Such a great pairing, the beautiful papers in Gilded Autumn and the sentiment from Autumn Greetings. This is a card that can be used for Thanksgiving or for letting someone know you are thinking of them.

Card Base: Cut Cajun Craze 8 ½ X 11 paper in half widthwise. You now have two pieces 8 ½ X 5 ½ . Fold one of the pieces in half lengthwise for your card front. The card front now measures 4 ¼ X 5 ½.

Card Mat: Cut Very Vanilla paper 4 X 5 1/4

Card Front: Cut papers from Gilded Autumn paper pack;
Acorn print 2 ½ X 5 ¼
Kraft paper with brown splatters 3 X 5 ¼

Stamp Autumn Greetings sentiment in bottom right hand corner of Very Vanilla card mat.

Attach 3 X 5 ¼ splattered Kraft paper piece to the top of stamped Very Vanilla card mat.
Attach acorn print paper at top of Kraft paper, so ½” shows below acorn print. (If you don’t have a lot of the spattered Kraft paper print, you could cut a ½” strip instead of 3”. Attach the acorn paper to the top of the Vanilla card mat and attach the ½” strip under the acorn paper. It will look the same.)

Cut 6” of metallic ribbon, wrap ribbon around back of card front, lining the ribbon on paper at bottom of acorn print. Attach ribbon to back of card front.

Attach completed card front to card base.

That’s it; you have finished your card front. Wasn’t that easy? For the inside of your card, cut a piece of Very Vanilla 4 X 5 ¼. Stamp a sentiment or write a note before attaching this piece inside your card.
