For this card I started with the ghost patterned paper from the Sweet Boo A2 Patterned Cardstock Pad and used a white luster brush marker to splatter white ink across the surface for a fun texture, then set it aside to dry while I got all my die cuts ready. I die cut the bow and ribbon pieces from the Christmas Gift die set out of the orange gingham pattern from the same Sweet Boo pad, adding a little Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink to give the gingham pieces some extra warmth and depth before assembling them, then die cut the pumpkin from the Holiday Gift die set using orange patterned paper from Sweet Boo for the body and a coordinating brown pattern from the Spicy A2 Smooth Cardstock Pad for the stem and details.

I die cut the long skinny tag from the Variety Stitch Tags die set out of solid orange Sweet Boo cardstock and stamped "Let's Hang Out" from the Beautiful clear stamp set in Pinecone VersaFine Clair ink, then assembled the pumpkin tag together into an adorable little charm. To build the card front I glued the vertical ribbon piece down first, then the horizontal piece so it looked like it was wrapping around the card, and layered all four bow pieces on top starting with the large backing, adding the tag charm a then the two middle bow loops, then the pumpkin charm, and finally the knot piece on top for the most satisfying layered bow. I finished with white gel pen highlights on the card and a few Chocolate Kiss Pops of Color scattered around the card for a little extra dimension and shine!
