Happy Thanksgiving

Wishing you a safe and blessed Thanksgiving Day with your loved ones. For this card used Accent Opaque Digital International Paper cover smooth white cardstock 80 lb. for layer and 120 lb. for A2 card base. 

I started by folding the A2 card base into a “s” fold then I grabbed a another white layer and stamped the pumpkin from Thankful stamp set by LDRS Creative for Scrapbook.com with Altenew crisp dye inks warm and cozy collection orange cream, firebrick and green fields collection evergreen then die cut it with double stitched rectangle die by Kat Scrappiness and then added some color on the background with Tim Holtz distress ink salvaged patina for the sky with ergonomic brush and old paper and gathered twigs with Erin Lee Creative blending brushes, for the front message I used Thankful heart stamp set from the holiday collection by CTMH with VersaFine Clair pinecone ink. For the stopper I used classic label punch with Joy to the world stamp set paper pumpkin October 2020 stamp set with VersaFine Clair pinecone ink and mounted to modern label punch 3 layers both punches are from SU. I mounted the front layer to a scrap of brown cardstock die cut with Cindy Echtinaw Designs Card Creator Perfect Layers A

Another alternative to September 2020 Kit. Used Accent Opaque Digital International Paper cover smooth white cardstock 80 lb. for layer and 120 lb. for A2 card base. 

Started by grabbing the card base and scoring and folding in half then punched with 1-3/4” EK whale of a punch circle then die cut a piece of brown cardstock from stash with Cindy Echtinaw Designs Card Creator Perfect Layers A then I mounted it to card base and punched again the circle; then die cut a white layer with Cindy Echtinaw Designs Card Creator Perfect Layers B and I punched with 2” EK circle so the opening will match as much as possible, having the same kind of punches would be easy but it didn’t. I stamped leaves in the wind bold prints by Hero Arts with Gina K Design amalgam ink whisper ink twice as it was too light (sorry photo don't show). From the brown circle I punched a 1-1/4” EK circle and from a scrap piece another circle and then mounted on each a printed die cut pumpkin and a printed laser-cut curly string from kit; ran a fishing thread between both circles before glueing back to back and then between the brown and white layer to make a spinner. Finally, I stamped my message from the set beautiful day by Altenew with cajun craze spot ink from the kit

This is another alternative to September 2020 Kit. Used Accent Opaque Digital International Paper cover smooth white cardstock for layer and A2 card base. Started by cutting the double-sided printed cracker box into a layer size with Cindy Echtinaw Designs Card Creator Perfect Layers A and mounted on the card base. Then I grabbed another white piece and die cut it with stitched square die by The Stamps of Life then mounted on a piece of brownish cardstock from my stash and mounted all to the base. I decorated with printed die cut from kit: flowers, leaves and pumpkins as well as a couple printed laser-cut curly strings so the pumpkin weren’t just flying. I added some pearls from my stash on the center of each flower. I finished by adding a message on a scrap of white cardstock with cajun craze spot ink that came in the kit and the message was from Autumn Greetings by Sunny Studio
