Hi creative and crafty friends! It’s Wanda here today on The Greetery Blog! Happy November! It’s my birthday month, and one of my favorite holidays – Thanksgiving! And all things Autumn and cozy! Hard for me to choose if I love October or November more! Have you received your Greetery Christmas supplies yet? Wasn’t that release amazing?! I loved it so much!
Today I’m taking a moment to share a warm and colorful Thanksgiving card made with a mix of old and new supplies. My card features the brand new Market Tote Mini – turned into a 3D card instead of a treat box. I also used lots of Autumn themed Greetery stamps and dies…
My finished card is an A2 kraft card base. I die cut the Postal Frame Die from cream cardstock and then inked just the top third of that piece using Distress Inks and blending brushes. I went to town die cutting leaves and pumpkins and mushrooms using the following dies: Autumn Harvest, BotaniCuts Toadstools and Curio Autumn! I used red, orange, yellow and green – all the Autumnal tones.
I gently ink shaded all the die cut pieces using matching Distress Inks and then I generously splattered everything with gold metallic paint for that golden fall glow…. To assemble the tote I die cut only one tote piece and then trimmed off the bottom to about 1/4 inch. Then I stacked three pieces of foam tape in the center of the tote so that when I placed it on the card it would bow out. I used liquid glue to glue down each side of the tote onto the card. After the tote was mounted, I tucked in the leaves and foliage into the top! A tiny tag (love) comes with the Market Tote Mini die! One little pumpkin from the Autumn Harvest set for good measure. It is giving me Cornucopia vibes! The sentiment is from the Oakwood stamp set and matching die.
That’s it for my project for today! Happy Thanksgiving! I am grateful to be part of this lovely creative community here at The Greetery. Always a lot to be thankful for. Wishing you a happy holiday! Sending love from my craft room to yours! I hope you have an awesome and creative day today. It’s my pleasure to share with you every month. I will see you soon…. In the meantime, happy crafting! XO Wanda
