This Thanksgiving Card is my own design using Stampin’ Up’s September 2023 Paper Pumpkin supplies.

Card is 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ and folded top down. Pumpkins, leaves and sentiment are raised up on dimensionals.

Stampin’ Up materials used:

September 2023 Paper Pumpkin materials; Basics 3D Embossing Folder #161598; Lost Lagoon Ink #136926

My own design created using Stampin’ Up’s Pansy Patch Stamps #154999 and Dies #155680 which were cut and mounted to card stock cut with Countryside Corners Dies #161471 and embossed with Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder #152725.

The Sentiment mount is created by using the Double Oval Punch #154242 and layered white on light purple. The sentiment comes from the Speedy Recovery stamp #159024.

The combination was mounted on light purple card stock cut to fit on a white card base 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ to create a cheerful left-side fold card.

The weight of two pennies placed slightly below the center of the hourglass provides the spinning motion of the hourglass from side to side as the card is moved around. This card was made using the standard 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ card and folded top down.

The inspiration for this card was provided by StampwithTami.com and their design for the Penny Spinner Card.

This adorable card is inspired by the Gatefold style card as demonstrated in Linda Heller’s YouTube video https://youtu.be/ut3dYMfzlCY?si=NVoDADZ8rqgxBpHt only designed in the portrait format. This card features a center fold opening. The card is cut 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ and scored on both of the 8-1/2″ sides at 2-1/8″ to create the center opening of the card.

The following Stampin’ Up! tools were used:
All About Autumn Designer Series paper #162178
Heartfelt Hexagon Stamp Set #162889
Heartfelt Hexagon Punch #162888
Pure Magic Stamp set #158961

This particular card is my own design based on other cards made by Stampin’ Up demonstrators that have a similar layout.

Using the materials and tools I have on hand to create the card; this attractive card has an 18th century delicate floral charm about it. The designer series paper is cut on the angle and separated by the scalloped edge from the largest of the Scalloped Countours Dies #155560 in the set. The combination is then mounted on standard white cardstock cut 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to provide a left side fold card. The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles stamp set #158701 and raised on dimensionals then embellished with matching green embroidery yarn tied as a bow.

This card is my own design. The card base is cut 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″. Left side fold.

The layered look is achieved using the following Stampin’ Up! tools:

Sentiment is from Courage and Faith #161500. The All About Autumn Designer Series Paper #162178 is cut using the Gorgeous Garden Dies #161471. The Timber 3D Embossing #156406 embellishes the frame around the sentiment which is cut using the Countryside Corners Dies #161471.

This type of fold is called an Easel fold and my card’s design was inspired by this fold shown in Lynn Dunn, Stamptastic Designs YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/L637gcGR_Eo

A multi-layered card effect, the stamp and sentiment come from Stampin’ Up’s Peace to You #159776. They are cut out and mounted on light blue card stock cut 1/8″ wider than the stamp image. That is mounted with dimensionals on white card stock, then dark blue card stock all mounted on light blue easel fold which is also mounted on an additional white easel card fold. The sentiment is raised with dimensionals so card sits like an easel when open. With all the layered card stock, it does create a beautifully hefty and dramatic card.

This unique design is called a Bridge fold and it stands up for display. The card design shown was inspired by Elaine’s Creations YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/DZULHx4edhE.

Stampin’ Up’s Beautiful Balloons stamps #161450 and Dies #161456 were used throughout. One sentiment comes from the balloons bundle and the other from Happiness Abounds #159238. A very happy birthday card.
