Hi creative and crafty friends! I’m up today on The Greetery Blog! It’s time for Thanksgiving, all things Autumn and cozy! Hard for me to choose if I love October or November more! But Thanksgiving is coming FAST! Have you received your Greetery Christmas supplies yet? Hasn’t this holiday release been so amazing?! I loved it so much! Today I’m taking a moment to share a warm and colorful Thanksgiving card made with a mix of old and new supplies. My card features the brand new Market Tote Mini – turned into a 3D card instead of a treat box! I also used lots of Autumn themed Greetery stamps and dies…
My finished card is an A2 kraft card base. I die cut the Postal Frame Die from cream cardstock and then inked just the top third of that piece using Distress Inks and blending brushes. I went to town die cutting leaves and pumpkins and mushrooms using the following dies: Autumn Harvest, Garden Toadstools and Curio Autumn! I used red, orange, yellow and green – all the Autumnal tones. I’m giving you another option for your new Market Tote!

Here’s a good side view to see the tote and all the goodies inside. This card is a thick one! Ha. You know me, once I get started I can’t stop myself!

I gently ink shaded all the die cut pieces using matching Distress Inks and then I generously splattered everything with gold metallic paint for that golden fall glow….
To assemble the tote I die cut only one tote piece (the mini tote) and then trimmed off the bottom to about 1/4 inch. Then I stacked three pieces of foam tape in the center of the tote so that when I placed it on the card it would bow out. I used liquid glue to glue down each side of the tote onto the card. After the tote was mounted, I tucked in the leaves and foliage into the top! A tiny tag (love) comes with the Market Tote Mini die! One little pumpkin for good measure. It is giving me Cornucopia vibes!
