Pumpkin Cut Out Card

Now that Labor Day is over and fall is just around the corner, I wanted to make a pumpkin card. Fall has always been my favorite season and I’ll take any excuse to make something with these colors and themes. I left a sentiment off of the card so that I can use it for any fall occasion.

For the card I used:

  • White card stock
  • Scrapbook paper
  • Cricut Machine
  • Adhesive
  • Twine
  • Scissors
  • Paper cutter

Step 1: I cut a piece of white card stock and folded it to make a card. You can make whatever size card you would like. The card I made is 4.5″ x 5″.

Step 2: Next I cut a piece of black and orange polka dot scrapbook paper the same size as the card stock. Then I adhered the polka dot paper using a tape runner. I love this paper. It is very fun and modern.

Step 3: I used my Cricut machine to cut out a pumpkin shape. First I started with the Doodlecharms cartridge. I selected the pumpkin shape and the blackout option.

*Instead of using the pumpkin shape, I used the cut out around it. I will save the pumpkin and use it for another craft.

Step 4 : I tied a piece of baker’s twine around the bottom of the pumpkin cut out just to add some embellishment to the card. I wanted to keep this card as simple as possible.

Step 5: I placed 4 foam adhesive squares on the corner of the pumpkin cut out. This allows the cut out to become 3D and pop off the card.

Step 6: Finally I place the pumpkin cut out onto the card. I love how the polka dot paper jumps out at you. This is such a simple but cute card.

Isn’t this DIY Paper Straw Easel super cute?! I wish I had come up with this idea, but I didn’t. I found this on Pinterest. It was posted by Wants and Wishes. They have a wonderful tutorial on how to make the easel. You can find it here.

    Cute! I don’t know what I would use it for though. Maybe I could start giving out Halloween cards instead of Christmas cards. Or give them out at Christmas and go with a nightmare before Christmas theme!

      Moncia, you can use it for anything reason. That’s why I didn’t put a sentiment on the card. I actually like the idea of using it as a invite card to a fall party 🙂 Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful night!

      Thanks Christy! I got the polka dot paper at Hobby Lobby. You could also print a pumpkin image off your computer then trace it onto scrapbook paper and cut it out 🙂
      Love your series this month on cleaning the kitchen. My stove needs help! Have a wonderful night!
