Supplies Ink Only orange Paper Old olive, Basic black, Only orange Accessories Pillow box Sizzix die, dauber Tombow 1, 1/2, 1/4 Inch circle punches as well as the photo corners punch! Start by cutting out 3 pillow boxes from Only Orange paper. Using only orange ink and a dauber daub edges of the pillow box to highlight. Then glue with Tombow the three pillow box sections together side by side to make the pumpkin body. Also cut large scallop for the bottom.

Here is another punch page I made for convention. I made this page using our flower punch and the boho blossoms punch. I used coordinating ink with the paper to create depth and dimension on the carrots as well as the carrot tops. I Love the fact that we have coordinating inks for our paper. I remember when I first started stamping I would get so frustrated when purchasing paper and ink that I thought would coordinate only to find they didn't match! Coordinating ink and paper is what brought me to Stampin' UP and keeps me. I am always surprised how when using the ink of the same color creates depth and dimension and was an important part of making these carrots really pop! Thanks for looking Virginia

Did you know the big shot can cut fabric too! I love my big shot but I marvel at all the things it can cut! I made this flower which could be a great pin or on a bag So quickly by using my Sizzix flower folds die! The project consists of cutting 2 of each size in the two types of fabric and then folding the flowers in half and weaving them together and just tacking them together attaching the button and the pin back! viola a great gift! I can see this as great tool for Christmas craft fairs to make some extra cash! If you are interested for info for the die, or you can purchase it here ! Thanks for looking Virginia
