Happy Halloween Pumpkin Card


I created this card with two rubber stamps. The pumpkin is from Studio G and the sentiment is from Azadi Earles. I did a little paper piecing with the pumpkin steam and eyes and added a cricuit cut leaf. The card is embellished with a mini button and a googly eye.

TOP TIP - Paper piecing is an easy way to add some interest to your paper project. Whether you use a digital stamp or a rubber stamp, you can use this easy technique. I stamped my pumpkin on a designed piece of paper but wanted his eyes to be a solid color so I paper pieced. You simply stamp a second image on the paper you want to use, cut out the shape and place over the top of your base image. Easy Peasy!
