Keeping my promise, Give Thanks card
September 08, 2015
I'm keeping my promise! Here's a new card using some of the new products you'll see in the new Holiday mini catalog (that is not so 'mini')! This is a Give Thanks card, (Thankful Forest Friends stamp set) although you can substitute the stamp and use it for many occasions.....I'm going to tell you how to create this card and give you the supply list needed.
Here's how to make it:
1. Cust 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 Mossy Meadow cardstock, score at 4 1/4 on the long side--this is your card base.
2. Cut a piece of Into the Woods Designer Series Paper (use the design you like best--there are many to choose from) 3 3/4 x 5; adhere to the card front with multipurpose liquid adhesive.
3. Cut a piece of Crushed Curry cardstock 3 X 3; cut a piece of gold foil 2 5/8 X 2 5/8--adhere to the crushed curry with glue dots (this is because the foil has a slick backing--liquid will work ok too just give it time to dry well).
4 On a 2 1/2 X 2 1/2 Very Vanilla cardstock, stamp Give Thanks (Thankful Forest Friends stamp set) in Mossy Meadow Classic Ink. Adhere this to the gold foil--again, best adhesive will be glue dots.
5. Adhere the acorn and the leaf Wooden In the Wood Elements with glue dots (or liquid glue) (see picture).
6. Tie a bow in an 8"piece of gold Cording Trim and adhere to the middle of the leaf scroll at the top of the stamped image (I used glue dot).
You are done! How simple was that--again, you can adapt this design to many different designer papers and stamps--enjoy!
