Paper Pumpkins!

Today's Idea of the Day is fun and easy!  I also really did the concept of these sweeties basue they can work for Halloween and then carry right through for Thanksgiving or Harvest decorating.

Here's your guide:
1.Cut strips of Cajun Craze Textured Card Stock. Stack 12 to 14 strips, and punch holes in both ends using Crop-A-Dile. Secure strips together on one end using a Jumbo Brad, and fan out into circle shape. To form into sphere, secure other end of strips together using second  Jumbo Brad.

2. Gently dampen or spray thin strips of Old Olive Card Stock with water, and wrap around dowel or Stampin' Write Marker. Allow to dry, then remove from dowel.

3.Cut leaves from Spice Cake Designer Series Paper using Big Shot and Leaves #2 Originals Die. Adhere leaf and curly stem from previous step to top of each pumpkin using Stampin' Dimensionals.

4. Stamp leaf image three times in Old Olive ink on Whisper White Card Stock. Cut out, and adhere one to larger leaf on top of each pumpkin using Stampin' Dimensionals.
5. Thread Linen Thread through three Old Olive Designer Buttons, and adhere one to top of each pumpkin.
6. Place pumpkins in a basket or on your mantle as a fun seasonal touch!
