Autumn Pumpkin

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

 

Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. Where did this year go? I have been playing with the Cricut Explore for another Thanksgiving card. There are so many neat features on the machine that I have been wanting to try. This card uses the slice/weld features which is one of those new techniques for me. Card is 5" x 6 1/2" cream cardstock. I used papers from a K&Company pad.

Cricut Cartridges:

Pumpkin Carvings - Pumpkin 49 is cut 3.5" high. After adding a basic circle shape on the pumpkin to the size that looked ok, I used the slice feature. This cut the circle out of the pumpkin. I added a black out of the original pumpkin from the brown paper.

Wildcard - The word Autumn was sized to fit inside the open area yet touching in a couple of places so it could be welded to the pumpkin. 

Thanksgiving - Harvest Blessings was cut 4.22" wide x 1.62" high. I used only the word Blessings for this project.

Classroom Oct-Nov - Happy Thanksgiving is cut 4.50" wide. This is used inside the card.

 

For more interest to the pumpkin, I added Gelly Roll pen doodles and a pretty crinkle ribbon bow from Little Scrap Pieces which I won recently. Thank you so much Karen for the pretty ribbons! Turkey is pop-dotted on a piece of burlap.

Martha Stewart Swirling Lace edge punch is used on the brown paper.

Fall/ Thanksgiving Pumpkin

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am still making Fall/Thanksgiving cards. Card is a cream card stock that measures 5" x 6 1/2". Patterened papers are Recollection Autumn. This is one of my favorite Fall paper pads that I have had for years.

Paper Doll Everyday - Boy with the pumpkin is cut 3" high. Large leaf is cut 1.25" wide and smaller leaf is 1" wide.

Holiday Cakes - Happy Thanksgiving is cut 4" wide.

Gypsy Wanderings - Pumpkin Border. I did not record actual size- just cut it a bit smaller that the 6 1/2" width of card. This is used inside the card.

Cricut Pumpkin Pie Box

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Inspired by a couple of challenges for a pumpkin project, I searched in Cricut Design Space for a pumpkin image that I had not cut previously. I chose to go with the pumpkin pie box. Rather than solid colors, I used some pretty patterned papers from K&Company. The pumpkin print is an embossed double-sided paper. The pumpkin is cut from the reverse side of the paper.

Cricut Cartridges:

Thanksgiving Table Decor - Pie box is cut 6" wide. The pumpkin image is included. The pumpkin image has no leaf or vine. I edited a couple of images from the following cartridges to make those cuts.

Doodlecharms - Curly vine on pumpkin is cut 1" wide.

Simply Charmed - Leaf is cut .75" wide. 

Holiday through the Years Iron On - In Everything Give Thanks is cut 4.25" wide. In Everything is used on one side of the box while Give Thanks is used on opposite side of box.

I added a little twine bow and some Gelly Roll pen doodling on the pumpkin. This makes a cute little treat box -- I will add some candy before giving to the recipient.
