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!

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!"
