Paper Pumpkins

The other day, I was browsing Pinterest and came across the cutest paper pumpkins.  Today I’m sharing my MFT version.  (They were very easy to make.)

I embossed Factory Green, Brick Red and Safety Orange card stock using Swiss Dots, Small Checkerboard and Fishnet stencils.  I cut the card stock into eleven 1″ strips then punched a hole in each end.  I used my Crop-a-dile so I could punch about six at one time.  I stacked all eleven pieces then threaded brown ribbon through one end and tied a knot for the stem.  I inserted the other end of the ribbon through the holes on the bottom, pushed the card stock up (so the pieces bowed), then secured ribbon through the hole using a brad.  Fan the strips and decorate!

I used Factory Green, Brick Red and Safety Orange ink to stamp Fall Foliage onto leaves die-cut from X-Press It Blending Card using Fall Foliage Die-namics.

Lastly, I cut thin strips of Factory Green card stock and curled each around a Copic marker.  (Anything small and circular works.)
