Out of the Box Pumpkin Card

Getting creative with this Out of the Box on this pumpkin card. While the card looks pretty straight forward several things are out of the box.

1. The colored pumpkins and stars.
2. The Boo!
3. The orange and black gingham ribbon.
4. The pumpkin.

Out of the box #1 custom designer paper

The background paper starts out as a black and white piece from the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper.

Black and white designer paper gives you some great flexibility. For this card I colored the pumpkins using the Daffodil Delight and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends and the stars with Daffodil Delight.

#2 boo!

The BOO! was created using the two stamps from the Best of Butterflies Stamp Set. I stamped “all the LOVE” in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Crushed Curry Cardstock twice. Then I cut out the “O”s. Then I stamped the “you’re my BESTIE!” cutting out the “B” and the “!” to complete the BOO!

I love the Black and White Gingham Ribbon and the ability to customize the color with any of our Stampin’ Blends. Here I colored the ribbon with the Pumpkin Pie Blend.

#3 out of the box Pumpkin

The pumpkin was created using the Double Oval Punch and the 3D Timber Embossing Folder.
