This is a really fun card to create - it utilizes a paper piecing technique to create the different colors on the pumpkins. To begin, stamp the smallest pumpkin in the set in Banana Cream, Oatmeal Cookie and Lemongrass ink on Whip Cream card stock. Stamp the double pumpkin stamp in Cocoa Powder, Tangerine Fusion and Lemongrass ink on Whip Cream card stock. Die cut all the stamped images using the FSJ Platinum 6 machine and the matching die set.
It is easiest to cut the pumpkins and stems, so the Lemongrass pumpkin die cuts will be the base. Using your Details Pro Shears, cut the stems out of the Oatmeal Cookie and Cocoa Powder die cuts. Then, cut the pumpkins out of the Tangerine Fusion and Banana Cream images. Using Journey Craft Glue, adhere the pumpkins and stems to the Lemongrass die cuts to create the tri-colored pumpkin images.
Using the FSJ Platinum 6, Garden Fence die and Oatmeal Cookie card stock, die cut the fence and add Cocoa Powder ink with the Small Dauber. Using the Large Dauber, Cement Tile Stencil, Lovely Blue and Lemongrass ink, create the background on the Whip Cream card stock. Add extra ink from the dauber along the edges of the card stock. Add Sparkle Silk to the stenciled panel.
Adhere the fence to the stenciled panel and trim edges as needed. Using the Journey Scoring Board, score and fold the Cocoa Powder card stock base. Adhere the Oatmeal Cookie panel the Cocoa Powder and the Whip Cream Stenciled panel to the Oatmeal Cookie. Stamp the 'Hello Fall' sentiment on the 3/4" x 2-1/2" Whip Cream card stock using Cocoa Powder ink. Cut the right side into a banner shape using your Details Pro Shears. Adhere just above the fence on the left side. Adhere the pumpkins using Journey Foam Squares on the bottom right of the fence. Tie a double bow (pro tip: check out this tutorial from FSJ on tying double bows) using Natural Journey Twine. Cut two pieces of Gift Twine, about 5" each and separate the metallic gold threads from the twine. Save the twine for another project, you will only use the gold metallic for this card. Place a Journey Glue Dot on the left side of the fence and lay the two piece of gold metallic thread on the dot. Add the double bow on top of the Journey Glue Dot and gold thread. Embellish the card by tracing the sentiment with Journey Glaze and adhering Rainbow Drops to the front of the card.

I love the different patterns and colors in this Halloween card. The polka dots and stripes give a fun, whimsical look. This card is no tricks and all treats! Begin by using Journey Sofft Tools to apply Journey Colorless Blender to the 3" x 3" and 1" x 3" Black Licorice card stock. This will remove static and ensure the embossing powder only sticks where you have stamped the image. Stamp the spider web pumpkin and 'Happy Halloween' sentiment in Clear Pigment ink on Black Licorice card stock and cover in Journey White embossing powder. Activate the embossing powder by heating with your Journey Heat Gun. Using your FSJ Platinum 6, die cut the pumpkin using the coordinating die. Die cut the 3" x 3" Tangerine Fusion card stock using the third largest circle from the Circle Around die set. Once the circle is cut, run it through again to add the stitching from the third largest stitched die, also from the Circle Around die set. While you can run the full circle and stitched circle through at the same time, I prefer to run one at a time to ensure I have my stitching lined up well on the circle so it is even. Die cut the 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" Grape Fusion card stock using the third largest scallop circle from the Journey Scallops die set.
