Hi there and happy almost Fall! I live in the desert southwest and it has been hot, so I am very ready for cooler temps! Today, I am sharing a tutorial for the 3D Small Pumpkin (SVGSilhouette). There is also a larger version of this pumpkin (SVGSilhouette) that comes together in the same way. The smaller size fits nicely in my tiered tray so that is what I went with. I also used papers and embellishments from Lori’s new I Love Fall paper collection by Echo Park Paper.

First, I folded all of the score lines as mountain folds and put a slight curve in the paper for the sides of the pumpkin. I also added a curve to the decorative paper sides. I used liquid glue to secure the decorative panels to the front, back, and sides of the pumpkin. I found working from the center out was the best to get the panels spaced evenly.
There is one inside piece in the file that helps shape the pumpkin. This piece is glued on the inside of all the tabs. You could cut two, but it isn’t necessary, and if you do cut two, add it after the stem is in place. I added glue to the top of the inside piece of the pumpkin (shortest side) and folded the largest tab over and making sure all of the corners meet up and are straight. Once it’s dry and secure, I added glue to one side of the entire edge of the inside piece, started at the bottom, and made sure to line the edges up then proceeded to secure the rest of the tabs to the inside piece. Repeating the process for the other side.
For the steam. There are five decorative panels. One is a square that goes in the middle and the others are polygon shapes that go around the middle making a cross. I added glue to the empty squares and folded the steam making a small box. The tabs on the bottom of the steam are inserted into the top of the pumpkin. There are two short tabs and two more extended tabs. The short tabs are glued down pointing toward the sides of the pumpkin. (so as not to go over the score lines)
Now it is time to secure the front and back of the pumpkin. Like before, I started with the bottom tab and ensured the corners and edges were all lined up. I then added glue to all the tabs, added the decorative panel over, and, did my best to make sure everything was lined up and secure. Flipped the pumpkin over and repeated the process.
The file comes with a couple of pumpkin leaves and a vine. I ended up cutting the stems off of the leaves and securing them to the front of the pumpkin. I also added a few puffy stickers and chipboard from the collection as well as some gold ink splatter.

I love how this little pumpkin turned out. It is a fun little Fall project that makes a darling decor piece for my kitchen tray. Thanks for stopping by today!

Box Card Crate Pumpkins

Hey crafters! Traci here and today, I’m sharing a fall card that I made using one of Lori’s fabulous cutting files called Box Card Crate Pumpkins (SVG, Silhouette). It’s perfect for the upcoming autumn season and, with a quick sentiment change … it can be given for lots of different occasions.

Fall Pumpkin Box Card made with a Lori Whitlock cutting file

 

I created this with Echo Park’s I Love Fall Collection designed by Lori. The earthy colors were perfect with rust, orange, green, golden yellow, and brown. 

I embellished the card with some enamel dots and a few really cute stickers from the 12×12 sticker sheet. I just love the little mouse sniffing that big sunflower. So cute!

 

3D Fall Card with pumpkins and a crate


I used a bunch of beautiful prints from the 6×6 paper pad for all of the pieces except for the crate. I used the 12×12 Autumn Woods print for that.

The card folds flat for sending in an envelope or for storing as a wonderful memento.

 

 

I hope you’re looking forward to the change in seasons. It’s a great time to create new projects with Lori’s amazing cutting files and the I Love Fall Collection. Happy crafting!
