BBTB2 - Pumpkins

Happy Monday!

I hope you all survived the Halloween weekend
and Daylight Savings :)

As time continues on, we are looking forward
to Thanksgiving and all things Pumpkin!

So the challenge over at BBTB2 is
to feature a Pumpkin on your Thanksgiving cards.


My favorite pumpkin cut is from Freshly Picked.
I used the flip feature and cut the stem on the other
side of the pumpkin so I could fit the sentiment
in the upper right hand corner.

The background mat is paper from CTMH
and I used Elegant Edges to cut it out.

My pumpkin papers are from Basic Grey.
The jewels are from Darice, and
the sentiment is from CardzTV.

It's a super simple card, but I like how it turned out.

I hope you will join us over at BBTB2!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut
on your project and if it's not obvious,
let us know what cartridge you used.

Now for my project after
combining the two :)
I have never used the pumpkin from Freshly Picked,
so I wanted to give it a try.

I really love the leaf/stem on this cut.

I inked around all the edges with
various colors of ColorBox Chalk Ink.

My paper is from My Mind's Eye and
the pearls are from Recollections.

The sentiment is from CardzTV "Many Thanks" stamp set -
LOVE LOVE LOVE this set!!!
And I stamped it with Frost White Colorbox Pigment Ink

I am also going to enter this in over at

My card was created using the Freshly Picked, Elegant Edges, and
Art Philosophy Cartridges.
My paper is all from Bo Bunny's Isabella 6x6 pad.
I used Prima flowers and some pearls from Recollection's.
The "Love You" stamp is from TPC's Greetings set and the
