Thankful for You Card

Thankful for You Card

I was just getting ready to transition from making fall-themed cards to getting ready for the Christmas holiday. But then, I took Stampin’ Up!’s first online class. (Which, by the way is still available. Get more information by clicking here.)

During this class, Stampin’ Up! designers and creators shared not only four handmade greeting cards, but also lots of helpful tips and tricks. One of the cards inspired today’s creation. I loved the layout and some of the tips and tricks, so I created my own version.

This thankful for you card definitely uses an awesome combination of Stampin’ Up! products, including: The Gathering Moments Stamp Set, the Traditional Labels Dies, and the Beautiful Motifs Dies.

Measurements and Details

  • Cajun Craze cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
  • Arranged three stamps from the Gathering Moments Stamp Set on block and stamped the background with Cajun Craze ink. Filled in with other stamps.
  • Gathering Together 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper: two strips, one measuring 5 1/2 x 3/4 and the other 4 3/4 x 3/4
  • Traditional Labels Die cut with Early Espresso cardstock. See how the die cut edges allow you to slip the strip of DSP through it?
  • Die cuts from Beautiful Motifs Dies cut with Gold Foil and Earthen Toned Metallic 12 x 12 Specialty Paper.
  • Traditional Labels Die cut with Basic Beige cardstock and stamped with sentiment from Gathering Moments Stamp Set.
  • Traditional Sparkling Sequins

Thanksgiving Baby Wipe Technique

Welcome to Team Stamp It’s Blog Hop. Thanks so much for joining us! This month, we feature cards and projects showcasing a Thanksgiving and fall theme. Be sure to to visit all of the participating blogs. Leave a comment on each for your chance to win the Pop-Up Pals Kit.

Thanksgiving Baby Wipe Technique

When I think of Thanksgiving and fall, I think of the gorgeous fall colors as the leaves change. I have vivid memories of this while growing up in North Dakota and living in Minnesota and Nebraska. With today’s card, I try to re-create that with the baby wipe technique. Be sure to watch the video below as I demonstrate how to achieve this fun look.

In addition, I’ll show you how I created the large leaf image that I stamped with. In summary, I used the large maple leaf die cut from Stampin’ Up!’s Gathering Moments Dies to make my own “stamp” with adhesive foam sheets.

Click here to see another post using the baby wipe technique.

Details and Measurements

  • Cherry Cobbler cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4.
  • Cherry Cobbler cardstock panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4.
  • Very Vanilla cardstock panel measuring 3 3/4 x 3 1/4
  • Gathering Together 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper piece measuring 3/4 x 3 3/4
  • “Ink pad” created with Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, and Old Olive ink refills. Drop inks onto baby wipes, being sure to cover an area large enough for the stamp. Give the ink a minute to spread throughout the wipe so there aren’t any blank spots.
  • Panel embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder
  • Sentiment from Choose Happy stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink onto label die cut with Textured Notes Dies.
  • Linen Thread
  • Antique Pearls colored with Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends
