Lollie Pumpkin
Whilst at retreat I made this little 3D pumpkin.
This is a super easy little project -
A lot of WOW, for little work!!
To make the pumkpin:
I used Pumpkin Pie Cardstock...
4 pieces of each size
8" x 2 1/2"
8 x 2 1/4"
8" x 2"
8" x 1 3/4"
The next step is the time consuming part....
Score each along the 8" side at every 1" starting at 1/2"
(so 1/2", 1 1/2", 2 1/2", 3 1/2" etc)
Flip the card over and score at every 1"
inbetween the other score lines
(so 1", 2", 3" etc)
Now take fold all your card up - lke a concertina.
Take two of the same size and stick them
end to end, and also the other ends too...so you
get a ring of folded cardstock.
Punch 16 circles of Pumkpin Pie card - I did a 1 3/8",
put glue all over one circle as you use them.
Push the concertina down in the middle and you will
get a circle of folds -
put the gluey circle in the middle of the folded circle
and hold until the glue sets.
Do this again on the back.
Sponge all the edges with pumpkin pie ink.
Repeat until you have 8 scored and folded 'lollie' / concertina
circles.
Start with the largest and glue them together..
I put glue on those punched circles in the middle.
Then, progressively add circles to make
the shape of the pumkpin.
To make the ribbon spiral
twist Grosgrain around a wooden dowel rod
and bake in an oven at 250° for 20 minutes
then cool and slide it off.
The leaves were made using the Gently Falling
Stamp set in SU holiday mini.
I stamped them, cut them out and then sponged
around the edges!
The stalk is a 1 1/2" x 2" Early Espresso card stock
that I rolled around a toothpick.
I then pierced a hole in the top of the pumpkin
and pushed it into the gap.
I really enjoyed making this project -
it is really easy!
I think I may make a few more to put around
the house during the fall! At least
they don't go mouldy like the
real mini pumpkins!
I appreciate your comments.

_____Hiya Betty!
___I am so glad you liked this project! Unfortunately, there isn't anything I can do about the email text - my website has such a dark background that I have to use pale text, and Feedburner and Google Reader simply lift that text and put it in a blank email....to help you I have added, at the top of each email upsate, a link to click on to take you to the post if you are having trouble reading it. I know how frustraing it is...I am so sorry! :o) K
Yes, the email text is pale. I used to highlight the text to read it, but, since you put the link in the top, I don't mind clicking on it to go to your post. I love reading what you post so don't mind going to your website to read it. I look forward to your emails so I know when you have posted another great project. Thank you for sharing all you do.
