Huge Pumpkin | Mama Elephant Card | Halloween 2018 Series 1

Hi friends

Today's video is the first in my Halloween 2018 series and uses a Mama Elephant die called Favor Bag Accessory Pumpkin or at least that's the only name I could find as it wasn't on the packaging.

So if you love to paper piece or if you love to do an inlay-type technique then this is for you. I also created a scenery card as you know I love to make these. Have I said love too many times? Can you ever say love too many times? LOL.

Anyway, I first had a card base measuring 11 x 4.25 inches and folded it at 5.5. The first layer/background to our scene measures 5.25 x 4.

Next I used some black cardstock to create both the fence for the front part of the card and the forest in the background. This helps to create the scene or picture if you will for your cute but super HUGE pumpkin.

I used a stitched circle die in yellow for the moon and this will also act as a backdrop for the teeny tiny bats. Aren't they so super cute?

I have to admit the pumpkin was pretty easy to put together although I'm still not sure what all the pieces are for lol! I will have to just keep making them. For the most part I can see from the pumpkin die set that you can make a few different jack-o-lanterns with the different face parts etc.

For the sentiment I used a sentiment from Stampin' Up Spooky Fun stamps and used Versamark Watermark ink and Stampendous Detail White embossing powder to heat set it.

I popped our pumpkin guy up on foam tape, this gives dimension as well as showing you that the forest is in the distance.

I also popped up the fence on two layers of foam tape for even more dimension. You'll see in the video that I had a little trouble getting it placed right. You want to put foam along the fence but avoid putting it where it will sit on top of the pumpkin. That part needs to sit flat or it will look odd.

Once all the pieces were in place all I needed to do was to add some shimmer and shine. We all want that right? Right! :)

As you all know I love to create scenery style cards and so this one was a great one to start with for the Halloween season. I hope you enjoy!
