Fall is officially here and it is that time of year when the world goes crazy for all things pumpkin! Pumpkin spice, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin tea, pumpkin candles, and let’s not forget all the yummy baked goods! So, September seemed like the perfect time to embrace all things pumpkin, including our paper crafting projects with this month’s theme, Hello, Pumpkin!!

This means that ALL of our projects needed to include a pumpkin stamp, punch art, box, bag etc… OR we could create something that uses Stampin’ Up!’s fabulous Pumpkin Pie as the primary color! It’s all about the pumpkin!

If you are starting with me, don’t forget to hop all the way around to see what Frances Wagner is sharing.  She is so creative and I know it will be great!

I have to admit something.  While I am not a huge fan of all things pumpkin to eat or drink, I love to add pumpkins to my fall decor.  I also love crafting projects with pumpkins, so when the Scenic Pumpkin Patch stamp set came out as an Online Exclusive I had to have it as I knew it would be perfect for some projects I have planned for the next couple of months.

The project I am sharing is a sample scrapbook page I have created for one of my sweet friends and customer, Susi.  Together we create two scrapbooked calendars for two of her sisters each year.  It is always a challenge to come up with something new after fifteen or so years, but I think Susi is going to love making this project.

Here are my basic measurements for the page:

  • 1 piece of Copper Clay 12″ x 12″
  • 1 piece of the woodgrain pattern from the Country Woods DSP 4″ x 12″
  • 1 piece of the Pool Party pattern from the Country Woods DSP 6″ x 8″
  • 1 piece of the Wood Textured Specialty Paper 3″ x 12″.  Use this to die cut the three tags.
  • Scraps of Basic White for the Hello, Pumpkin title, to stamp and cut out the pumpkins for the bottom left tag and for the little Misty Moonlight house on the bottom right tag.
  • Scraps of Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Misty Moonlight and Mossy Meadow for die cutting layering and accent pieces.
  • Copper Clay Jute Trim 8″
  • Natural Polka Dot Trim 5″

While there are a lot of pieces and parts to this project, it isn’t terribly difficult.  It just takes a little time.  Here are a few tips to make it easier and fun:

  • Cut all your paper and cardstock as well as do the die cutting first.  Cut some of the tags with scrap paper and practice stamping your scene, especially if you are like me and not a great two-step stamper.
  • Stamp the bottom of the Copper Clay cardstock with the grass and fence stamp.
  • Stamp the tags.  I stamped and then fussy cut out the pumpkins for the bottom left tag and little Misty Moonlight house.  Both are attached with Mini Dimensionals.
  • Add the ribbon and twine to the tags.  Use a Bone Folder to soften up and curl the Natural Polka Dot Trim.  Be very gentle when adding the ribbon.  I used a Mini Glue to secure the Polka Dot Trim which made adding the Copper Clay Just Trim a LOT easier.
  • Once you have all the pieces ready, assemble the page using your favorite adhesives.
  • In case you are wondering, I borrowed the Photo Placeholder from my Halloween Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit.

Thank you for letting me share my Hello, Pumpkin project with  you!  I hope I have given you some ideas for your next project.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to add any of the products I used.  I would love to help you!

Now, hop on over with me to see what Laurie Meier has created this month.  I know it will be fantastic!

Stay Safe & Crafty!
