Aren't they cute! Stampin' Up! is much MORE than just cardmaking and scrapbooking! These pumpkins were the hit of the show last weekend at Woodbury Days. Want to know how to make them in 10 minutes? Easy peasy. Purchase the Spooky Things Decor Elements and Black Flourish Designer Jewels from page 8 in the Holiday Mini Catalog. Add them to your pumpkins – any color(s) will do. I purchased mine at a local craft store (it's OK to use your coupon on these! ).

Decor Elements – Spooky Things are available in black (120909) or Dark Gray (122296) and sell for $14.95.

Black Flourish Designer Jewels (120987) already have the adhesive attached to them! Only $4.95! I used 2 sheets.

Check out the tree in the background. . . it is the perfect compliment! The tree has bats and leaves strung around it. . . easy and cute! Just imgine what guests to your home will say when they see your display! You'll be the envy of your friends!

To create the leaves, I used the Leaves #2 sizzix die (113459) wtih pumpkin pie patterned paper from the Brights Designer Series Paper Pack (117155 p 175), texturized with an embossing folder and spritzed with the log cabin smootch spritz (p195), The bats were punched with the new bat punch and the Wicked Fun Specialty Designer Series Paper (117400). I know – you are thinking – why would I want a bat punch? Here are two great reasons;

Check back in a few days for my "to die for project" with bats!
Think outside the box – here are two of our punches with the bat punch behind it – see how the shape of the punch is highlighted with this punch?
