Welcome to October! I think this is when Fall really begins. Therefore, today’s card is for Thanksgiving, with Fall colors and stitched leaves.

Stitched Thanksgiving

The stitched leaves were easy to create with the 6″ X 4 3/4″ Stitched Greenery Die, which I used on Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/2″ X 2 1/2″. It worked perfectly on the envelope flap also; our Basic White Medium Envelope, shown in the picture above.

I used four ink colors and Blending Brushes to color the stitched leaves. From left to right: Pear Pizzazz, Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie, and Cinnamon Cider. Those colors just sound like Fall, don’t they?

Next, I used Word Wishes Dies to cut “Happy Thanksgiving” from Cork Specialty Paper. And, I cut the words two more times from Crumb Cake Cardstock to layer the words for thickness.

Before gluing the words to the Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I added more vertical, stitching with that unusual Stitched Leaves Die.

Prior to gluing the colored, stitched leaves to the card base, I added Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon to the bottom with Tear & Tape. It was just the right width, 1/4″!

The final touch was dotting the “i” in “Thanksgiving with Metallic Pearls.
