Autumn Birthdays

Autumn is my favorite time of year.  I really enjoy making cards during these months.  And I am into cards with a little different twist, fold, or interest right now so I cut and made a center step card.

After cutting and folding the right places on the Pumpkin Spice cardstock, I cut pieces of designer paper for the sides and strip that would be below the main image, which is a stamp and coordinating die by Stamploration.  I colored it with Copics and Prisma pencils.
The four pumpkins are cut with a Spellbinder die, and then rolled a bit for dimension.  They are attached with foam tape.  I wish I had a wheat or corn die but because I don't, I used the next best thing -  Time Holtz Sizzix wildflowers.
The happy birthday sentiment (Stampin Up) is embossed with copper.
Here is a template I used for the card:
I made the cuts with my small trimmer and even though I have a score blade for it, I prefer making the score lines with my ScorPal.

My card is going to a sister whose husband owns the biggest fruit packing plant in the state especially for apples so I think she will like the image on the card.  (I do and I don't have a packing plant !!! LOL)

    Lovely Autumnal colours and I like your use of hessian in the background as it tones in really well. Thank you for sharing this with us at Stamping Sensations and good luck. Sandra x

    Wonderful Fall card...We are so blessed you link your artwork with us last Challenge at Word Art Wednesday. There still a few days left for you to join us again in our current Challenge. Leaving you with the inspiration of the Scripture in 1 Thessalonians 2:13 which says, "And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe." Have a blessed day!
