Good Morning! Welcome to the Inkin’ Krew Monthly Blog Hop! Our talented team has created projects this month with the theme of Give Thanks. I’ve used the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness stamp bundle to make a card with the wonderful wheelbarrow filled with festive fall harvest foods placed against a background of embossed card stock and Plaid Tidings designer series paper.

I started by embossing a panel of Sahara Sand with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder and adhering a strip of Plaid Tidings designer series paper across the middle. I adhered a strip of Bumblebee 6″ x 6″ wood grained designer series paper on top of the Plaid Tidings paper and adhered it all to a Sahara Sand mat. Then I wrapped a piece of copper ribbon around it and tied a knot on the side. I adhered the panel to the front of a Pretty Peacock card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the wheelbarrow from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness photopolymer stamp set in Cinnamon Cider ink on a Cinnamon Cider panel and cut it out with the coordinating die. I cut out the wheel from copper foil and adhered it to the back and punched a small dot from the copper foil to cover the axel.

I stamped the harvest foods stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a Whisper White panel. I cut it out with the coordinating die and colored it with Stampin’ Blends – Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Poppy Parade, Soft Suede, Calypso Coral, Mossy Meadow and Granny Apple Green.

I adhered the harvest foods to the wheelbarrow with a little liquid glue and popped the entire piece on the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the Happy Thanksgiving sentiment from the Banner Year photopolymer stamp set in Cajun Craze ink on a Whisper White panel. I stamped the harvest foods from the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness stamp set in the lower corner in Sahara Sand ink after stamping off and adhered a strip of Plaid Tidings DSP to the bottom before adhering it to the inside of the card.

Isn’t the Stampin’ Up! Autumn Goodness wheelbarrow the cutest? And it’s great that there are lots stamps and dies that go with it beautifully! And don’t forget that the Plaid Tidings designer series paper is on sale at 15% discount during October! Yay!!

Akiko, your coloring is perfect. I really like how you created the wheelbarrow too. I haven’t quite figured out how to use the two dies for it.
Thank you Karen! I just use the outline die to cut it out, and choose a wheel to attach to the front.😊
Oh, that’s beautiful Akiko! The plaid is perfect with your fall images. Love the wheelbarrow with the fall goodies in it too! 🙂
Thank you Amy!!😊
Your plaid makes me smile but it was that simple, sweet knot of the ribbon that grabbed my eye. It’s those special touches you add! TFS.
