Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Tangerine Tango Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 3-1/8" square from Cajun Craze Cardstock
- 3" square from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 3/8" x 5-1/2" of tiny, multicolored squares on vanilla background design from Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper
As you are ready to stamp on each piece of cardstock using the Gourd Goodness stamps, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Be sure to place a piece of scratch paper between the mat and the cardstock if you will be stamping off the edges of the cardstock so that you don't get ink on the mat.
Mount the more solid maple leaf image on Block C. Ink it up with the Tangerine Tango Ink Pad. Stamp it onto the front of the Tangerine Tango card at different angles from the upper left corner to the lower right corner. Let the images go off the edges a bit. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.
Mount the more detailed maple leaf image on Block C. Ink it up with the Cajun Craze Ink Pad and stamp it over the top of each of the previously stamped Tangerine Tango leaves. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.
Adhere the strip of Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper down the right edge of the front of the card.
Cut a 10" piece of 5/8" Burlap Ribbon. Fold the ribbon in half and trim the ends into angles.
Lay the ribbon on the front of the card in the center. Secure the ribbon in place using a piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive. Leave the protective backing on the adhesive.
Use the corner rounder punch on the Envelope Punch Board to round all four corners of the Cajun Craze square and the Very Vanilla square.
Mount the more solid set of 2 pumpkin bottoms image on Block D. Ink it up with the Peekaboo Peach Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the vanilla square.
Mount the more detailed set of 2 pumpkin bottoms image on Block D. Ink it up with the Tangerine Tango Ink Pad. Stamp it over the previously stamped pumpkins.
Use the brush tip of the Daffodil Delight Marker to color in the blank spaces on the pumpkins.
Mount the taller, more solid stem image on Block A. Ink it up with the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad. Stamp it on top of the larger pumpkin.
Mount the shorter, more solid stem image on Block A. Ink it up with the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad. Stamp it on top of the smaller pumpkin.
Mount the taller, more detailed stem image on Block A. Ink it up with the Garden Green Ink Pad. Stamp it over the stem already stamped on top of the larger pumpkin.
Mount the shorter, more detailed stem image on Block A. Ink it up with the Garden Green Ink Pad. Stamp it over the stem already stamped on top of the smaller pumpkin.
Mount the "thank goodness for you" sentiment on Block B. Ink it up with the Cajun Craze Ink Pad. Stamp it over the top of the smaller pumpkin.
Use the side of the brush tip of the Daffodil Delight Marker to outline the vanilla square.
Adhere the stamped vanilla square to the Cajun Craze square.
Adhere the matted squares to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals so the right side just overlaps the strip of designer paper.
