather. But it does encourage me to stay inside and craft more!

Over on TGIF Challenges blog, the challenge this week is a theme challenge called "Sweater Weather" and it is #TGIFC130. Here is my entry:

 All supplies are from Stampin' Up!:
Stamp sets: Remarkable You, Basket of Wishes
Inks: Archival Basic Black, Crushed Curry, Lemon Lime Twist, Pumpkin Pie
Card Stock: Whisper White Thick, Card Stock Vellum, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Big Shot, Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, 
Aqua Brush, Rhinestone Basic Jewels


The leaves on some of the trees around here turn a beautiful shade of gold, and some of them have tinges of pale green and orange, and this was the look I was trying to go for when I watercolored those leaves. They definitely have that Fall/Autumn look to them I think. And if you couldn't tell, this card has a Z-fold on it, with that Cable Knit embossing folder used on the front half-flap.

Here is the Challenge Graphic from over on TGIF Challenges blog:

Thanks so much for visiting my little blog today. I hope you like my card, and I hope you come back soon!
