I recently was able to participate in a night of Mystery Stamping with TX Stampin Sharon Armstrong (if you've never followed along on one of her Mystery Monday stamping adventures, you are missing out!), and I used some fall cardstock and my new Woven Basket layering die set and Pretty Pumpkins layering die set from Altenew to create my card. If you'd like all the instructions and measurements for this card design, see Sharon's video here: Mystery Stamping (youtube.com). If you want to play along in the future, just check out her description under the video for an explanation of how to get the clues emailed to you each week.
After trimming my papers per Sharon's instructions and die cutting and layering my basket and pumpkins, I assembled the card according to Sharon's clues during the Mystery Monday session and then stamped and die cut the "thank you" sentiment from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Splendid Bouquet set.
I just used the base layer of these pumpkin dies for this card, but you can see what they look like with the other two layers added here Carrie's Custom Cards: Pretty Pumpkins Thank You Card (carriescustomcards.blogspot.com):

Beautiful fall card! I love the plaid and all of the dimension with the die cuts. Those pumpkins are amazing. Thanks for sharing at A Cut Above's November, "Anything Goes With A Die Cut" and optional "Warm It Up" Challenge.
