Happy Halloween from the Pumpkins!

Published by Shel9999 at 5:28 am under My Designs, Stampin' Up!

HHPI’m having fun with this set!  I know there are a lot of people out there who don’t like it, but I sure do!  I decided to let the Pumpkin’s (yes, that’s their last name) personalities show here.  We have Pappa Pumpkin who is in desperate need of an eyebrow and mustache trim, Mama Pumpkin with her fancy stitched ribbon, little boy pumpkin and the little girl who wants to be just like Mom…all here to wish you a Happy Halloween! lol.  (It’s just another one of those strange things that pop into my head. I can’t explain it.)

I stamped the kids first, masked them, then stamped Mom and Dad.  After coloring everyone, I realized the image as a whole was a bit large so I cut the border so the pumpkins extended past the edge of the paper, faux stitched and mounted onto Chocolate Chip.  I knew I wanted a bow on the girls’ stems, but I wasn’t sure what to do with the dude.  Hmm…the more I looked at those leaves, the more they looked like mustaches.  Once I was in “hair mode,” I realized I could make some eyebrows as well.  The three pieces (of hair) are all popped up on dimensionals.  I punched holes on each side of Mom’s stem to tie the ribbon, but the girl’s is attached with a glue dot.

That very cool paper is from the new Basic Grey Mellow 6 x 6 paper pad.  Of all the new Basic Grey lines, Mellow is my favorite.  I’m certain you’ll be seeing more of it!

Thanks for stopping by!!! : )
