The Crafty Den: Cards for All Seasons IG Hop Week 20

Hello again friends; I'm bombarding you with posts today - hopefully you don't mind!! I'm back to share my card for this week's Cards for All Seasons IG hop organised by my lovely friend Kelly. We are now on Week 20 and our theme is 'anything pumpkin'. Such a fun theme this week and even if pumpkins are not your thing you could just use lots of orange instead. There are going to be so many awesome creations along the hop this week and I can't wait to see what sparks your imagination.

I was a bit short on time this week so went clean and simple for my layout and used ephemera and patterned paper for a quick card. I really like how it turned out though and I hope you do too!

Here is my card:

A closer look at the pumpkins:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by cutting a white panel 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" and mat it onto an orange layer cut to 4" x 5 1/4". I cut a piece of the patterned paper 1 3/8" x 5 1/8" and adhered it to the right side of the white panel with double sided tape. I know you can only just see it but I did add a thin strip of orange card along the edge of the paper with liquid glue. I die cut the pumpkins from the ephemera sheet using the coordinating die, added foam squares and arranged them down the card along the join where the white card and paper meet. I didn't have time to root around my stash for the perfect sentiment so made my own and printed it out. I die cut the sentiment with a sentiment strips die and added it over the pumpkins with foam squares. I added some scrap white card behind my panel and adhered it to the card base with double sided tape. No embellishments this time as I liked the CAS design as it was. For the inside I thought I would create a punny sentiment (as I'm hilarious in my own mind lol!) and thought this one was really fun. I again used the computer and printed it out and used my master layouts to cut out the panel along with a panel from orange card. I adhered the panels together with double sided tape. I used the left over paper along the bottom of the panel and again added a thin strip of orange card along the edge. I had two pumpkins left over too so added them in the left lower corner with liquid glue. The panel was adhered to the card base with double sided tape. A really fun card which took hardly any time to make - so win-win!
