Four Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie Cards

I wanted to make some Thanksgiving cards so I hit Pinterest and found this Inspiration. I ended up making Four total and even got them in the mail today, Three to Alivia's Teachers that she really likes and One to a family member.

I am using some Circle, Scallop Circle, and Square dies from my stash - not sure the company.
The square die has some stitching line that I thought were cool.

I used Pumpkin Pie from Stampin Up and Gingersnap from the Stamps of Life.
I cut out a slice after using Tombow Mono Liquid glue to adhere them.

Some silver card stock from Tonic for the Plates.
Wood grain pattern paper from Elle's Studio - Thankful pack.

I am going to use Chocolate Chip card stock from Stampin Up as my card base.
Extra pattern paper for the inside.
Waffle Flower A2 layering dies to cut out my panels.
the Stamps of Life Powder Sugar card stock for the inside.
Cajun Craze as a layer for the front from Stampin Up.

Here is how my layout is looking.

Happy Thanksgiving came from the Stamps of Life - tomturkey2stamp.
Chocolate Chip ink and Hampton Art Stamp Press.

How I folded the Stand Up card base.
Nice Tight Creases help.

I am using some double sided tape and Tombow Mono Liquid glue.
This is a stitched layer die that came with the card base.

Only glue on half of the Snowflake.

So when it stands up half is attached.
And when it is flat it wont attach to the back.
I am using Sticky Tape in the middle to hold on to some Crinkle Seam Binding.
I purchased a variety of colors from an Etsy Seller.

The Holiday Wishes sentiment die and shadow also came from the Stamps of Life.
I added some Stampin Up foam to the back of the Holiday Wishes sentiment.

Christmas Light Fold-it for a Swap Card

 Here is my second card for the Final Swap of the year.

I used the Christmas Light Shaped Fold-it Card from the Stamps of Life. This was my inspiration card.

I am using Artichoke and Green Apple card stock from the Stamps of Life for one of them.
The Christmas Light Fold-it card.

I was trying to decided between Gingersnap or Twig.
I went with Twig and will use this for the base of the card as well.

Twig cut out with the main / shadow type layer.

I made card bases with Vanilla using the same main / shadow layer.

I am also making a Strawberry and Cranberry version as well.
One for my stash and one for my Swap Partner.

Using Taylored Expressions Blending brushes to add some dimension.
It gives the light a rounded look.

Double sided tape on the back before adding string.

Anouther piece over the string for extra security.
Stampin Up foam to give some dimension.

I also used a My Favorite Things stitched banner.
The sentiments came from the Stamps of Life - lights4Christmas.

Kraft envelopes from Hobby Lobby,
Cordinating ink to match.

I also inked the banner very lightly with Twig ink.
