Today I'm sharing a 3D project that I've created with my supply of Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper. It wasn't so easy to photograph and I haven't started decorating for fall yet, so it's hard to see it "in context."


DEEtails:

I started by selecting my color palette. I loved the idea of yellows and browns and pulled out various DSPs from my collection that matched. I made my stem by cutting 2" strips of Crumb Cake card stock and applied ModPodge medium to them. Then I twisted them into some "sticks." I adhered my twigs together with my hot glue gun and trimmed them to size. Then I cut 1" strips of my various DSPs and used the same technique to make thinner sticks. I adhered each stick to my stem in a "C" shape, using my hot glue gun until I filled my entire pumpkin. I could probably have filled in my pumpkin more, but it was exhausting, not to mention a gooey mess! Haha! Perhaps I will go back and add more to fill in the rest. For more information, check out the tutorial for Paper Pumpkins over at WhipperBerry.
