Hello, everyone! It’s Leica here. Today I want to share a fun 3D project using the Stitched Pumpkins dies from Pretty Pink Posh. This set comes with three pumpkin sizes that create adorable 3D pumpkins. They’re perfect for place card holders or as a festive centerpiece for Halloween and Thanksgiving.
For this project, I used 29 lb cardstock from Michaels and I cut 4 sheets at once, which saves a lot of time since we need many pieces. The more pieces you cut, the fuller the pumpkins will look.
The process is straightforward, though it may take some time to assemble. You can cut just four pieces to make a stand-alone pumpkin. You can experiment with heavyweight cardstock or colored and patterned paper too.
Once you have all the pieces, fold them in half and use a binder clip to hold them together. Apply glue to the spine of the pumpkins and let them dry. Then, attach the stem using the die provided or find something suitable in your garden. I used Helmar glue to adhere the stem to the center of the pumpkins.
For the leaf, I cut the die in green cardstock and added some interest with Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink.
I made several pumpkins in different sizes to use as centerpieces for Thanksgiving. However, you can also use these dies for cards, not just 3D projects. They’d make beautiful focal pieces for cards too.
I hope my 3D pumpkin projects have inspired you to create your own. It’s a fun activity suitable for everyone. Both grown-ups and children can do this project together. Include the kids and create many 3D pumpkins.
