I mentioned the other day that one of the great things about the Paper Pumpkin kits is that there’s always a stamp set included. I haven’t made the treat bags from this month’s kit yet, but I have used the stamp set. And it seems appropriate for the first day of Autumn.

This is a very straight forward card, and a classic Clean and Simple one. I used the single pumpkin stamp from the Wickedly Sweet Treat set and stamped it in pumpkin pie across the bottom of the whisper white cardstock. I hadn’t exactly planned the complete look but I knew didn’t want the pumpkins all in a straight line. When it was time to think about the sentiment I was pretty happy to find that I’d somehow created the perfect space for this sentiment from the same set. So I stamped it in the new archival basic black ink – I love this new black, it’s relegated my memento tuxedo black to the “only use in an emergency” pile. I added a skinny basic black mat to balance the colour of the sentiment – it’s just 1/8 of an inch bigger than the whisper white card and then mounted it on a pumpkin pie card base.

I also used the stamp on the envelope. I’d like to say that I used it because the stamp was inked up but it was a day after I made the card. Oh well.

See you tomorrow,
