Good Monday Morning to you!
The challenge at Late Night Stampers this week is a fall theme. I have seen all kinds of pumpkins made out of punches. The ones I had liked used the wide oval punch which I don’t have. I saw a video made by Gwen Mangelson’s husband (great video so check it out) where he used other punches besides the wide oval so I decided to give it a try.
The sketch challenge at Stamping 411 was my inspiration for making the pumpkins.
I thought it would be fun to have the pumpkin be the large oval shape.
I made 2 punched pumpkins. The first used the large oval. While it turned out okay, I wanted a fat pumpkin so I decided to try to make one using the 1 3/4″ circle punch. I love how it turned out so I decided to use that one on the outside and the oval one on the inside. When it was done I thought it would be fun to use the Scribble Swirls sizzlet to create vines on the side of the pumpkin. I also used the Little Leaves sizzlet to make the leaf and stem at the top of both pumpkins. I cut the one leaf to be the stem and used Chocolate Chip marker to color it. I like the way this card turned out so I think I will use it in my workshop next month. Here is my creation.

I highly recommend you watch the video. You will learn some great tips to create all kinds of pumpkins. Thanks for looking and have a Marvelous Monday!

I love the fat pumpkin!!! The sponging makes it look so realistic. Great job!
Love the pumpkin as your focal image!! Great job with the sketch as always 🙂
This is darling…I love the punches for your pumpkins and the swirls behind them!
Absolutely wonderful pumpkins…I like the circle as the base and the small ovals as the actual "sides" of the pumpkins…great job! Thanks also for the video link.
