Pumpkin Patch - Stampin' Up!® Choose Happy

   Sometimes I think I should clean out my retired paper collection and then there is a challenge and I need to have all of that paper to choose from!  Last week's Inspired By challenge had a fun inspiration photo of pumpkins of all different colors lined up in a grid pattern.  And while I didn't get my card made before the challenge ended I had a ton of fun making not one but two cards.  The Choose Happy set is the only one I have that has a pumpkin image and it was just perfect!  And since I used up a (tiny) bit of retired Designer Series Paper that just confirmed to me that I should never get rid of any paper. Ever. Lol!

  I went through all of my current and retired bits of DSP and pulled out the browns, oranges, and yellows and then stamped the pumpkin using either Early Espresso or Pecan Pie ink then fussy cut them.

  The pumpkins are popped up on dimensionals onto a piece of Very Vanilla that is cut with the Textured Notes dies. I left space in the center for the sentiment from Blooming Phrases which is stamped in Early Espresso.  

  Early Espresso is used for the backing layer and Crumb Cake for the card base.  For one card I used a Streaked Dot embellishment by the sentiment and the other has a Cajun Craze and Gold dot.

  This was such a fun design to put together and I really enjoyed taking a walk down memory lane with all the different papers from years past.  

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
