Hello! Welcome back to my blog. November is upon us. It is the month of Thanksgiving, thus, I created a card using Kat Scrappiness products with this theme in mind.
I started off with stamping the leaves from the KS Thanksgiving Gnome stamp set on different fall-colored cardstocks. I prepped the area with an anti-static tool to get it ready for heat embossing. I stamped the leaves using Versamark ink. I poured Ranger Copper embossing ink over the sticky ink, then heat set it. I die cut the leaves using the coordinating die. After I have embossed a good number of leaves, I set this aside to work on the focal point of the card, which is the sentiment.
I die cut the KS Thank You Shadow Sentiment craft die on cream cardstock. I die cut another piece on dark gray cardstock. This die set comes with a shadow die for the sentiment. I did not use the shadow die on my card. Instead, I used the dark gray thank you die cut as the shadow for the cream die cut piece. I adhered the gray sentiment die cut on the back of the cream sentiment die cut, slightly off setting it to create the shadow. I placed something heavy on top of it while the glue dries.
I weaved stitched strips die cut using the skinniest die from the KS A2 Stitched Strips Craft Dies. I die cut a kraft cardstock using a die from the KS Never Ending Square Craft Dies. I spritz Tim Holtz Distress Stain in Ground Expresso and Rusty Hinge on this kraft panel. I dried the splatters with a heat tool. I trimmed 1/2 an inch off a side to make the square a rectangle. I adhered the weaved kraft strips on this panel. I adhered the die cut sentiment on top. I trimmed off some of the strips sticking out of the panel. I adhered this to a dark brown cardstock cut at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".
I arranged the embossed leaves on each corner of the panel. Once I am happy with the arrangement, I adhered the leaves to the panel.
I hope you like today's project. Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
