September's Paper Pumpkin Kit has had me creating like a madwoman! I have seen so many ideas from other demonstrators, and I just couldn't keep up with my brain as I was designing this week. Usually I create 4 alternate cards for a kit, but since this month's kit had so many pieces, and was geared towards both Thanksgiving and Halloween, I have created eight alternative cards and one bookmark. Today I will share the four Thanksgiving cards.
The first card was inspired by the birthday card my sister made for me using the Beautiful Autumn Bundle. I loved the diagonal spray of die cut pieces.
I used the little leaf stamp and a die cut flower, and another die cut to decorate the envelope.
The second card used a half inch strip of the scalloped edge from the cracker treat boxes to give a window box feel to the card. Add a stitched square using the Stitched Shapes Dies some die cuts and a bit of cardstock and you have this adorable card.
For a video tutorial on these cards see my Facebook Live here.
The next two cards are clean and simple. One card used the lacy die cut pieces and the leaf stamp (in Mossy Meadow, Cajun Craze, and Bumblebee). The scalloped circle was from the Layering Circles Dies and the plain circle was punched using the 1 1/2" punch.
The final card used the leaf die cuts showcased on stitched squares (from the Stitched Shapes Dies again) with a tiny knot of the white twine. The square below was Mossy Meadow, and that was layered on some Whisper White cardstock embossed with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder.
Hope you feel inspired by these cards. If so, please leave a comment and come back next week for more ideas!
