We definitely ate a bit too many sweets yesterday! And are a wee bit tired from all the fun and festivities!!
We're continuing on this week with Die Cuts With a View!
DCWV sent us another of their new lines...this one..Lady Couture!
This Paper Stack is filled with vintage fashion designs and prints, Parisian images and much more!
Designer Audrey Pettit made these paper pumpkins that would be fantastic for a tabletop decoration for the holidays! Consider making these with photos as well for a unique gift for grandparents or friends too!
Harvest Pumpkins
GlueArts: Audrey Pettit
Supplies:
DCWV Lady Couture Collection Pad
Clearsnap Ink
Kraft Outlet String
vintage buttons
florist wire
1. For each pumpkin, you will need 12 circles or ovals die cut or hand cut from patterned paper. I used 6" circles and 7" ovals for mine.
2. Fold or score each circle and oval in half. You can do this part by hand, but I used a scoring board for mine, which made this step quick and easy. Be sure to fold the "right" sides together.
3. Adhere the folded circles or ovals together, covering the back side of each shape with Glue Arts High Tac Adhesive. Continue adhering until all 12 shapes are attached.
4. To create the stems, I cut strips of cream patterned paper. Get the strips wet, then fold, twist, and shape the strips until they look like a stem. Allow to dry, then ink the stems with brown ink and attach using the Glue Arts Glue Gun.
5. Die cut or hand cut leaves from cream patterned paper and adhere to the pumpkin stem using the glue gun.
6. Tie string into a bow and adhere to the stem. Top with a button. For the final detail, wrap florists wire around a pencil to get a curly q figure, and attach to the pumpkin stems.
