I woke up in the middle of the night and had this card in my head. I grabbed some paper, ink and ribbon and started to create. I love how it turned out and it was so easy. I love using pinks and browns together.

Supplies used:

Paper: Love to Adore; Colonial White, Chocolate, Blush (all CTMH)

Stamps: A Little Thanks (CTMH)

Inks: Chocolate (CTMH)

Embellishments: Scraps of ribbon from my plethora supply

Other items: 3D foam tape

Happy Creating!

Paper Pumpkins

2011-11-18T22:30:00.001-08:00

Aren’t these paper pumpkins simply adorable? They are not only adorable…they are so easy to create.

Want to create one, two or three? OK…let’s do it. Let me show you how.

Cut 10-1 inch x 6 inch strips of your favorite paper.

Stack them together and punch a whole at the top and at the bottom.

Fasten together with a brad. One right-side up and one wrong-side up.

Hold the top brad and pull each piece of paper away from each other…it will start forming a ball (pumpkin).

When they are all pulled away from each other…VIOLA! It is a pumpkin.

Cut two ovals and point the ends…this will be your leaves.

Take 1/ 2 inch by 12 paper and twirl around a pencil. This will create a vine.

Attach the leaves to the top of the pumpkin, add the vines. Add a button.

It is a pumpkin!

Thanks for stopping by!
