Give Thanks Pumpkin Wreath

 

Hi Friends!

I wanted to create another card for The Card Concept #210 Pumpkin Season Challenge and decided to pull out two older (but still current) stamp sets-Seasonal Wreaths-Fall/Winter Bundle along with the Welcome Fall stamp set, Carta Bella Welcome Autumn 6x6 Paper Pad, two 3D embossing folders, lace trim, and other supplies (all from Stamp Simply)!

I also enjoy playing along with other online challenges and incorporated the Freshly Made Sketches #657 Sketch for the layout and am also playing along with the Retro Rubber Challenge #241 Tic-Tac-Toe (far left down Die Cut-Tag-Pumpkin) and the Simon Says Monday “Use Patterned Paper”.

One of the requirements of the Retro Rubber Challenge is to use stamp sets that are at least a year old or older.  Both sets used in this card are several years old, but perfect for fall and Christmas cards!

If you have not had a chance to check out the rest of my Sister Design Team cards on the Stamp Simply blog, or the other challenge sites yet, I hope you take the time to do so- wonderful inspiration from all!

 

To create this card:

Emboss a piece of 4” x 5 ¼” white cardstock with the 3D Foliage Texture Fades embossing folder, mount onto a piece of pumpkin cardstock.

Adhere the entire card front panel to a white card base. 

Trim a piece of the Welcome Autumn 6x6 paper to approx. 4” square, then trim on an angle (per the sketch). Adhere to the foliage embossed card front.

Add a scrap piece of the same paper onto the interior left-hand side of the card base (I like to do this to use up my scraps).

Adhere a strip of the scalloped loop trim over the cut edge of the patterned paper.

Die cut the tag from a piece of white cardstock and emboss with the 3D Intertwine embossing folder.

Add the sage green twill ribbon with the baker’s twine bow at the top of the tag.

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the wreath image with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Die cut the wreath with the coordinating die (I also layered the image onto another die cut from white cardstock to give it more stability).

Ink the pumpkin image from the Seasonal Wreaths- Fall/Winter with Versafine Black Onyx ink onto another piece of white cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Watercolor the pumpkin image with distress inks and die cut with the coordinating die (I also layered this one onto another die cut from white cardstock).

De-static a piece of suede cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the sentiment from Welcome Fall with Versamark ink, apply white embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Die cut the sentiment panel with the Fishtail Sentiment Banners die, tuck under the wreath image, layer the die cut pumpkin image and mount the entire wreath onto the tag.

Adhere the tag to the card front with dimensional foam to finish off the card.

Layer a strip of sage green twill ribbon to the card front, wrapping the ends behind the panel.
