Good Things Pumpkin Fun Fold Card

I really love how this card turned out. The pumpkins you can create with the masks in the Painted Pumpkins Bundle are so pretty and dimensional, and I really like the look of the garden gate. I'll have to play with that some more. There are more pieces to it too, but I couldn't fit them all on this card.

Pumpkins and Good Things

I used the light side of Petal Pink Two-Tone Cardstock with the Rustic Check 3D Embossing Folder on this super simple fun fold card. I die cut the pumpkins from the Painted Patch DSP, but you can also just fussy cut them. They aren't too detailed for a quick fussy cut. I added lots of patterned paper on the inside because it just makes it more of a wow card with little effort. And, because I love patterned paper.




Supplies

Cardstock:
Golden Glow: 8-1/2" X 5-1/2", scored at 1-1/2" and 5-3/4"
Basic White: 4" X 5-1/4" (inside), square die cut on front is 3-1/4" X 3-1/4"
Petal Pink Two-Tone: 2-1/2" X 5-1/4" (embossed)
DSP: 
Painted Patch: 2 pcs 1-1/4" X 5-1/4", 1" X 4", 2-1/2" X 5-1/4", cut pumpkins
Stamp Set & Dies: 
Ink:
Pool Party (blending in background)
Pecan Pie (blending in background)

This week I'm posting cards made with the Painted Patch Suite. I love how colorful and fun this suite is. I knew I would eventually get the bundle, because pumpkins. Hello. And the masks are so good.

Luxe Birthday

I used a Creative Collab Crew sketch that I found on Pinterest for this card. It looks like someone took a screenshot of an Instagram post by @emkcreationsil and pinned it. That's all I know, but this is a great sketch. I have definitely made cards with this design before, but it's very handy to have measurements so you don't have to figure it out again later. 

Don't forget, this lovely foiled DSP is the September 2026 Product of the Month for Stampin' Up! and once it sells out, it is gone forever. You get 12 sheets (4 each of 3 colors/designs) for just $5 with a qualifying $75 USD purchase right now!




Cardstock:
Very Vanilla: 8-1/2" X 5-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" and folded in half on the long side, my die cut is 3-1/2" X 2", optional panel on the inside is 4-1/2" X 5-3/8"
If you didn't want to buy 12 sheets of this color, you could get the Exploring Nature Two-Tone Cardstock Variety Pack instead.

Luxe Note

I love to take a square die cut and turn it to make a diamond. I think it's a fun look and somewhat different than your average, everyday card. And I'm loving these new Tile Garden decorative square dies! I hope they stay around forever. They'll be used just as much as my beloved circle version--the Spotlight on Nature Dies.
