3D Pumpkin Decor with Traci

Hi crafters! Traci here and today, I have a great project for the fall season. I made some beautiful 3D pumpkins that will add a fun shape and pattern to your home’s decor. You can place them around the house, on a mantel, or cluster them together in a centerpiece for your dining table. Perfect for Thanksgiving!

3D Paper Pumpkin Decorations for fall

I created them using one of Lori’s amazing cutting files called 3D Pumpkin Solid Panels (SVG, Silhouette) and the Echo Park, I Love Fall Collection that she also designed. I made three and adjusted the size of the file for the last one by 30%. It’s a little smaller and so cute!

Each panel can be removed so that you can place a small battery-operated tea light inside. However, since I’m using them in a centerpiece with candles and vases, I left them out. With the cute papers and shape, they were perfect as is!

I used three 12×12 pattern papers: Plump Pumpkins, 3×4 Journaling Cards, and Crisp Fall Air. They’re fabulous and look great with the solid card stock I chose in rust, orange, cream, brown, and green.

Fall Inspired 5×7 House Card

Fall is finally here.  My favorite season of all and Lori has this gorgeous new collection with
 Echo Park “I Love Fall”.  Beautiful autumn colors and the perfect patterns to play with, so I created a card with this fun collection.  It’s Lori’s 5×7 House Card and you can find it
here in The Silhouette Design Store.  I love how this turned out and I will send to someone special for Thanksgiving perhaps.   And since most of us don’t have 5×7 envelopes sitting around…Lori has a file for those, too.  I found it here in the Silhouette Design Store.  This collections has so many amazing embellishments and just too fun to create with!
Thanks for stopping by today!

Pumpkin Truck Back Box Card

Hello everyone. Marcia here.

Fall is officially here and I will soon be venturing to our local pumpkin patch with the family for some fun activities. For Fall wishes, The Lori Whitlock’s Pumpkin Truck Back Box Card (SVG, Silhouette) is so festive. It reminds me of those trips to the pumpkin patch.

I created my truck from cardstock and added some solid pattern papers from the Echo Park Paper I Love Fall collection. I couldn’t resist adding the little racoon to my truck bed. He was cut from a die cut ephemera piece.
 
I know this card will put a smile on someone’s face! Best of all it folds flat for mailing. Lori has lots of other fun Fall cards in her shop. Go take a look.
Thanks so much for stopping by today.

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 (SVG, Silhouette). There is also a larger version of this pumpkin (SVG, Silhouette) 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!
