It’s Saturday and I have a simple card for you! I know it looks complicated, but it really isn’t. I was thinking of all the people in my life that I am blessed to know, and this card came together. I could make a list of all the people I could send this card to, but where do you draw the line and say, that’s everyone? I am truly blessed! I hope you can say the same. Marilyn here with another card.

To make the card base, I cut a piece of Early Espresso cardstock to 5½” x 8½” on my Paper Trimmer, scored and folded at 4¼” and 2⅛”. I cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to 4″ x 5¼”. I cut a piece of the Autumn Toile DSP to 4″ x 5¼”. I cut this in half to two pieces at 2 x 5¼”.

With my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I die cut the arch with the 3″ base from Everyday Arches dies out of Very Vanilla cardstock. I cut the next larger arch from Mossy Meadow cardstock. From Mossy Meadow cardstock, I also die cut two of the pumpkin vines from the Beautiful Pumpkins bundle.

On the vanilla arch with Cajun Craze ink, I stamped the detail image of the larger pumpkin from the Beautiful Pumpkins stamp set in the bundle. I found it easier to line up when I stamped the darker detailed image first.

Next, I stamped the more solid image with Cajun Craze ink after stamping off once first.

I stamped the stem with Mossy Meadow ink. I love how realistic the pumpkin looks!

With Early Espresso ink, I stamped Blessed to have you in my life from the Amber Autumn stamp set.

I adhered this to my Mossy Meadow arch acting as a matte using my favorite adhesive (Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Stampin’ Seal).

Now on to the card base. I folded the card in half and burnished with my Bone Folder. To make the Z fold, I folded the flap back on the 2⅛” score line.

I adhered the vanilla piece to the inside of the card.

I adhered the right-side piece of DSP to the vanilla inside piece. This should line up with the fold.

I adhered the left-side piece of DSP to the flap. It should line up with the already adhered DSP for a continuous look.

To adhere the focal image, I applied adhesive to the portion that overlaps the left side of the card. I flipped my piece over so I knew where to put the glue.

I adhered the pumpkin vines to my card. I used tiny dots of glue, but you could add Adhesive Sheets to the Mossy Meadow cardstock before running it through your die cut machine. I didn’t think of it until after I’d already cut out the vines. To add a little shine to my card, I added three Low Profile Dots.

I hope you liked this card!
