Hello! It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. This month we are “casing the catalog” and it’s our third week! Here’s this week’s challenge:

PRETTY PUMPKINS BUNDLE
I decided to use my new Pretty Pumpkins Bundle (July-December Mini Catalog and available for purchase on August 3) on today’s card, along with some bright pumpkin fall colors! I love the look of the ombre background with white on top!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Calypso Coral cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 1-1/4 x 5-1/2 piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock was added to the right side.
- The 1-1/2 x 5-1/2 piece of Pansy Petals Designer Paper was added down the center.
- A 3-1/4 x 4-1/4 piece of Vellum Cardstock was adhered on top..
- The pumpkins and leaves were cut from Basic White cardstock with the Detailed Pumpkins Dies. They were adhered to the Vellum cardstock.
- Gather Together was stamped with Pumpkin Pie Ink on Basic White and hand-cut around the lettering. It was added to the front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some Linen Thread was tied in a bow around the stem of the pumpkin.
- A trio of Opal Rounds were added to the background.

Isn’t that elegant looking? SO fun! Go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this “case the catalog” challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
