One person. Every set tested.

Hi. I run this shop, and I am the whole shop. Not a team, not a template factory, just one person with a stack of pumpkins, a serrated knife and a kitchen table that never makes it through October looking good.

It started in 2020 with a few designs on Etsy. Since then 11,100+ orders have gone out the door with a 4.9 star rating across 1,118 reviews, which still surprises me every October. Every one of those sets went through the same check before it went up for sale.

How a set gets into the shop

I decide what goes in. I size it for print, count the designs so the number on the page is the number in the file, and grade how hard it carves before it ever gets a price. Most carving patterns are put together for paper and never get further than that.

Then I print it and carve it. Thin lines snap. Floating shapes fall out. Fine detail turns to mush the second a knife goes in, and I would rather find that out on my own kitchen table than have you find it out at 9 p.m. on October 30th. Nothing sells here until I have carved it.

What I care about

Spooky, but the fun kind: porch lights and costumes, never gore. Family friendly enough that a seven-year-old and their grandmother can both find something they love. Bold outlines and connected islands, so your carving night ends in a glow instead of a pile of crumbled pumpkin.

If you carve something from one of these sets, I would genuinely love to see it. Reply to your order email and send me a photo. Your pumpkins make my whole season.

Tested on real pumpkins since 2020.
