Free Printable Vintage Pumpkin Seed Tags and Roasted Pumpkin Seed Recipes

Free Printable Vintage Pumpkin Seed Tags

It's pumpkin carving time! Although one might say the best part of carving a pumpkin is when you finally light your jack o'lantern and see your creation, but I say it's the pumpkin seeds. I still can taste my mom's recipe... it was rather basic (i.e., lots of butter and salt), and so tasty!

Here are some festive vintage-style Printable Pumpkin Seed Tags perfect to tie around a little bag of roasted pumpkin seed goodness to hand out to friends, neighbors and family. This treat is a great alternative to candy, and can last well beyond Halloween. You can even roast pumpkin seeds and put them at each guests' place at the Thanksgiving table.

Inspired by BBQ Sauce Labels: A Wild Western BBQ Bash Invitation by B.Nute

BBQ Sauce Label Inspiration for a Western BBQ Bash Invitation by B.Nute productions

I'm not sure if it was the time of day, and I was particularly hungry, but when a customer requested a BBQ invitation-- and mentioned they were holding it at a Steak House... the first thing that popped into my mind was BBQ sauce!

Inspiration is truly everywhere. I had so much fun designing this invite. I hand made the background pattern... it has an old west, Victorian-weathered feel to it. Then, I made a bold "badge" shape to contain all the invitation details. More weathered textures, and lots of old western fonts... and it's time for some grilling and fun.

Mmmm, mmm good!

More 'Stache Madness on Pinterest

There's a whole wide world of Mustache craziness out on the internet waiting for your perusal. If you have a 'stache, are having a Mustache Bash, or just are in love with anything having to do with mustaches... come check out my Mustache Madness board over on Pinterest!

Long Live the Mustache!

Mustache Bash Party Goods by B.Nute productions

Over a year and a half ago, in early 2010 I was asked by a customer to create a Mustache Bash party invitation. The mustache craze as seen now had not yet gone "viral," but there were definitely some pioneers out there with many mustache party traditions.

Lo and behold, this party has turned out to be one of my most popular themes. I've customized it for all sorts of occasions; little boy birthdays, big boy birthdays, wedding showers, baby showers, bachelor/bachelorette parties, even a fiesta!

Just recently, a customer requested some more matching accessories, a photo booth sign, and a Pin the Mustache on the Gentlemen game. I was happy to oblige! I do love the look and have had so much fun designing it. So, a toast... "Long live the 'stache!"

Inspired by Italian Pottery: A Tuscan Invitation from B.Nute productions

Tuscan Party invitation by B.Nute productions**

Inspiration is everywhere! I can definitely attest to this. I must say, I can flip through a magazine, look out my window or spend about a second on the internet and will be inspired to make a new invitation.

When my sister asked me to create an invitation for her "Tuscan inspired" birthday celebration at a winery, the first thing that came to mind was Italian Pottery. If you happen to go to her house, you'd know why this came to mind-- not only is she nuts about Tuscany (and Provence), her home echos this color palette and styling to a T.

To create this Tuscan Party invitation, I looked through several different Italian pottery patterns and then hand drew my own. Then I scanned and "painted" it on the computer. Of course, a little "muddled" pottery texture in the background adds to the effect.

What inspired you today?
