Thankful for You Pumpkin Card

I CASED this idea from Pinterest.  It was the perfect fall card for my Club members this month and used punches to create a few pumpkins.  I haven't used punches to create pumpkins in a couple of years with my Stamp Club so I knew that I had to CASE this card just as it was.  Rae Harper-Burnet did a great job choosing the right color combination and adding a few embellishments that really add to this card without taking away from the other details.  To view her card, click here and to learn how to create a pumpkin from punches, check out her wonderful instructions here.

My Club members loved creating this card.  They had so much fun putting together the punches to create the pumpkins that it felt like fall was coming early to NC.  I hope you will enjoy CASEing this card as well.  So grab your small and extra large oval punches, some card stock and adhesive, and have fun!
