This week, we are having lots of fun here on the Therm O Web blog, as we join up for the very first time with our friends at Rabbit Hole Designs. Fall is here, my very favorite season of all, and today we are going to celebrate pumpkin everything with a pair of fall-inspired cards featuring Rabbit Hole stamps and Therm O Web Glitz Glitter Gel, adhesive, cardstock, dies, and more.

This cute pumpkin friend’s card features a stamp set of the same name, adorable Halloween patterned papers, Copic coloring, and the perfect fall pumpkin Glitz Glitter Gel color, Sweet Mango. Let’s take a closer look.
To begin, stamp the pumpkins onto Luxury White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and then color the images with Copic markers. Place the largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Small Set, cutting side down, onto the image, centering the pumpkins within the frame. Hold the die in place with pieces of Purple Tape, and then run the image through your die cutting machine. Die-cut the largest rectangle from the Stitched Rectangle Large Set from Luxury White cardstock to layer behind.
Create a horizontal A2 card base from Luxury White cardstock. Layer the card with patterned paper and cardstock. Cut a small slit in the fold of the card, and tie twine around the right side of the card.
Cut another panel of Luxury White cardstock that is larger than the die cut image. Spray the back of a stencil with Pixie Spray. Set the stencil aside for several minutes to allow the spray to dry until tacky to the touch.
Place the stencil down onto the cardstock panel on your work surface. Add Sweet Mango Glitz Glitter Gel onto the straight edge of the Stencil Pal using a palette knife. Drag the Stencil Pal back and forth over the stencil to get the gel into all the little openings. Scrap all excess gel back into the jar.
Peel up the stencil, and wash it and the tools immediately in warm soapy water. Set the cardstock aside to dry completely.
Add Foam Squares to the back of the gelled cardstock, and then adhere it to the card base. Adhere the two die-cut rectangles together using Memory Tape Runner. Stamp the Pumpkin Everything sentiment onto the upper right corner in black ink. Add Ultra Bond liquid adhesive to the back of the stacked rectangles, and then adhere the image to the card. Ultra Bond is a great adhesive for attaching the paper to dimensional surfaces, like the Glitz Glitter Gel.
Die-cut a banner strip from Luxury White cardstock. Stamp the sentiment onto the banner using black ink. Adhere the banner to the bottom of the pumpkins using Ultra Bond adhesive.

My second card uses the same patterned paper collection, stencil, and Glitz Glitter Gel, but this time adding in bold pops of black and adorable stamps from the Gourd-geous stamp and die set.
To begin, stamp two pumpkin images onto Luxury White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and then color the images with Copic markers. Place the matching die down onto the images, and add a piece of Purple Tape to keep the die steady before running the image through your die cutting machine. Repeat the process with the second image.
Create a horizontal A2 card base from Luxury White cardstock. Cut a panel of Onyx Black cardstock to fit the card base, and then cut patterned papers to layer onto the base. To create the frame, cut a panel of Onyx Black cardstock. Place the largest rectangle from the Stitched Rectangle Small Set in the center of the panel, and die cut. Set the rectangle aside. Using Purple Tape to keep the dies from shifting, die-cut scalloped border from both the right and the bottom edge of the frame. Trim the other two sides as needed.
Cut a panel of Luxury White cardstock to fit behind the frame opening. And using the same steps as outlined in the first card, add Sweet Mange Glitz Glitter Gel dots using the same stencil. Add small dots of Ultra Bond adhesive to the very bottom of the pumpkins, and then adhere them inside the frame. Use additional dots of liquid adhesive to tack down the areas that overlap each other and the frame. Wrap twine around the top left corner of the frame.
Place Foam Squares behind the images and frame. Attach the frame to the gelled cardstock panel. Adhere the panel to the card base using Ultra Bond adhesive.
Stamp the sentiment onto a thin banner strip of Luxury White cardstock using black ink. Adhere it to the top right corner using Foam Squares. Add a piece of a foam square to the back of the spider sticker, and then attach it at the bottom of the twine.
Enjoy!
