Many times you never exactly know what you are going to end up with when you begin stamping, as I didn’t with this Pretty Pumpkins Thankful Pale Payaya Card. I knew I wanted to stamp these Pretty Pumpkins and color them with these different colors. What I didn’t know was that I would end up using this designer paper as a background layer on the card and that I would love the way it looked. The colors might not be an exact match, but I just liked it regardless!
I love the Pretty Pumpkins Stamp Set and the Detailed Pumpkin Dies! You can purchase both together in the Pretty Pumpkins Bundle and save 10%! Just add another $5.00 to your order and you will earn a FREE Sale-A-Bration product with your $50.00 purchase! Sometimes I feel I don’t need the extra expense of the die set, but in this case, there are two dies, especially the one die, that will make for really fancy and pretty pumpkins that you can’t stamp!
This card has a Pale Papaya card base. The designer paper I found in the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper. I hadn’t opened that package yet, but I was surprised to find this particular design in there! When I tried it out on the card, I really liked the look!
The pumpkins are stamped from the Pretty Pumpkins Stamp Set with Memento Ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers. You have lots of choices of colors for your pumpkins these days, not just basic orange! I liked some of these pumpkin colors I was seeing online so I tried it out! My pumpkins are Mint Macaron, Pool Party, and Pale Papaya, using both the Light and Dark markers. The pumpkin leaves are colored with Granny Apple Green markers. Then I used the Detailed Pumpkins Die to cut out the trio.
For the background for the pumpkins, I used a scalloped rectangle die cut from the Scalloped Contours Dies. If you don’t have these dies, I highly recommend them! This die-cut is Basic White with the greeting stamped in Pale Papaya Ink It just fits on there with the pumpkins. You could stamp another color if you wanted to. This die-cut is layered on a rectangle of Pale Papaya. The pumpkins are popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals®. For some bling, I added some In Color Jewels.
Check out THIS CARD I made previously with the Pretty Pumpkins Stamp Set and the fancy die I mentioned in the Detailed Pumpkin Dies.
This card today is actually a pretty basic card, but I think the color of the pumpkins and the designer paper in the background make it look much more than a basic designed card. This Pretty Pumpkins Bundle can be used now for fall, for Halloween, and for Thanksgiving cards and projects that you may want to make! I hope this Pretty Pumpkins Thankful Pale Payaya Card gives you some inspiration to use some different colors on a traditional card.
