Lucky Pumpkins

Hi yall!! I guess you all can tell I completely stopped participating in the 30 Days of Blogging...B.O.R.I.N.G. and redundant to say the least. It had gotten to be more of a chore than fun by day 10 I think, but I kept pushing on. Anyway, I'm way past done with that..it did nothing for me so moving right along.

Now, many that know me KNOW I do not celebrate halloween at all. But I'm not shallow to of some of the scrappy goodness that goes on sale after that day. Hence the fact I purchased this chipboard pumpkin set. Got it from Joann's last year on sale for $0.97, so I couldn't pass it up. My intentions were to create some fall inspired cards, but ended up using one of the halloween sayings on this card anyway.

I really like it though, just don't have a use for it:) And I love working with the glassine paper, it's just a tricky booger to adhere. You must use a liquid adhesive instead of your ATG gun, I used my Zip Dry liquid adhesive. Although Zip Dry does exactly what it says when you're using it to adhere paper items (so move very quickly or it will be dry before you know it), it does not dry that fast when using it on glassine paper. So be careful not to disturb it much after you've placed it, so that it'll dry right where you want it.

For this card, I also used my personal ticket punch and adhered two tickets together to give the effect of untorn tickets. I also distressed the edges to give them a more rustic look.

I actually thought I had a pumpkin stamp, but failed to locate it...maybe I dreamed it or possibly shared it with someone. Don't you hate when you think you have an item and turns out you don't, especially when you have envisioned using it. Either way, I really need to get one. Same thing with me thinking I had some mini leaf stamps, I know that I know I own some mini leaf stamps..oh well

These are just a few cards I created at my latest all day crop. Hope these pumpkin fall cards have inspired you. Until my next post...

Happy Crafting!
