So for my October project, I want to play with the Jack O Lanterns.... or do you just call them pumpkins like I do? Hmmm?

I wanted to show you a very easy way to make a basic card with two folds. That is called a GATEFOLD CARD because the front opens up like a gate... I know... original.

Here is the front of the card

The base card comes out to be 5.5 x 5.5 ( start with a sheet of 5.5 x 11, fold the sides in and meet them up in the middle) with the plaid matting measuring 5 x 5 for the inside and  another for the front but that is then cut in half at 2.5 to make the two panels. I use the left overs for the inside of the card... here

I then stamped the greeting on each of the scrap panels, add extra pumpkins. The one that is peeking on the right side, is the back of the middle pumpkin from the front of the card.  I added Nuvo Crystal Drops for the faux buttons.
I played around with coloring too:
top pumpkin: Prismacolor Pencils
middle pumpkins: Stampin Up Watercolor Crayons
bottom pumpkin: Spectrum Nior Markers

Stamp set used for this card is Witchie
(one of the prizes)

Hope you like todays card...
