Die cut reveal SOUS-Thanksgiving Table

another Friday reveal for us ladies over at SOUS today and for this Friday's die challenge is "THANKSGIVING TABLE!".. You can interpret that in anyway you want.. I chose to do a little home decor project for my kitchen table.. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Finland and even though my husband is American and I grew up in the States, we usually just have a nice dinner for Thanksgiving, but don't do the whole big Turkey dinner.. we save that for Christmas..LOL

Here is my take on our Die Cut challenge for this week:

I found this cute idea on Pinterest when Wanda Boardley first  introduced me to Pinterest.. From looking at the photo of the pumpkins, I knew right away that they would be simple to make and thew really were... 

the big pumpkin stands up 5.5" and the little one 3.5" , I cut twelve  5.5" circles for the big one and then six 3.5" for the small one,  using my George and Basic Shapes Cartridge and my Cricut Expression.. folded them in the middle, inked the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink and then glued the backs together.. super simple!!

the tops I just cut a 1"x 2" of cardstock, glued the ends together and punched a 1" circle out of paper, using a 1" circle punch.. I did ink the cardstock before assembly..  The leaves I cut from the A Childs Year cartridge, inked them (tutorial can be found on my blog under Leaf tutorial) and then the swirls, I just twirled strips of paper (inked before before twirling) around a small rounded paintbrush handle.. 

I have one close up of the pumpkins, its a little bit blurry.. No natural lighting in this country this time of year, its day light outside, but the sun is hidden away behind the mountain of dirty clouds that have taken over our beautiful blue skies..LOL

I like the way they look at the end of my dinner table along with a mason jar candle holder I created with some dry beans and lentils, and with my ceramic squashes..LOL  had to buy those when I seen them...
