Hello everyone! Heather Hoffman here today, and I’m feeling all the fun fall feelings with the newest and appropriately named October 2025 Card Kit: Fall Vibes! Keep reading to learn more about how I created this card:

I started this card off with the stunning Pumpkin Patch layering stencil set. The possibilities and color combos are endless with this one, and one of my favorite things about cardmaking, is that you can create things in any color your heart desires! I blended these with two color tones for each pumpkin stencil layer, using the lightest shade for all over color with a large brush, and the deeper shade with a smaller brush to add some depth to the centers of each pumpkin. I used Artichoke and Kale, Fairy and Plum, Zest and Honey, then Woodsy for the stems. I trimmed the panel down to a perfect A2 size using A2 Rectangles dies, then added some blending around the edges with Latte ink to create a more vintage feel. I also added some gold splatters using a Zig Starry Colors watercolor palette, a bit of water, and a paint brush, then set that aside to dry thoroughly.

Next up, I chose a sentiment from the A2 Grid Basics stamp set, and heat embossed it on a strip of vellum using Antique Gold embossing powder – that color did a good job of keeping with the vintage feel and theme! I also die cut a white circle using one of the small Basic Circles dies to tuck behind the sentiment to help it pop from the busy background, but without covering too much of those lovely pumpkins! Before I added that to my card however, I used a white gel pen to add some details and accents to the pumpkins. I added a little line accent to each stem, and then went a little crazy with the dots – I love the whimsical feel it added to the design!

Once the white gel pen details were finished, I wrapped the vellum around the panel and adhered it in the back, tucking the white circle in place directly behind the sentiment. I then adhered that entire panel to my white cardbase, and adhered one of the Tim Holtz photo frames in the kit around the sentiment to make it pop! A few Gold Dazzling Gems, and a loopy bow created with Vivant Rose Gold cord finish this card off!
