Painted Pumpkins - Two Fun Folds in One Card

It is almost September, so we made this card at my last card class. This is a fun-fold card, but it is two fun folds in one card. I learned how to make them from Karen Titus's PDF. Mine is a little different than hers because I used the masks to make my pumpkins instead of die-cutting them out from the Designer Series Paper. I also used a different Designer Series Paper called Autumn Opulence, and I used the colors in the DSP. This bundle will be available on September 1 with the stamp set, dies, masks, and the DSP . I love using the masks. Each one is numbered and has a notch so that you can line it up each time with the notch. I used my Stamp Positioner and magnets to hold them in place when using the blending brushes with a light touch, but whatever works best for you. Here are my instructions:

Stamp Set: Painted Pumpkins, Phrases & Frames

Cardstock: Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla, Lost Lagoon, Autumn Opulence DSP

Ink: Golden Glow, Pecan Pie, Peaceful Pine

Other: Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Paper Trimmer, Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folders (leaves), Painted Pumpkins Dies, Blending Brushes, Paper Pumpkin Masks, Painted Patch Adhesive Backed Dots, 1” Circle Punch, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid

Glue

1. The base of the card is Cajun Craze cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle. On the left side of the card front, using the Paper Trimmer, cut from the score line 1-1/2 down. Glue that flap down with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Adhere strip of DSP cut at 1-1/4” x 4”.

2. Cut Lost Lagoon cardstock at 3-3/4” x 4” and insert into the Seasonal Cheer Mini EF (leaves) and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine. Adhere the embossed Lost Lagoon to the right front flap with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3. Die-cut a Very Vanilla gate with the Painted Pumpkins Dies. Use a Blending Brush and Pecan Pie ink to color the gate. Attach the gate to the Lost Lagoon with Mini Dimensionals. Cut hinges from Cajun Craze cardstock and attach to the gate.

4. Masking: Take a half sheet of Very Vanilla cardstock and insert it onto the Stamp Positioner, portrait style, up against the notches. Start with Mask #1. Put the little V-shaped notch at the top, and use a pencil to make a mark where to line it up each time. Use the magnets to hold it in place. With a Blending Brush, ink up with Golden Glow ink and stamp off the excess on scrap. Lightly blend over the mask. Now, take Mask #2 and line it up with the V, and go a little darker with the Golden Glow ink. Mask #3, use Pecan Pie and lightly ink it up. Mask #4: ink up the stems with Peaceful Pine ink. Now, die-cut them out. Adhere three of them in front of the gate.

5. Inside: Cut Very Vanilla cardstock at 3-3/4” x 8” and score at 4”. Adhere 3-3/4” x 4” DSP to the front, making sure the score line is at the bottom of the inside. Make a divot at the top of it with the 1” Circle Punch. Stamp sentiment with Cajun Craze ink.
