Autumn Theme Week: Day 1

Hi friends! It’s Stefanie here today kicking off Autumn Theme Week and I’ve created a cute pumpkin shaker on a simple stamped background to share with you!

To create the card, I started by using the Pumpkin Shaker Dies and die cut the outline of the pumpkin 6 times on white cardstock. I stacked them together using liquid adhesive and sandwiched some acetate between the top 2 layers to create a shaker window.

I filled the shaker with a combination of the gorgeous Matte Gold Confetti Mix and Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix. Then I sealed off the back of the pumpkin shaker with cardstock that I ink blended evenly with Concord and 9th’s Marmalade orange.

The stem and leaf at the top of the shaker are also from the Pumpkin Shaker Dies, but this time I only used single layer die cuts. I ink blended the stem and leaf using Concord and 9th’s Wheat and Sprout colored inks, respectively and adhered them behind the pumpkin shaker.

Now that the shaker was complete, I moved on to create the background. I wanted the pumpkin shaker to be a bright focal point and opted for a simple stamped background using the cutest mini stamps from the Fall Jar stamp set. I stamped them all out using Pumice Stone distress oxide for a soft and subtle look.

The pumpkin shaker was then adhered directly onto the background and I propped up a sentiment underneath. The sentiment is from Sentiment Strips: Fall stamp set, embossed in white on a banner from the Sentiment Strip Dies which I colored brown using Copic marker E44.

And finally the card is finished! Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you like how my card turned out!
