Be Thankful

Posted on November 23, 2024 9:45 PM by Julie Comment

Since fall is coming to an end and Thanksgiving is next Thursday, this may be my last autumn card for the year. And I had a lot of fun making this one. Once you start die cutting these beautiful leaves out of fall colors, it’s hard to stop! So my wreath has a bushel of leaves on it. So much more fun than raking them in the yard.

A big congrats to Dawn, the newest Featured Stamper, FS929! She has a beautiful gallery & I didn’t have to go far to find THIS card to case. I kept the layout & leaves around a circle, but used different dies, slightly different colors & added a few red rust colored layers.

My card is pretty self explanatory. I die cut a bunch of these leaves out of all of the fall colors you see. I love the veining on the leaves & there are a few bigger ones I didn’t use. The greeting was stamped on a stitched circle, backed with a narrow circle of the red rust, then attached to a larger stitched circle. These are all popped up a bit. I added some sticky tape to the back of the circle then started arranging the leaves. After the first layer was stuck to the back, I added a bit of glue to the succeeding layers then attached a cardboard circle to the back side to hold them all in place. The white layers were also backed with very narrow red rust layers.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Colors of Autumn

Posted on November 22, 2024 9:55 PM by Julie Comment

Autumn colors are the best! I love all the leaves and colors. I also love making wreaths and today I have a twig wreath with wheat grass in fall colors. The wheat heads are textured and have a bit of sparkle to them.

For the Inspiration Challenge, we are visiting World Market & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture for my inspiration. I liked the wispy look of the wreath against the white door.

To make my wreath, I die cut one brown & one Kraft twig wreath then stacked them w/ a cardboard version underneath. The stalks of the wheat were cut out of Kraft & brown then arranged underneath the wreath. I trimmed off any pieces that went inside the wreath. I had a stack of paint chips from Lowe’s that are a sandstone texture & have a bit of sparkle in them. I used these to cut the heads of the wheat out & attached them to the stalks. The greeting was stamped on a die cut circle & placed under the center of the wreath. Another larger cardboard circle was attached under the wreath to help hold all of the wheat stalks in place. A piece of designer paper was used for the background & it is attached to a very narrow layer of rust colored card stock.

Thankful Wreath in Neutrals

Posted on November 15, 2024 10:05 PM by Julie Comment

Although I love using lots of color, sometimes I’m in the mood for neturals. I also love making cards with wreaths on them. So today I have a Thanksgiving wreath card done in all neutral earth colors. This is pretty quick and easy to make, so let me give you the steps.

For the Inspiration Challenge we are visiting The Wreath Shop & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture for my inspiration.

I pulled out a handful of neutral card stock: tan, Kraft, ivory, vanilla & a textured cream. Two different wreath dies were used. The leafy one was cut out of ivory & the twig was cut out of vanilla & stacked on top of the leafy wreath. I added a card board back to the leafy wreath for sturdiness. Two different dies of little pumpkin were used to cut the pumpkins & 1 gourd out of each of neutral colors. Again I added card board behind each of them. A few wheat ears were die cut out of Kraft and attached on either side. The background was cut out of Kraft & attached to a plain tan piece. I wanted it to show but not take over. Finally, the greeting was white embossed on Kraft & die cut w/ its matching die.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
