Pumpkin Love Note
Our new designer, Sonya Sheaffer came up with this adorable 3″x3″ card. It would also make a great placecard for Thanksgiving dinner. Just print each person’s name instead of a Halloween greeting on a sticky label. The technique uses dye-based reinkers. After stamping the pumpkin and embossing on coated paper, spray with a fine mist of water. Use a water brush to add drops of re-inker to the wet image and let the colors blend together. Dry well before cutting out and adding to card. When you cut, be careful to leave an edge around the embossing. Don’t cut through it, or it flakes off. The background looks like worn fabric, but in fact is a piece of color core cardstock that has been torn and sanded. A tiny piece of knotted ribbon completes the look. What a great gift card for a fruit basket or house gift over the holidays. Make one at our “Try Me Table” as a FREE project Sept28 through Oct 3. Your family and friends are going to love this one!
