Double Twisted Easel Thanksgiving Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Brrr! It is cold in my area this morning! I am not ready for cold weather but maybe I will have more time to play with my Cricut. With Thankgiving Day almost here, I decided to make one more card. This is my play with the Double Twisted Easel card style. If you have not tried one of these cards, you can find the tutorial at Split Coast Stampers. The card starts with a 8" square of Kraft cardstock.

When folded the card will easily fit in a business sized envelope. I think it will be a pretty display for Thanksgiving. Patterned papers are K&Company. Solid papers are from scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Thanksgiving Table Decor- Cornucopia/mat is cut 3.50" wide. I cut a duplicate mat for the pilgrim hat. Mats are pop-dotted on card.

Autumn Celebrations - Pilgrim Hat is cut 2.75" wide.

Classroom Oct-Nov - Happy Thanksgiving is cut 4.25" wide. It is placed on hand cut mats and pop-dotted on the card. Gelly roll pen used on the turkey for a little detail.

Cuttlebug folder Swiss Dots is used on the hat and Houndstooth is used on the cornucopia. A few extra leaves are randomly placed on the base of card.

Autumn Pumpkin

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

 

Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. Where did this year go? I have been playing with the Cricut Explore for another Thanksgiving card. There are so many neat features on the machine that I have been wanting to try. This card uses the slice/weld features which is one of those new techniques for me. Card is 5" x 6 1/2" cream cardstock. I used papers from a K&Company pad.

Cricut Cartridges:

Pumpkin Carvings - Pumpkin 49 is cut 3.5" high. After adding a basic circle shape on the pumpkin to the size that looked ok, I used the slice feature. This cut the circle out of the pumpkin. I added a black out of the original pumpkin from the brown paper.

Wildcard - The word Autumn was sized to fit inside the open area yet touching in a couple of places so it could be welded to the pumpkin. 

Thanksgiving - Harvest Blessings was cut 4.22" wide x 1.62" high. I used only the word Blessings for this project.

Classroom Oct-Nov - Happy Thanksgiving is cut 4.50" wide. This is used inside the card.

 

For more interest to the pumpkin, I added Gelly Roll pen doodles and a pretty crinkle ribbon bow from Little Scrap Pieces which I won recently. Thank you so much Karen for the pretty ribbons! Turkey is pop-dotted on a piece of burlap.

Martha Stewart Swirling Lace edge punch is used on the brown paper.

Autumn Pumpkin

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is a gorgeous Autumn day in my area. Loving these cooler days we are having...not sure how long it will last. Inspires me to make another Fall card. Card is 5" x 6 1/2" cut from Recollections cream card stock. The patterned papers are K&Company paper pad..some left over from previous projects. I followed the instructions for the Folded Paper Frame at Split Coast Stampers. The frame begins with a 4 1/4 square of double sided patterned paper. Edges are cut with a corner punch. I do not have the name of that punch. I thought the frame would work well for my pumpkin!

Cricut Cartridges:

Autumn Celebrations - Pumpkin cut 2" wide.

Classroom - October-November - Leaf is cut 1.25" wide.

Gypsy Wanderings - Autumn is cut 3.75" wide.

Cuttlebug - Swiss Dots is used on the cream paper inside the folded frame.

I hand cut the corner papers of the card.

Challenges:

Cardz TV  - Ch 2 Fall icons --I used a pumpkin and leaves.

Die Cuttin Divas - Ch. 235 Anything Goes
