Hey Stamp & Scrapbook Expo friends and fans, Becki here to share with you a Thanksgiving card that I created with a stamp and die set from our Latest & Greatest Stamping workshops.
If you attended one of our Latest & Greatest Stamping workshops at our last few shows, you may have received this adorable Thanksgiving stamp and die set from Hampton Art. When this stamp set landed on my doorstep I was thrilled and knew it would be perfect for creating Thanksgiving cards. 
The first thing I did when creating this card was to stamp the leaf images and the greeting with Versamark ink on kraft cardstock. After stamping, I added gold embossing powder. When I finished the heat embossing I used the coordinating die set to cut the leaves out. 
To finish the leaves, I did a little bit of painting with water colors. I love water coloring after heat embossing because the embossed lines keep the water color in place. I love crafting projects that I can’t mess up 😉 
The rest of the card came together very quickly. The patterned paper on this card is from the Hello Fall collection from Carta Bella Paper. To add a little bit of dimension and texture I tied a bow around the card and added a button to the center of the bow. 
On top of the ribbon I adhered the gold embossed sentiment with a very strong liquid adhesive. 
I am thrilled with how this card came together. I can’t wait to share this card with my family on Thanksgiving. I will be using this card as a “thank you” to my sister-in-law for hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year. I can’t believe Thanksgiving is one week from today! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I can’t wait! What is your favorite holiday? What crafting projects do you always do for your favorite holiday?
Thank you for stopping by the Stamp & Scrapbook Expo blog. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
This is a very pretty card using all of the techniques that I like. I wish I had taken this class also. Can’t wait until the 2018 Stamp & Scrapbook Expo!
Thank you, Leanna! We missed having you in our Latest & Greatest workshops. We’d love to have you join us in 2018! ~Becki
I love autumn leaves on cards. This is a beauty!
Thank you, I think the leaves turned out so beautiful! Thank you for stopping by the Stamp & Scrapbook Expo blog. ~Becki
