One Go: Sweet Pumpkins Birthday Card

My husband's birthday is coming up next week, and so I broke out Altenew's One Go: Sweet Pumpkin bundle to make his card. This bundle is similar to the Craft-Your-Life kits in that it has a stamp set, a coordinating stencil set, an embossing folder, and a die set. You can purchase the elements separately, but it's nice to have them all since they coordinate so well. 

I started by creating a top-folding white A2 card base. Then I stamped the pumpkins and leaves (one large stamp stamps out 9 pumpkins and 14 leaves all at once) using Chamomile ink from Altenew's Golden Sunset ink collection onto light orange cardstock for a tone-on-tone look. Then I used the coordinating stencil set to ink blend the pumpkins and leaves. I used Golden Sunset inks and Milk Chocolate ink from Altenew's Delectable Delights ink collection for the pumpkin stems. After I was finished ink blending the stamped images, I die cut them with the special die in the set that die cuts all the pieces at once. So quick and easy! 

I decided to do a white-on-white background so I could follow the challenge prompt at Die Cut Divas, so I trimmed a panel of white cardstock to 4 1/8 by 5 3/8 inches and embossed it with Altenew's Pumpkin Patch 3D embossing folder. I glued it to the front of the card base.

Then I die cut and embossed the fence from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Rustic Charm project kit and cut it in half because I only wanted the fence to come partway across the front of the card. I added the fence to the card using Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape so it stands out a bit from the pumpkin patch behind it. 

Next, I arranged a few of the pumpkins and leaves and added them to the fence using both liquid glue and more foam tape. 

To finish the card, I used Altenew's Raised Sentiments 3D embossing folder and embossed "happy birthday" onto a strip of white cardstock. I then trimmed the sentiment in half and added some Sunray ink (the lightest in the Golden Sunset ink collection) to it. I adhered it to the card using foam tape.
