So I decided to double dip tonight – resuming Detailed Gate week with gate project #4 (so remember to comment) and pairing it with the Pick A Pumpkin Bundle for our featured 2017 Stampin’ UP! Holiday catalog product tonight.
The ideas all week during our Holiday catalog product spotlight have been over the top so I can’t wait to see what everyone has created for our final day.
This card I created for the hop tonight could welcome someone to the neighborhood, your small group, your team, or even to where you work.
There is a lot going on with this card and while I don’t usually get this “busy” I had so much fun going over the top.
If you haven’t used embossing paste before what are you waiting for?? The possibilities are endless. Here is a video I did previously for those who haven’t seen it, don’t know what embossing paste is, or have it and are looking for additional ideas.
For the project I tinted a small bit of embossing paste with smoky slate reinker, die cut the detailed gate with basic black cardstock, then stamped the pumpkins with a variety of our “oranges” – pumpkin pie, cajun craze, tangerine tango and the gourds with crushed curry. The extra color on the pumpkins is achieved by dabbing on some contrasting color after the image is inked up.
Tip for the sign – I threaded the linen thread through a needle and simply pushed the needle through the designer paper so I would have big holes on the sign.
Now let’s get inspired with more Pick A Pumpkin Projects.
