I realized that we didn't have any pumpkin decoration for this weekend….so I stopped by the farmer's market and picked up these 3 little pumpkins which were all about the same size.
I used my Big Shot and the Serif Essentials Alphabet Dies to cut the letters BOO from a white Decor Elements sheet. Since the letters were small enough to manage easily (and since these are admittedly not permanent decorations!), I simply peeled the backing off the letters and stuck them onto the pumpkins (which I'd wiped down with a damp towel & dried). Normally, and especially with larger elements, I would use the transfer sheet to avoid getting my fingers all over the adhesive and lessen the tackiness, but hey, it's a quick holiday decoration. It was a little fiddly since the surface is not flat, but I was happy with the result. This literally took me about 5 minutes – not counting the time to purchase the pumpkins. I think I took longer choosing the pumpkins than decorating them. (and YES I took this photo myself; used my 50mm f1.4 Nikon lens. I LOOOOOVE this lens and should use it more than I do).
Stampin' Up!'s Definitely Decorative catalogue features wonderful Decor Elements designs for your home or crafting projects. I love the fact that I can buy the Decor Elements sheets, and with the help of my Big Shot, quickly create decorative elements for any occasion or surface!!!
