I really love pumpkins! I love the way they look, all big and bright orange, I love getting creative and carving them and I love the way they taste, especially pumpkin pie and just about anything is made better with pumpkin spice, right? I also really enjoy adding them to my Autumn cards. Pumpkin stamps and dies can be so versatile this time of year, they add the perfect touch to Halloween, Fall and Thanksgiving cards but also everyday designs like birthday and Thinking of You. So I’ve picked a big bushel of cards to share with you that feature pumpkins to get you inspired to add them to your next card.

The soft blue greys work so well with the shades of orange on this delightful basket full of pumpkins card from Betty. She used layering stamps with different colors of ink pads to add color and dimension, this style of stamps mean no need to color in images and you get a very realistic look.

Obviously blue mixed in with traditional fall colors is right on trend. Here’s another, this time with a blue fence and sentiment added. This delightful card was created with dies and stamps from Whimsy Stamps. I came across it on the Whimsy Instagram page.
A faux stitched die cut frame pulls the eye right into the fabulous stamped scene that Robin created on this card. Her coloring and ink blending of the Impression Obsession stamps create a rustic, fresh from the farm feel. Visit the InkMagination blog for a closer peek.
For this charming card Cheiron heat embossed her pumpkins in white on watercolor paper and then colored the images and background with Distress Mica Stain Inks, which add color and a little sparkle too. Visit the Ranger Ink blog for a tutorial.
We started with a sweet card with a girl sitting on pumpkins so lets finish with another one. Tasha used a masking technique between the stamped pumpkins and stenciled sky and added a die cut frame around to pull in tight on the engaging scene she created.

I hope you’ve gleaned some inspiration from these amazing cards and try adding some pumpkins to your next design. Happy Autumn!!
