✨ Card 1 – Hot Foil + Scrap Foil Pumpkin Card

This first card is extra special because it features two foiling techniques in one project!

• First, I use a hot foil machine to add a gorgeous shiny finish to my pumpkin die cut.
• Then, I take leftover scrap foil and use it in a completely no-heat technique to create matching embellishments — no fancy tools required.

This card is the perfect way to combine your hot foil machine with a fun, budget-friendly hack that uses every bit of foil you already own.

🎉 Card 2 – Shaker Pumpkin Card

This one might be my favorite! See how I turned the negative space from the die into a gorgeous shaker window. It’s a fun and interactive way to get more from a single die set.

🧵 Card 3 – Stitched Pumpkin Card

This stitched version adds a cozy, handmade touch to your cards. I’ll show you how to easily add stitching with embroidery floss — a perfect relaxing project for fall evenings.
