Gourd-geous

Hi Crafty Friends,
This fall Poppy Stamps Scalloped Framer Tag is totally gourd-geous with layers of orange pumpkins and glittery gourds from Poppy Stamps Pumpkin Patch Dies. I love the mix of matte and sparkle pumpkins for a cozy autumn look with just the right amount of shine.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you decorate with pumpkins and gourds in the fall?
A: Me? Yes! Love the unique shapes 

This tag was so easy to put together. I just die cut the pumpkins out of two shades of orange cardstock and bronze glitter cardstock. Then, I add brown stems to the tops.


I diecut the 2nd largest tag from the set out of matching orange cardstock to the pumpkins then I arranged them along the bottom of the tag and added a little gold gem to the hole at the top.
