Thanksgiving

Cottage Wreaths Double Step

This month, the theme is a Color Challenge. Using Crumb Cake, Mango Melody, Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow, the Design Team has created some great projects that you will all want to see. We hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Here’s a video from the past with the directions to make this type of fun fold card.

Directions to make a Double Step Card Base

  1. Cut Cardstock (CS) at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” (14.9cm x 21cm)
    scored at 4-1/4” (10.5cm).
  2. Using Trimmer, with short side of CS at the top, put left edge of CS at 1”
    (2.5cm) and cut from 3-1/4” (8cm) down to 7-1/2” (18.5cm). Turn CS over
    and keep the same short side at the top. Cut on this side the same as you
    just did, so you end up with two parallel cuts.
  3. Turn the CS so the long side of CS is at the top and the cut lines are
    toward the right. Put the left edge of CS at 3-1/4” (10.5cm) and using score
    blade, score down to 1” (2.5cm). Shift left edge of CS over to 6-1/2” (16cm)
    and score down to 1” (2.5cm). Shift left edge of CS over to 7-1/2” (18.5cm)
    and score down to 1” (2.5cm). Turn CS over so the other long side is at the
    top and repeat the directions scoring as you just did on the other side.
  4. Keep the long side of CS at the top and put the left edge of CS at 4-1/4”
    (10.5cm) and score from 1” (2.5cm) down to 4-1/2” (12.4cm).

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on November 9th when the theme will be Home for the Holidays.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

I love the fall season and look forward every year to hosting my big family Thanksgiving celebration. It’s bigger every other year when all the married cousins and my married kids (Sean & Amy) can be here too. As I prepare for Thanksgiving, I start by figuring out what my Thanksgiving invitation will be. I do send invitations to everyone in the mail every year. I think they look forward to it, at least I hope so. Here’s one of my possibilities for this year. What do you think?

The Time of Giving Bundle paired with the Tailor Made Tags dies made this card fun and easy to make. The Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder is also a favorite of mine. The colors I chose were Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, and Mossy Meadow. The green leaves were cut from the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper (DSP) using the die leaves in the Time of Giving Bundle. I used a Water Painter and ink refills to make blotchy colors mimicking the colors of the Beauty of the Earth Paper, for all the leaves that have more than just green in them. I also added Early Espresso ink to the Linen thread before I tied the thread on the tags. To finish it off, I sprinkled some Artistry Blooms Adhesive Backed Sequins on the card.
