Slimline Pop-Up Pumpkin Card

My granddaughter turns two this month, and she's the cutest little pumpkin in the patch, so I thought I'd make her a pumpkin-themed card! 😃 She loves dogs (my son and DIL have 2 dogs and my husband and I have a Great Dane--she loves them all!), so when I saw the cute dogs and pumpkins pattern paper, I knew I had to use that, too!

To create the card, I followed a tutorial by Susan Campfield here: Slimline Pop-Up Card with Glow of Harvest DSP. I chose my papers and then used a few sets by Altenew to decorate the card.

For the fence, I used Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Rustic Charm project kit. For the pumpkins and leaves, I used Altenew's One Go: Sweet Pumpkins bundle. For the "happy birthday!" sentiment, I used Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Literary Blooms kit. And for the "Cutest pumpkin in the patch" sentiment, I used Altenew's Pumpkin Patch bundle. 

I also wanted to add my granddaughter's name to the front of the card and decided to use some printed chipboard letter stickers by American Crafts. They've been in my stash for an age and worked perfectly for this card. I used them on the back of the card for the "HB2U" sentiment as well.
