Hey Pumpkin Scrapbook Layout

Hello Crate Paper friends! Happy Spooky October!! I am excited to share my layout using Hey Pumpkin today. I adore this collection! In my opinion, Hey Pumpkin is classically Halloweenish with fun colours and a modern twist! My layout today was inspired by the holographic Hocus Pocus Thickers. I love the fun icons and shiny foil surface!

I started by cutting a spider web heart cut file (by Paige Evans) from white cardstock. I scraped Vicki Boutin Silver Texture Paste over the entire spider web onto another sheet of white cardstock. I was careful to lift it as I went so it wouldn't stick to the paper underneath. I wasn't sure if I would use the under paper at this point, but wanted to have the choice! You could scrape texture paste over a cut file on a Sticky Thumb Splat Mat by American Crafts and then you wouldn't have to worry about it sticking to the surface below!

Next, I spent some time adding paint splatters to the full textured background. I decided it was too pretty not to use! I mixed up a colour that was close to the pale pink/peach colour in Hey Pumpkin and also added some yellow, pinkish-orange and mint green splatters. Once everything had dried, I added a couple of layers of holographic tulle on top of my spider web and stitched it onto the background with my sewing machine. Next, I added my vertical 4x6 photo and two tags from the Hey Pumpkin Ephemera Pack. I added some black and white baker's twine to the tags for additional texture, and I always love to put some type of string through a tag!

I found the Spooky H die-cut in the ephemera pack, and since my daughter's name is Hannah, it served two purposes! I filled in the bottom of the H ticket with a pumpkin sticker and a crow sticker. For finishing touches, I added loads of holographic stars, a pumpkin and the Eek! The sentiment below the photo. You can see in the photo below I offset the spiderweb when I stitched it on so that the background could show through the open spaces!

You can watch my process video to learn how to create your own Hey Pumpkin layout or just receive some inspiration!

I love my layout, and I hope you find some inspiration in it for your project! If you need a quick start to your next project, you could try picking out one item you love (like I did with the holographic Thickers) and build your idea around it! Thanks so much for joining me today! Happy creating!
