Thanksgiving Wreath

I love the way this card turned out!! The inspiration for this card came from a card I saw on Pinterest that was made by Bonnie Szwalkiewicz.

The card starts with a Thick Very Vanilla card base.

The Very Vanilla cardstock top panel was cut out using the approximately 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" Stitched Rectangle die. The top panel was adhered onto the card base using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Crumb Cake Baker's Twine was looped in a couple of circles and adhered to the top panel on the left hand side of the loops with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The ends of the Baker's Twine were left long and frayed a little bit.

The leaves on the wreath were made using scraps of Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Rich Razzleberry and Soft Suede cardstock along with the leaf dies from the Flowers of Home dies. These were adhered onto the wreath in the same location as where the Multipurpose Liquid Glue was added above.

The pumpkin is from the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper and was fussy cut. The pumpkin was adhered on top of the location where the Multipurpose Liquid Glue was used above. Stampin' Dimensionals were adhered on each side of the pumpkin to support the area that was not held up by the twine and leaves.

The sentiment is from the Banner Year stamp set and has been stamped in Cajun Craze ink directly onto the top panel of the card. The Banner Year stamp set is a retired stamp set.

This sentiment on the inside of the card is from the Hello Harvest stamp set and has been stamped in Cajun Craze ink.

I hope you enjoyed my card today. If you are looking for a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I would love it if you chose me as your demonstrator!

Splendid Thoughts Thanksgiving

This was a fun and easy card to make. The inspiration for this card came from a card I saw on Pinterest that was made by Linda Dodge.

The card starts with a Cajun Craze card base.

The top panel has had all of the panel covered with Stampin' Up! Masking Paper except for 1 1/2" on the lower third of the card.

In the unmasked area the following colors of ink pads were used along with a Blending Brush to add the fall colors. The colors used were Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry and Mossy Meadow. After I was done color blending, the Stampin' Up! Masking Paper was removed and the panel was laid aside to dry.

Once the blended colors were dry, the leaves were heat embossed onto the area of the blended colors using VersaMark ink, one of the leaf stamps from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set and Gold Embossing Powder.

The butterflies were also heat embossed using Gold Embossing Powder and the butterfly stamp from the Daffodil Daydreams stamp set.

The sentiment is from the Banner Year stamp set, which is a retired stamp set, and has been heat embossed onto Basic White cardstock using Gold Embossing Powder.

Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added randomly on the card for accent.
