It’s Saturday and time for the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop! Our design team theme is featuring our “Favorite Holiday Catalog Product” this week! You KNOW that is hard, right? SOOO many great items in the holiday catalog, it was SO hard to just choose one. So, I went with my first instinct (and probably everyone else will, too!) and used Painted Harvest. It is the first set that I knew I absolutely would be purchasing.
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Pumpkin Pie Cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded to form the base card.
- Two 1 x 4 pieces of Painted Autumn Designer Paper were added to each side of the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Very Vanilla cardstock.
- A 1/2 x 5 strip of the coordinating Espresso pattern DSP was added across the top section.
- One sunflower was directly stamped on the Very Vanilla cardstock layer with Crushed Curry Ink for the solid background and Pumpkin Pie for the top layer. Early Espresso Ink was stamped off for the center of the flower, the the dotted image was full-strength.
- A second flower was stamped the same on scrap Very Vanilla cardstock, then hand-cut and popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The leaves background was stamped off Garden Green, then the veins were full-strength Garden Green Ink. They were punched with the Leaf Punch and tucked under the popped-up flower.
- The thankful greeting was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on scrap Very Vanilla, then punched with the Everyday Label Punch and sponged around the edges with Pumpkin Pie Ink and tucked under the sunflower.
- Some Linen Thread was double tied in a bow and added to the sunflower with a Mini Glue Dot.
This set makes it SO easy to make nice looking cards! As I said, I’ll show off the other two versions later next week!
