Hello, everyone! Today is
Day 3 of the
2019 Cat Lovers Hop! Thank you to Janis at
Her Peaceful Garden for hosting this fun hop with lots of games and prizes! I've just been over there visiting all the links and I've seen some adorable kitty inspiration! Lots of kitty photos too! If you're a cat lover like me, you won't want to miss out!
Today I'm sharing a pumpkin-shaped card for fall! I dusted off another one of my old wood-mounted stamps! This one is by Stampendous - Fluffles the Cat, called Fluffles Leap dated 2005. I coloured the image with my markers (Bic Mark-its and Dollarama Crafts) and then fussy-cut.
I decided to make a big pumpkin using my decorative oval dies. I die-cut three ovals from orange cardstock and inked the edges with Distress Oxide (I used Carved Pumpkin, then Rusty Hinge, and then Brushed Corduroy until I got the look I wanted - the first two colours didn't show up very well). I mounted the centre oval on craft foam to make the shape look more like a pumpkin. For the stem, I used a fox's tail die and tied some eyelash trim for texture. My pumpkin shape was inspired by this
YouTube video. I adhered Fluffles and embellished with three metallic leaves (red, orange, and gold). I love how this card turned out!

I would never have thought to use three oval dies to make a pumpkin - how clever! It looks fabulous, Kitty, the way you have decorated it. I love your cat stamp - such a cute expression on his face as he jumps in the leaf pile! A really beautiful, autumnal, kitty card! xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card , great design, thank you so much for joining us at Allsorts. Xx
ReplyDeleteHow clever to use dies to form a pumpkin. I am loving all your cards with older stamps as it's a reminder that new isn't always better. We love our old stamps just as much, and it's fun to dust them off once in awhile. Can you believe that I never got a Fluffles stamp way back when?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and how you made this like a pumpkin. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining at Stamping Sensations.
This is lovely & made me smile Kitty.
