Welcome to the Altenew October 2024 Release blog hop! I’m so excited to have you with me today. I have a few cards to share with you using products from this release. You can see the entire collection here.
For my first card, I used the new Pumpkin Patch Simple Coloring Stencil set with the coordinating Pumpkin Patch 3D Embossing Folder.
To create this card, I stenciled the pumpkin patch simple coloring stencil onto the new Sicilian Amber Cardstock. This cardstock color is perfect for fall cards. The inks I used were Sunkissed, Orange Cream, Autumn Blaze, Fire Brick, and Hunter Green. All these colors are new from Altenew.
The sentiment for the card came from the Pumpkin Patch Outline stamp set. The stamp said also has coordinating dies, which I used to die cut out the large sentiment. The smaller sentiment was trimmed down with my paper trimmer. In addition, I added some beautiful Citrine Gems using the new Perfect Picker tool.
Now my second I REALLY love how it turned out. For this card I stamped the Pumpkin Patch Outline Stamp Set with Espresso Ink onto Vanilla Cream Cardstock. Gold shimmer spray was applied over the image. This gave the image incredible sparkle.
Once the spray tried, I die cut out the image using an oval die cut. Then I used several fall colored alcohol markers from Altenew to color in the pumpkins making sure to not color every pumpkin. This is such a cool effect.
Now for the background, I used Vanilla Cream Cardstock and ran it through my die cutting machine with the Altenew Woven Basket Embossing Folder. To make the design stand out, I swiped Altenew Sand Dunes and Rocky Shore inks over the embossed area. All that was left was to add the beautiful pumpkins to my woven background and add a sentiment.

Beautiful cards. I wish I knew exactly how you did the woven basket embossing folder. I have so much trouble with mine. Lol
Hi Sarah. I ran the embossing folder through my machine. Next, I rubbed my ink pad over the embossed background. Easy peasy!
Beautiful cards. I love the Pumpkin Patch. Beautiful coordinating colors.
Thanks Jeanne!
I love all things pumpkin! They truly welcome Fall. My favorite of your 2 cards is the second. I love the coloring and the oval die cut pumpkin patch- so eye catching. And of course the basket weave background.
Thank you Dorothy!

Thank you Tara!
I LOVE your pumpkins and designs! Just gorgeous fall cards!
Hey Meghan. Thank you!
Both awesome cards! I’m loving that pumpkin background stamp. My favorite is your first where you added the black lines and dots. I never think of creative thinks like that…probably why I’m not a on any design teams lol!
I forget to use them too. I just felt like I needed something else on the card.

I love the different takes! The added black detail is wonderful.
Beautiful designs! Love how you cut the pumpkin background with the oval die!
What fun cards!
Both cards are so unique. I like the “stitching” around the first and the “weaving” on the second. Both are so pretty.
Love that pumpkin set! Beautiful cards you made with it! Such great autumn colors!
Love these cards, Dana! The sparkle on the second one is so pretty.
Beautiful fall cards!!!
Ms. Dana, both cards are beautiful, but that second one and all its sparkle stole my heart! Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi Dana. Your cards are so pretty. Fall is my favorite season, so I am always excited to see different designers’ cards. I love the all the pumpkins released by Altenew this month. I think your card using the Gold Shimmer Spray is gorgeous. I will bet it is even more gorgeous in person. I will have to try out that spray.
I really like both of your pumpkin looks. GREAT IDEAS
