    Frequently Asked Questions

    Please reach me at karrah@pumpkinbrains.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

    Each template uses three distinct carving techniques:

    • White areas: Cut all the way through the pumpkin.
    • Gray areas: Scrape the surface of the pumpkin (don’t cut all the way through).
    • Black areas: Leave untouched for contrast.

    To get the best results, here are the tools I recommend:

    • A wood gouge or a sharp tool for scraping the skin off the pumpkin.
    • Any carving knife from the kits you can find at Walmart.
    • A thumb tack to transfer the stencil to the pumpkin.
    • Tape to hold the stencil in place while you carve.
    • For lighting, I use a clamp light from Walmart with the aluminum casing and clamp removed. An energy-saving bulb works best since it doesn’t get hot.

    Yes! The templates are available in two sizes:

    • 8.5" x 11" for standard home printers.
    • 8" x 10" for photo labs or higher-quality prints.

    I recommend using a clamp light with the aluminum casing and clamp removed, leaving just the socket and cord. Energy-saving bulbs are ideal because they don’t produce heat, which keeps your pumpkin safe from burning or drying out.

    Once you complete your purchase, an email will be sent to you with a link to download your digital templates. Be sure to check your inbox (and spam folder, just in case) after checkout!

    After you receive your download email, simply download the PDF, print it out, tape it to your pumpkin, use a thumb tack to transfer the design, and start carving!

    Yes, I do! My calendar is filling up quickly, so the rates for custom pumpkins are:

    • $500 for pumpkins that need to be shipped.
    • $350 for local pickups.

    Due to the high demand and limited availability, I have to charge higher rates to accommodate custom requests. If you’re interested, reach out soon to secure your spot!

    Absolutely! I’m available for live carving demos and would love to travel for your party or event. Fly me out, and I’ll bring the pumpkin magic to you! Contact me for availability and rates.

    Yes, I do! If you're interested in collaborating or having a custom pumpkin carving for your brand, please contact me for more information.
