The pre-printed image in the Aspens of Gratitude Paper Pumpkin Kit are SO beautiful! 
I wanted to keep as much of the image as I could, but create a super cool double fun fold card, let me show you how to make this card or scroll down to find a printable tutorial.

The only extra things you need that are not in the kit are: 
Three pieces of Pecan Pie cardstock, a scrap of Basic White and Blends for coloring.

Card base: 5½" x 8½" scored at 4¼"
Center "card":3½" x 7 7/8" scored at 4"
Bridge: ½" x 5½"
Basic White: 3¼" x 3¾"
Scrap of Basic White for stamping leaves


Cut and score your Pecan Pie card base, cut out the top center by cutting a 1¼" strip up to the center score line of the card base. With the card base from the kit and the first thing I did was cut it in half, then cut the card front down to 4"x 5½", cutting an 1/8" of an inch off each edge. I then cut 1" off each of the sides with the trees and this left me with a 3½" x 4" piece for the center. Glue the two printed 1" pieces to the card base side strips. Adhere the ½" x 5½" "bridge" piece on the back of the two card base strips. Stamp the greeting and add to the front of the "bridge" piece. Stamp and color a leave and add to the front of the card with dimensionals. 


Now for the second inside card. Using the remaining White piece from the kit card, cut it down to 4" x 5¼" and adhere it to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base. Cut and score the 3½" x 7 7/8" piece of Pecan Pie card stock and adhere it to the center of the open card base over the white piece you just added. Adhere the remaining piece with the printed trees to the front of this smaller card. Stamp a greeting and leaves to the smaller Basic White piece of cardstock and adhere to the inside of the smaller card.


Add a couple of the gems included in the kit and you're done! What do you think? 

One extra thing, if you want add one more step to your card, you can add some ink splatter.  I used a Blend to tap a little splatter onto my stamped leaves and inside the card. This is a technique that is easy to do, but may require a little masking and practice. It's hard to control where the splattered ink goes, some make sure you down have anything in the area you don't want ink on!