Next, stamp the Whip Cream card stock using the Striped Wall stamp and Black Licorice ink. You want the image to be very crisp and dark so use a well inked stamp pad and make sure the stamp has plenty of ink coverage before stamping it on the Whip Cream card stock. Adhere the Black Licorice card stock panel to the Tangerine Fusion card base. Adhere the Limeade Splash card stock to the top half of the Striped Wall stamped Whip Cream panel. Cover where the Limeade Splash ends on the Whip Cream with your strip of Grape Fusion polka dot printed paper. Tie a bow of Black Licorice Satin Ribbon around the Whip Cream panel, just under the polka dot strip. Adhere the Whip Cream panel to the Black Licorice panel. Adhere the Tangerine Fusion die cut circle to the Grape Fusion die cut scallop circle. Using Journey Foam Squares, attach the embossed pumpkin die cut to the Tangerine Fusion circle. Adhere the Grape Fusion scallop circle to the left side of the card, careful not to put adhesive to the side of the scallop circle that hangs off the edge of the card. Using your Details Pro Shears, hand cut a banner edge on the right side of the sentiment strip and adhere to the card using Journey Foam Squares. Again, careful not to put adhesive on the edge that hangs off the card edge. Sometimes it adds more interest to your project when you design outside the traditional 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card front. Finish your card by adding the best embellishment EVER - Sweet Candy Drops. I mean, they're the perfect addition. Always.

Whip Cream Card Stock
- card base 4-1/4" x 11" - piece to stamp and die cut pumpkins 3-1/2" x 5-1/2" - strip for sentiment 1-3/8" x 3-3/4" Sweet Pear Card Stock - front panel 4" x 5-1/4" Journey Vellum - front panel 3-3/4" x 5" Peaches and Cream Card Stock - piece to die cut doily 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" Instructions
While I love rich, deep colors for fall cards the Rose Gold embossing powder was calling to me and I absolutely love how this Thanksgiving card turned out with the light, almost pastel colors. Sweet Pear is a color I haven't utilized as much as I should. I have recently fallen in love with this color, it's really a very beautiful yellow-green that pairs well with many of FSJ's other colors. To create this card, begin by using Journey Sofft Tools to apply Journey Colorless Blender to the 3-1/2" x 5-1/2" and 1-3/8" x 3-3/4" Whip Cream card stock. Stamp the largest pumpkin and tall, slender pumpkin in Clear Pigment ink and cover with Journey White embossing powder. Stamp the 'Give Thanks' sentiment in Clear Pigment ink and cover with Rose Gold embossing powder. Heat with the Journey Heat Gun to set the embossing powder. Die cut the Peaches and Cream card stock using the Doily die - the Bloom Tool comes in handy to remove the pieces from the die. With intricate dies, such as the Doily die, I run it through my machine, turn it over so the cut side is up, turn it 90° and run it through again. This ensures you have nice, full cuts in your card stock. Using the Tiny Dots embossing folder, emboss the Journey Vellum with the FSJ Platinum 6. Die cut the embossed pumpkins using your FSJ Platinum 6 and matching die set.
Add the Peaches and Cream, Sweet Pear, Limeade Splash and Orange Creamsicle Liquid Colors to the Bloom Palette to begin watercoloring the pumpkin images using the Journey Blending Brushes. I went over the whole pumpkin in Peaches and Cream, then shaded using Orange Creamsicle. I did the same thing with the stems - Sweet Pear everywhere, then shade with Limeade Splash. For the leaves and tendrils I colored around them since they are solid images with white embossing powder. Watercoloring is a fun, relaxed way to color. Don't stress if color blends or goes outside the lines, that's how it should look!
Adhere the Sweet Pear panel to the Whip Cream card base. Adhere the Doily die cut to the Tiny Dot embossed Journey Vellum - I made the debossed side of the dots the front of the card. Wrap Gift Twine twice around the Journey Vellum and tie a bow on the right side. Use the Journey Corner Rounder punch on the top right and bottom left corners of the sentiment strip and adhere to the vellum using Journey Foam Squares. Adhere the Journey Vellum to the Sweet Pear, only adding adhesive where it will be covered by the sentiment and doily so it does not show through the vellum. Adhere the pumpkins to the doily using Journey Foam Squares. Embellish the card with Journey Pearls and Meadow Pearls.
I hope you were inspired by my Martha's Pumpkins trio of cards. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to post in comments or contact me.
