A big congrats to Raye Lynn, the newest Featured Stamper (FS870). She has cute little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I know it doesN'T look very similar, but things happened. I started to make a little window like hers, but my die cut was too big so I put a layer on top. Then it looked kind of plain, so I added the designer paper. Then I wanted some more color so I added the bubbly green border layers. And the die cut would only fit horizontally, so I turned my card. Otherwise, it's identical.
The outline part of the pumpkins was die cut out of dk brown & I added a stiff cardboard to the back to pop it up & give it stability. The dies for the pumpkin inserts were cut out of dotty paper from the same pack as the leaf print. Then I attached all the layers. It was then I noticed I had a spot just big enough for the 'thankful' word. Thank goodness for the Misti, so I could stamp it more than once, since my layers were already put together.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ more pics & products: The Write Stuff

Julie, This is such a beautiful fall card. I love how you used the polka dot DP behind the pumpkin outline frame. Your leaf DP layers look so pretty behind the outline and I especially love how you used just the borders of the new nested set.

You had me laughing as I read all about your design process! LOL We can all relate to all you've said .... the card design starts out one way and ends up completely different than we had envisioned! Your pumpkin card is delightful!
