Hello SILVIE here with a fun Pumpkin tutorial to share.
Those 3D pumpkins will be
perfect for your Halloween projects as well as for festive Thanksgiving
decorations.
SUPPLIES:
White and green cardstock
Bone folder
Ranger Distress inks –
Rusty Hinge and Vintage Photo
Ranger
distressing tool (or sponge)
Adhesive
Tweezers
Die cutting machine
* STEP 1 *
Die cut
several pumpkins and stems with vines with your LLLC pumpkin die. You can use as many die cuts as
you want but to obtain a certain dimension, the minimum is 10. I’m using 20 pumpkins and 10 stems here. If
you use a lightweight cardstock or patterned paper, you can cut 2 shapes at a
time to go faster.
* STEP 2 *
Ink the
edges of pumpkins with Ranger Distress Ink - Rusty Hinge. Don't be afraid to go further with the ink towards the centre of the pumpkin.
* STEP 3 *
Fold each
pumpkin in half, align the edges as precisely as possible and make sure they are
even. Make crisp folds with your bone folder.
* STEP 4 *
Apply glue
on one side of your folded pumpkin and adhere your next folded pumpkin to it.
Make sure to line up the shapes along the straight edge where the fold is.
* STEP 5 *
Repeat the
same and adhere all your folded pumpkins together.
*STEP 6 *
Ink the
edges of the pumpkin with Ranger
Distress Ink - Vintage Photo.
*STEP 7 *
Glue stems
with vines to your pumpkin. As those are really tiny, using a pair of tweezers makes it
easier. It’s better to glue stems once the pumpkin is finished as you can
decide where exactly you want to put them.
Stems with
vines glued to the pumpkin:
* STEP 8 *
Your
pumpkin is now finished. You can glue
the back of the pumpkin to your card by applying glue to both finished ends of
the pumpkin. Or you can make it a standing
3D object – in this case apply adhesive on both finished ends and bring them
together.
Below you can see my other two projects using the pumpkins in 2 different ways:
