Thanksgiving Cards | Hello Harvest
Fall is one of my favorite times of the year and while it certainly doesn’t feel like fall, it’s a great time to plan your fall cards. This pumpkin card uses the new Mini Catalog Suite called Rustic Harvest (pages 48-49).
The dies that coordinate with stamp set are a champ! Not only do they die cut, some of the images leave beautiful embossed texture. I’ve highlighted the pieces by adding ink for dimension.
The coordinating Rustic Harvest 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper includes 12 sheets; 2 each of 6 double-sided designs full of rich, fall colors. Learn how to achieve easy two-toned looks on your images in today’s video. You’ll be amazed what a Sponge Dauber can do!
Thanksgiving Cards | Splendid Thoughts
The Splendid Day Suite Collection (pages 64-65) in the Mini Catalog is getting rave reviews. Perhaps it’s the stunning Splendid Day 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Papers with their white and foil accents.
The images in the stamp set include both outline and solid images which allows this set to play double-duty. Those that love to color can do so and those that love a quick “fill” can use the solid coordinating image. The images aren’t intended to fill the outline perfectly allowing for a light and airy feeling them.
Thanksgiving Cards | About Squirrels
The Rustic Harvest Designer Paper is used again for this adorable squirrel card. This time I opted to add various colors to the black and white images using Blending Brushes.
Achieve easy dimension on this image by stamping the outline using Memento ink. Use the squirrel’s coordinating ‘fill’ image in Cajun Craze. I did stamp off one layer of ink so it was lighter. The remaining areas I filled with the Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers.
The Timber 3D Embossing Folder adds the perfect outdoor touch which is emphasized by the Rustic Metallic Dots.

Pam this stamp set bundle is awesome!! This is such an easy one to do and can be used for any style or occasion!! Thank you for stopping by!!
I have searched and searched through this great tutorial and layout, but you never divulge the source of the die you used for the pumpkin! Would you be willing to tell? I teach a class at our local Senior Center, and I’m constantly under the gun to change it up every week. Please, please, please?
Mary thank you so much for watching!! The dies I show is where that pumpkin comes from: The Rustic Pumpkin Dies! They are also part of the Hello Harvest Bundle. Check it out here:
