hey guys it's Kara from www.iStampin.com. thanks for joining me today today I have
this absolutely beautiful Thanksgiving thankful card to show you I wish y'all
could see it in person it is just it is probably one of the prettiest cards I
have ever made and I have to give credit to I don't know her name I'll have to
find it but she's a Stampin Up demonstrator in Canada I saw this on
Pinterest and I more or less cased it but it is just stunning the dimension I
don't know if y'all will be able to lips there we go the dimension on this card
is amazing and but it's just absolutely beautiful and it's just so pretty it's
using the Gourd Goodness stamp set that you can find in our holiday catalog it's
on page 50 along with the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper collection
that you can page that you can find on page 49 this is part of the Painted
Autumn Suite. this paper is just stunning I think I'll have to get another package
before before Thanksgiving but I wanted to show you how I made this this is just
a note card size card so it's a five and a half three and a half by five and
here's all the supplies that you will need to make this so here's the Gourd
Goodness stamp set on the inks the the nature do they call that the Touches of
Nature Elements so I'll have all this posted on my blog along with the pdf
instruction sheet so for any reason if you if I go too fast you can always
refer to today's blog post and you can find all the information there so why
don't we get started and I really hope you enjoy this card as much as I did
making it alright so I've got everything that
we're going to need right here in my little packet so the first thing that
I've done is I have cut a piece of early espresso cardstock seven inches by five
and we're going to score this at three and a half
and I'm using our Simply Scored Scoring Tool so three and a half and when we do
that that makes our note card size card so we can fold this and furnish the
score line with our bone folder the next thing I've done is cut a piece of the
painted autumn designer series paper this measures three and three quarters
by four and seven eighths and I just wanted just a tiny little border showing
of the Early Espresso so it's just gonna look like that so we can go ahead and
attach that with some SNAIL and this collection is one of the papers that's
on sale so during the month of October when you purchase three of these
select designer series paper collections that are on sale you can get
one free so this is one of them alright so the next thing that I've done is cut
another piece of the designer series paper in the same collection so this is
the Early Espresso and Very Vanilla chevron pattern you can see that's what
it looks like on the back I've cut this an inch wide and three and three-eighths
inches long it matches perfectly the same width of this designer series paper
we're gonna use this in just a second but why don't we go ahead and do our
stamping at this off to the side the two colors that you will need for today's
project is Tangerine Tango and Garden Green and I'm pulling these colors from
the designer series paper you're also going to need the following stamps
you're going to need this stamp right here and then really whichever of the
tops that you prefer I went with this little short guy right here and then
we're going to use the why thank you as our sentiment so got these already up
on blocks and I wanted to show you I do recommend using our Stampin Pierce mat
this image I wanted to show you the impression that I got the first time
that I stamped this when I was making my sample card I was just doing some
experimenting and this is what it looked like when I stamped at the very first
time and I'm not sure if it's gonna come across on video but it's very splotchy
and not it's not unusual with photopolymer stamps these stamps is
sometimes you know especially with this almost like a solid image like this
house like a clear coating on it so what I like to do is to take an
eraser I just used my well first all I cleaned it and then I just use this an
adhesive remover and I just ran over it quite a few times and then washed it or
cleaned it again and then I was able to get a better impression with with this
with this card so if you ever have issues with your photopolymer stamps
kind of being spotted like that give that little tip a try and I'm
almost a hundred percent positive that your results will be satisfactory all
right so I'm inking this up he's in tangerine tango I'm gonna stamp this
again that was a little it's a little splotchy err than I was expecting so I
went ahead and cleaned my stamp really well and let's see if we get a better
impression this time okay that's a lot better okay so now I'm going to do the
stems and I've chosen to stamp them in garden green and I'm just going to come
right above the pumpkin the pumpkins I should say and with the photopolymer I
was able to stamp those perfectly okay so weird oh and you know what let's go
ahead and stamp our sentiment and both of these are just scratched pieces of
very vanilla card stock I just keep it like a little been laying around so I
just grabbed scraps for stuff like this okay and then we're gonna stamp the
white thank you and garden green and I'm just gonna cut this out by hand okay
just in a thin strip I'm also gonna do some fussy cutting and you're gonna
wonder what am i up to I did actually cut it a card yesterday and again today
but this is actually really easy you know images like this or you know fairly
easy to cut out most important thing is to have a sharp pair of scissors I like
to use our paper snips and when you fussy cut the most that the other
important thing to do is to turn the paper and not the scissors if you turn
the paper and keep the scissors still for the most part you should get good
results so let me go ahead and cut this out and then we'll move on to the next
step
okay I try my best to keep the border somewhat even you can see some of the
borders are a little bit thicker so you can always go back and you know kind of
make them even if that doesn't bother you then maybe this step you can just
eliminate but I'm gonna try to make it even all the way around I think that's
good I'm not gonna do anymore I may mess it up and then this I'm just gonna cut
it out just with my scissors just straight on I just want this to be a
thin banner or not a banner but just a thin little piece
so like so and it looks like I need a straighten this up just a tad
there we go okay and I'm just gonna use a mini glue dot to adhere this on to the
pumpkin and this just kind of hangs over just a little bit or hangs off I should
say something like that okay all right now the next item that we're going to do
is I have taken the five-eighths inch burlap ribbon which you can also find in
our holiday catalog it's in this painted autumn sweet as well it's right here on
page 49 what I've done let's see how long is this this is about seven inches
long and what I'm going to do is fold it like this to make like a little ruffle
and I know we no longer have our handheld stapler but that's what I used
to staple the ribbon together so if you don't have this just use a regular
stapler and I think you should be good so the way I did this is I cut on both
ends at an angle and I'm just gonna fold it over and each of these is gonna look
different so I'm just folding it over and I'm stapling it kind of at the top
and I'm just gonna come and do this again and I think you know as I do this
more I'm getting a little bit better about it so you can kind of see like
here how I did it this one I think it's going to be spaced a little bit better
just because I'm more familiar with what I'm doing
it's really easy because this ribbon is really easy to work with okay and then
one last time or actually you know what I think I'm just let me do one let me
see if I can do like a really small one there we go
now this is going to make the card a little bulky so that's where the card
kind of gets its bulk from but don't be afraid of that because it really really
really makes it pretty okay and so we can kind of manipulate this ribbon
because it's you know as you can see it kind of curls up but I'm gonna I want to
make it straight and you can use tear and tape adhesive if you'd like I'm
going to use our multi-purpose liquid glue so you do have to let it dry and
I'm gonna put quite a bit down here because I really want it to grab and so
what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna let it sit you know probably for a good you
know 10-15 minutes but this should really let it set up and the other thing
I'm going to do to make sure that this doesn't move around is I'm gonna put
quite a few acrylic blocks on top of this so just put something heavy down on
it where it will set up and then like I said you know probably for a good 10 15
minutes and then we'll come back and finish the card alright so that should
be plenty of time so it may still be a little bit wet but we can move forward
so what we're gonna do next is we're gonna build up this piece of designer
series paper because this is bulky we don't want to just attach it here
because this will be kind of floppy so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna use our
foam adhesive strips and I'm just going to put adhesive on both sides and then
just at the top and I found this to be an ideal adhesive for this just because
I feel like this is just so it just gives the the strip just a really nice
base you can use your stampin dimensionals but like I said I just
really like how this just gives it it can you know just a really strong base
like all the way across makes sense I don't know I kind of feel
like I'm rambling okay and then just one more piece
okay so now what we can do is just go and take off the backing and this should
be about the same height as the ribbon and we're just going to come in here and
kind of hide you know try to hide the the staples if the staples show it's
it's okay so it's gonna look something like that
make sure it's straight across that looks good okay and then what we're
going to do next is we're going to use the touches of nature element and I'm
going to use this piece right here and you can see how it's you know it really
pretty wood stain on the front but on the back it's white and so that's the
color that's what I want to show and I'm gonna go ahead and use our multi-purpose
glue again and I'm just gonna put a couple of dots just on a few places
because this is gonna kind of hang off and I'm gonna put it about right there
and see I move this over just a tad and with the glue being wet you're able to
move this around and the glue does dry clear which is nice okay that looks
about right okay the next thing you're gonna do is just give one of our
delicate white doilies um I have you know very rarely do I use an entire one
or entire doily so I always like keep the little scraps and so this is perfect
so I'm just going to cut off just this little part of it and I'm going to use
some snail and then I'm going to attach the doily at the bottom and this just
gives this piece just a little bit of interest so I'm going to line it up on
my grid mat and then just come in here and just
grab it just like so okay and then that's just gonna go right about there
but what we need to do next is we need to build up this part of the die-cut or
this part of the pumpkin and again you can use the foam adhesive strips but
for this I find it easier to use stampin dimensionals so what I'm going to do is
I'm going to put three layers of dimensionals so two more on top of right
here and that should be high enough to be at the same height as this part of
our card so like I said at the beginning it is a quite dimensional card but it is
so pretty I hope I would love to know if y'all try this and tell me what you
think because I just that just the color combination is just everything about
this card is just so pretty in person and I hope that it translates on video
okay so you can see how thick that is so let me make sure that's if that looks
good and now what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna put a little bit of glue
right here just to make sure that this doesn't move just because this cart is
so thick I just don't want it to have the possibility of they've fallen apart
okay and there we have it it is all done so let me bring in my
first cards that you can see it's you know each card is gonna be a little bit
different especially with the ribbon the little ruffles that you make and how you
position everything but just stunning I this this just makes me so happy I just
love the chocolate brown the early espresso color the garden green the
tangerine tango everything about it just makes me so happy so again that was
