Thanksgiving Cards Paper Pumpkin With Love & Gratitude September 2023 Alternates

I’m still in the modes of autumn/fall cards and finishing up older Paper Pumpkin kits, so I checked out what components I had left in this kit. I remember making several cards from the mini envelopes and part of the 3x3” cards previously, but I had the treat bags and many embellishments left. So I used Lost Lagoon for a card base and created multiples of the following card:


I used the top flap from the treat bags and overlapped it onto half of one of the  3x3” cards bases. Then I added the gold foil leaves and then the printed branch & leaves. Perhaps because I used the flap part of the treat bag with the gold trim on it along the top, I decided to follow the downward direction of the (former) flap to have the foliage cascade downwards….

The Happy Thanksgiving sentiment is from the very long ago retired Tiny Wishes stamp set! 

And below is how I stamped the inside of the card and the envelope. I used one of the stamps from the Splendid Day stamp set. But perhaps I should have cascaded the foliage from one of the corners instead to match the card front? So many ways to overthink things…LOL


Wishing you all a happy thankgiving whether you celebrate it in October (Canada) or November (USA).
