I needed a Halloween themed thank you card, and this is the 4.5×3.75-inch card I made using Scrapbook.com shape dies and retired stamps from Hero Arts and Pajama Crafter Stamps.
Cardbase: I folded an 4.25×11 sheet of orange cardstock at 4.5-inches and cut out pumpkin shaped card using the second largest die in the Scapbook.com Nested Pumpkinsshape dies. The card is hinged at the top by placing the top edge of the die above the fold.
Card Front: From the remain orange cardstock, cut a full pumpkin for the card front. Using the Hero ArtsColor Laying Pumpkin set, stamp the pumpkin on the card front. Use a lighter orange for the pumpkin base and a darker orange for the details. Do the same for the vining leaves with two shades of green. Die cut a green stem using the Scapbook.com Nested Pumpkins shape dies and glue in place. Glue card front onto the card base matching up the edges.Using a fine-tipped black pen, draw on the ridges in the pumpkin stem and on the pumpkin base.
Sentiments: “Thank You” is stamped using a dark brown ink and the Hero ArtsColor Laying Pumpkin set.
Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope with an orange cat on a pumpkin from Pajama Crafter Stamps.

I recently purchased a Scrappy Tails Halloween die set to make a Jackolantern Shaped Card. This was my first go at making a shaker card with this die set.
Cardbase: I used an 11×4.25 rectangles of heavy black cardstock that was scored and folded to form a 4.25×5.5-inch top-fold card. Decorate the card front with glitter gloss as needed.
Jack O’lantern Shaker: The pumpkin was cut four times from heavy orange cardstock using the large pumpkin and mouth dies in the Scrappy TailsJackolantern Shaped Card set. After weeding out the face and vertical ridge lines, a piece of acetate was sandwiched between the back of one pumpkin and the front of another with double-sided tape. The excess acetate was trimmed away. Next, the remaining two pumpkins were glued to the back of the other pumpkins. From black cardstock cut the stem, vines and the sentiment “Trick or Treat” using the same die set. Brush glitter gloss over the words and let dry before gluing onto the mouth opening. Position the pumpkin on card front and note where the mouth opening is. remove pumpkin and place a small quantity of shaker elements in the mouth area on the card front. Add glue to the back of the pumpkin and adhere to the card front trapping the shaker elements in the mouth section. Add a weight over the pumpkin until glue drys.
Sentiment: The inside sentiment uses my favorite Karen Burniston “Happy Halloween” from her Halloween Charms die set. (I cut a backing oval from yellow using an unknown die from my stash cut in yellow. Then I cut the charm die from orange and color the frame and bat black before gluing the pieces together.) The inside pumpkin (outlined in white gel pen) and the front “Trick or Treat” sentiment are from the Jackolantern Shaped Card die set.
Envelope: The card fits into an A2 size envelope with the a Halloween themed sentiment stamped on the back flap using My Favorite Things Primitive Pumpkins stamp set.

This card was made for CRAFT ROULETTE #287 whose parameters included “saying hi”, crisp colors, sun/sunny(ies) element, and pennants. Today’s card uses Karen Burniston dies and her new Fall Phrases stamps.
Watch the video below to see how this card was made.
Cardbase: (Watch the assembly video for this die set located at the bottom of the linked page.) Cut three of the Landscape Rectangle Accordionframes from brown cardstock. From one frame die cut two apertures in the pivot panel using the stitched rectangle die in the set. Decorate the panels first and then glue the frames together as shown in the assembly video.
Leaf Pennants: From the Tree Pop-Up die set cut two sets of oak leaves – once from yellow and one from brown. Daub the leaf edges with brown ink and then splatter with white paint and bronze ink to age them. Sandwich a piece 8-10-inches of black sewing thread between two leaves (of the same color) and glue in place. Repeat with remaining leaves. (Note: I lost one of my leave pairs, so I only added five dangling leaves to my card.) Using a thin sewing needle, piece a hole into the top of one of the window apertures panel and pull the thread through the hole, adjust length of leaf thread and tie off the thread. (Make sure to only wrap thread one the window frame below the hole as any thread above the hole will be seen and won’t be covered by the decorative frame.) Repeat with other leaves. Cut four picture frames from dark brown using the wood embossed picture frame die in the set. Glue picture frames over the openings to be centered on panel and cover the thread knots.
Gourds and Leaves: Cut two of each of the leaves and pumpkin dies in the Autumn Elements die set. Daub the edges with brown ink and then splatter with white and black paint to age them. (Note: I cut the yellow leaves from a scrap of paper I had inked with red to get that orange mottling effect.) Cut two tiny pumpkin gourds from orange or white with brown stem vines using the dies from the Haunted Tiny House Add-Ons set. Decorate the first and last panels on both sides using the leaves and pumpkins and gourds.
Sentiments: Using the new Karen Burniston Fall Phrases stamp set, stamp “Hello Gourd-geous!” “Warm Autumn Wishes” and “May your fall be crisp, cozy and colorful” onto white cardstock. Die cut using the last two phrases using the two smallest label dies in the Rectangles and Labels – Crosshatch set. Using a paper trimmer, cut the first phrase into a .8-inch wide stripe and cut a triangle from each end to make it into a fishtail banner. Using the Tropical Scene die set, cut the sun rays from orange and the circle from yellow and glue together to illustrate “Warm Autumn Wishes.”
Card Assembly: Line up the accordion frames in the order you desire after decorating the panels front and back. Train the folds on the frames and panels. Glue the large frames tabs first. Trim off the unused tab. Once the glue has set on the tabs, train the pivot panels movement. Decide which way the panels will move when open and closed. Glue the panels together having one connection behind the joining frames and the other connection going in front of the joining frames. Trim off unused panel tab.
Envelope: The card fits into a mini slimline envelope.
