Today the gang over at Elizabeth Craft Designs is getting together to celebrate Thanksgiving and Fall.  Everyone is crafting something themed for the holidays, so make sure you pop over to check out all the team has created.

Today I am creating a pumpkin filled with leaves for my project to invite a family friend to our house for Thanksgiving.  I like how a pretty card like this makes someone feel more than just a simple invitation.

Step One:  Die cut the pieces from the Pumpkin die set.  I used 90lb Soft Finish Cardstock for the pumpkin, vines and a couple of the leaves, and Rust Soft Finish Cardstock for the rest of the leaves.

Step Two: Color the die cup piece with alcohol markers.

Step Three: Trim a piece of Rust Soft Finish Cardstock to 12×6 inches, and fold and score to create a 6×6 inches.

Step Four:  Die cut some shapes using the Stitched Hexagons die set and the Thinking About- Grand Canyon paper pack.

Step Five:  Run a piece of 4.25×5.5 inch trimmed 90lb Soft Finish Cardstock through a die cutting machine in the Lots of Dots embossing folder.

Step Six:  Adhere the hexagons onto the card frame using some 6mm Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

Step Seven:  Then adhere the colored pumpkin and leaves to the card frame using some Kids Choice Glue.

Step Eight:  Finish the card off with a sentiment from the Joyful Wishes stamp set.  I like this sentiment because it welcomes someone to your house with warmth.

Thanks for popping in today and checking out my project.  Make sure you peek in and check out all that the ECD design team has created.  Until then, happy crafting.
