Intermediate

Row of Hearts and Dots

Eight little hearts march in a straight row around the middle of the pumpkin, each topped by a small drilled dot, forming a glowing band of love. Every heart and dot is cut fully through, and the design is made for a wide, flat pumpkin where the horizontal band can wrap the whole front. Mark a level guideline around the pumpkin first so the hearts stay evenly spaced and perfectly aligned when lit.

Seated Rabbit with Split Ears

A seated rabbit in profile with two tall split ears, a rounded back, and tucked front paws, cut through as a nearly single silhouette with slim gaps defining the ears and feet. The shell around the bunny stays whole so the glowing shape reads crisply from a distance. Carve the narrow gap between the ears first; it is the finest cut on an otherwise smooth outline.

Bone Below Two Paw Prints

A large dog bone glows across the lower face of the pumpkin with two paw prints stamped above it, each paw built from a rounded pad and four little toes. All pieces are cut fully through, so the bone and paws shine like a porch sign for the neighborhood's favorite dog. A gentle medium carve; punch out the sixteen small toe and pad holes first, then saw the bone in halves, meeting in the middle.

Large Heart and Two Paw Prints

A large heart glows at the center flanked by a full paw print on each side, every pad and toe pierced clean through the wall. It is a natural fit for pet lovers, veterinary clinics, and rescue fundraisers. Cut the eight small toe ovals first while the shell is sturdy, then the two big pads, and finish with the heart, easing around its top notch so both lobes stay symmetrical.

Six Hearts and Tiny Top Heart

Six hearts arranged in a ring point inward toward the center, with a tiny seventh heart crowning the top and small round dots filling the gaps between them like beads on a wreath. Every heart and dot is cut fully through, creating a lantern that throws a circle of glowing hearts across the porch. For this medium carve, poke a starter hole in each heart and cut the notch last; the dots are quick work with an apple corer or drill bit.

Seven Hearts in a Tall Zigzag

Seven hearts zigzag down the front in an alternating left-right column, with small round dots sprinkled between them for sparkle. Each heart and dot cuts fully through, and the vertical layout is made for tall, skinny pumpkins and gourds. A medium carve mostly for the layout; tape the stencil straight down the tallest face before transferring, and carve from the top heart downward so shavings fall clear of finished cuts.

Sleepy Eyes and Eight Lashes

Two closed crescent eyes with four little lashes apiece rest above a small oval mouth, while round dots on each side form rosy cheeks for a sweetly sleeping face. Every crescent, lash, dot, and the mouth is pierced through, so the tiny lash cuts do the expressive work. Cut the two big crescents first, then add the short lash strokes with a fine saw, keeping each one clear of its neighbor.

Heart Cheeks and Eight Dots

An irresistibly cute kawaii face: two tall oval eyes, a tiny curved smile, a heart-shaped blush on each cheek, and eight little sparkle dots scattered around the edges. Every element is a small pierced opening, and the wide spacing across a squat pumpkin gives it that classic sticker-art charm. At medium difficulty the hearts and dots demand patience; use a drill bit or apple corer for the round sparkles to keep them perfectly circular.

Bee with Three Raw Stripes

A friendly bumblebee spreads four scalloped wings wide, with a round head, curled antennae, and a plump body banded by three raw stripes. This is a shading design with no pierced holes: the wings, head, and body stripes are shaved down to pale flesh while strips of dark skin form the outlines and bands. Shave the big wing panels first, then refine the narrow antennae with a small gouge.

Side-View Penguin

A plump penguin stands in profile with its beak raised, and the design is built entirely from skin shading rather than pierced cuts. You shave away the rind across the penguin's white belly and face for a bright glow, leave the darker back and flipper as untouched skin, and etch a fine outline around the whole bird. For this medium etch, remove the belly in shallow, even layers and stop as soon as light glows through at test lighting.

Round Penguin with Raw Wings

A chubby cartoon penguin stands front and center with round eye patches, a little triangle beak, stubby flippers, and wide webbed feet. The design uses skin shaving instead of holes; you peel the pale belly, face, and feet down to the flesh so they glow softly while the outline stays raised. Trace the border with a shallow V cut first, then peel inward for tidy edges on this medium carve.

Upright-Eared Bulldog Face

An adorable French bulldog face with the breed's signature upright bat ears glowing at the top, round eyes, a button nose, and a tidy mustache-like muzzle with a small mouth below. The ears, eyes, nose, and muzzle are pierced openings while the skin between them shapes the flat Frenchie face. At medium difficulty the big ear panels are easy, but take care around the narrow gap between the nose and mouth so the bridge stays intact.
