I named myself The Crafting Professor, since I'm a crafter, and I'm a college professor. I went through many, many years of graduate school, and the best source of relaxation and stress relief was being in my craft room or going to a local crop. Back then, I never told anyone that I was a full-time graduate student. I was waiting for the day I would scrapbook my graduation page. Now, I run the ScrapbookerPhD challenge blog (http://scrapbookerphd.blogspot.com), and am bringing my passion for crafting and teaching together. But here, at The Crafting Professor, I'm just sharing my work with like-minded crafters from all over the world.

All the Scary Pumpkins
It's time for another card challenge with Cardz TV. The theme for this challenge is: To Die For. A Halloween challenge using die cuts. It's the perfect time for Halloween cards. I know I have at least 8 more cards to make. It's a good thing that there are so many fabulous SVG sites for inspiration.
For my project, it was all about this SVG file from Miss Kate Cuttables. There are four layers of color that help capture the glow of a candle in the carved pumpkins. The cut itself was really the focal point. I added the patterned paper keeping with the dark tones. The sentiment is from the Spooky Saying stamp set from CardzTV. This is a great stamp set. I have used almost every sentiment on this set and also have purchased More Spooky Sayings.
I did pop the pumpkin stack up off the card for some depth.
