I used the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pumpkins stamp set bundle to create a black and white pumpkin card to share with you today.  I did a video tutorial for this card on YouTube live and you can see it here.

My card design works for the TGIF Challenges #TGIFC330.

I started by embossing a panel of Basic Gray card stock with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered the embossed panel to the front of the Basic Gray card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I cut a panel of Beautifully Penned DSP (Sale-a-bration item) three times with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I adhered the die cut panels with Stampin’ Seal to the card front.

I cut another panel of the Beautifully Penned DSP with another die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies and then adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.  I cut panels of Basic Gray and Basic Black card stocks with dies from the Detailed Pumpkins Dies and then adhered them to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Mini Glue Dots.

I stamped the pumpkin image from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in VersaMark Ink on a panel of Basic Black card stock, sprinkled it with white embossing powder from the Basics Embossing Powders and then heat embossed it.  I cut the pumpkin out with the coordinating Detailed Pumpkins Dies and adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then heat embossed it with black embossing powder from the Basics Embossing Powders.  I cut the sentiment out with one of the Hippo & Friends Dies and then adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots to the card front.  I colored one of the Rhinestone Basic Jewels with the Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blends Marker before adhering it to the card front to finish it.

I stamped the pumpkin image from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set in Basic Gray ink on a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card.
