Gift Givers is another one of the stamp sets we are featuring this session in our Preview Projects!  I used it to make a fun Halloween card for Pals Paper Arts Halloween Challenge (PPA110) this week!  I think these pumpkins are SO cute all lined up in a row!  Halloween doesn't HAVE to be scary!

 

I started with a base card of Pumpkin Pie and layered on Basic Black.  Then I cut a piece of Pick Your Poison Designer Paper to go over top.  I added the 1 1/4" Basic Black Striped Ribbon that I cut the edges off and fringed it a little.  I also placed down Sticky Strip and ruffled it along the one side.  I added a Pumpkin Glimmer Brad at the end!

 

I also used the Dotted Ribbon Punch and cut two Basic Black pieces to lay down vertically.  I stamped the pumpkin image from Gift Gifts stamp set in Black Stazon on Very Vanilla and watercolored it with my Pumpkin Pie, Sahara Sand and Old Olive Stampin' Write Markers.  It is punched with the Decorative Label Punch and layered and popped up on the XL Oval Punch of Pumpkin Pie.

 

Love how it turned out!  I hope to find some time to work in my stamping studio for a while…but hubby wants to pick out paint colors for a couple rooms.  Fun!  I'll just take my Stampin' Up! cardstock with me!  lol!
