			IN THIS ISSUE Autumn Splendor Card My Digital Studio Video Product Deal of the Week Project Samples Color Inspiration

October 2009

Carving pumpkins into Jack-o-lanterns, eating pumpkin pie, and trips to the pumpkin patch are some favorite fall activities. It's interesting that this simple gourd has become a favorite fall icon for décor, activities, and treats! With the popularity of pumpkins, it just makes sense that we have quite a few different stamp sets with pumpkin images that are perfect for fall, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. With a variety of simple, funky, detailed, and traditional pumpkin-themed stamps, the search for the perfect pumpkin ends here for cards, décor, and scrapbooks.

I'm thinking of making Thanksgiving and fall thank you cards and the hardest part is deciding which pumpkin is my favorite! The Idea Book has several stamp sets with pumpkins that I really like, but I'm leaning towards a couple sets from the Holiday Mini. The fun Pumpkin Patch (#116499) set with mix n' match faces and trendy striped and polka-dot pumpkins or the beautifully detailed traditional pumpkin from the Gifts of Earth (#116501) set that is perfect for watercoloring. Decisions, decisions! No matter your style, you are sure to find the perfect pumpkin for your special fall projects!

Happy Stamping!

		ABOUT ME: I have been scrapbooking for 10 years and crafting for as long as I can remember. I love how scrapbooking allows me to combine all of my favorite crafts into one. I have only been a Stampin' Up demo for a few months, but I love every single minute of it. I can create beautiful projects for my family and friends and I can spend great time with ladies like you! Mostly, stamping is my ME time, we all need me time, I love to curl up at my scrap table, pop in a movie and stamp the night away.

New Cricut Cartridge Sneak Peak: Old West

Old West Cartridge Sneak Peak, no release date info available...

Free Jack-o-Lantern carving templates

I don't know about you, but I always struggle when its time to carve pumpkins. They never come out right and my kids have such great expectations! Check out these printables from about.com and get your carving off to a great start this year!

Select a pumpkin that is ripe, has no bruises, cuts or nicks. Do not carry a pumpkin by its stem; it may break, and do not bruise it as it will not last as long. For easy cleanup, place your pumpkin on several layers of newspaper before carving. Kids: have a parent or other adult cut a circle around the stem of the pumpkin for you. They should use a sharp knife with long, sturdy blade for best and safest results. Or, you can do it yourself with a safer, plastic "pumpkin carving" knife available at many supermarkets during the pumpkin season. Parents: knives are very sharp, so make sure that the proper supervision is maintained when the children carve their pumpkins.

Make sure the hole is large enough to reach in and pull out the seeds and stringy membrane. The bottom of the pumpkin could also be cut off instead, this will allow the pumpkin to sit up straight and make removing the seeds easier! When cleaning out the pumpkin, use an old soup ladle to get out the seeds. Try carving a giant pumpkin, it is easier to carve than a regular pumpkin.

Examine your pumpkin to determine the best place to carve his or her face. Draw an outline of a face on a plain sheet of white paper (use simple bold features), or print one of our handy Jack O'Lantern templates (Below on this page - click on any of the images to go to the full-sized print-ready template). Tape your paper to the pumpkin where you want the face to be. Score the design onto the pumpkin by punching through the paper into the pumpkin with a large nail or pin.

Carefully cut out the design following the holes that were "punched" with your plastic knife. When you are finished cutting, simply push out the pieces to view the final results. Now you're all set to light up your home on Halloween night! Have Fun!
