Hey, friends! Justin Adkins here, and today I am sharing up some super spooky pumpkin spice inspiration with products from our July 2024 release! Today's project features the main pumpkin image from the All Trespassers Will Be Added to the Brew Stamp Set, along with the Layered Flora: Pretty Pumpkin die set! This gourd-faced monster was so fun to put together, so let's get into the details!

I started off by coloring up the pumpkin guy from All Trespassers Will Be Added to the Brew stamp set with my Copic Markers, and then I cut him out using the coordinating dies. I also stamped out the sentiments "Hey,Boo!" and "Happy Halloween" using embossing ink, and heat embossed them with white embossing powder on brown paper. I used the coordinating dies on the sentiments as well. I set my image and sentiments aside for later.
Next, I worked on my pumpkin assembly with the Layering Flora: Pretty Pumpkin Die Set. I die cut (2) sets of pumpkins. I die cut the base layer and bottom layer in dark orange, the top pumpkin layer in a lighter orange, which I distressed using Crackling Campfire Distress Ink, and then die cut the stem from brown paper, distressing it with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I adhered the die cuts together to get my (2) completed Pumpkin Shapes.
I took the Rectangles for Card Layering Die Set and used the largest rectangle (4.25" x 5.5") to die cut a piece of brown cardstock, and then used the 2nd largest size (4.125" x 5.375" to die cut one of the patterns from the Woodgrain Hint of Yellow Fabulously Glossy A2 Cardstock.
I used the Basic Die Cutting Set 1 to die cut an arched shape from vellum. I mapped out where my images and sentiments would go, and then placed a very light amount of adhesive in those areas on the vellum so I could adhere it to my woodgrain panel. I followed this by using a combination of foam tape and liquid adhesive to adhere my images and sentiments to my card panel. I trimmed off the excess of the pumpkins, so that they were flush with the bottom of my panel, and adhered my woodgrain unit on top of my brown cardstock panel.
I finished my card by adhering my entire unit to an A2-sized card base, and then adhering a few Friends in Tall Places sequins! My card was completed!
