How fun - this month our Global Share Fair presenters are CASEing the tutorial cards from our Global Share Fair in January 2021 and giving them a Holiday twist! I chose to case this beautiful card from Sandra Roberts - giving it a Thankful Flare for the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday! This card was so cheery and summery - so let's see how I can switch it up.
So what do you think of the card below - same fold - same layout - same decorated envelope - completely different look! Right?!?
Taking the base to a dark Evening Evergreen from the red was my first step - and using darker tones, include the cork DSP really made a difference -
I used the Sparkle of the Season set and coordinating dies - adding a sentiment and some of the pinecones to the inside of the card.
Next I stamped my outside sentiment "GRATEFUL" on a little strip of Basic White, flagged the end and using a bone folder made this curvy banner. I added two dimensionals under the upper curve to help it keep it's shape and glue dots at the lower points to secure it.
Next I stamped and die-cut branches, pinecones and a little pumpkin to finish off my wreath! As well as some of the metallic dots (I colored them with my Evening Evergreen blend so they would match) to add just a touch of whimsy.
Finally I finished off the envelope just like Sandra did with a strip of cardstock (crumb cake) and a strip of DSP - in my case the cork; and I added the cork DSP to the envelope flap. I probably would not send this through the mail, as the cork has a lot of dimension and might get torn off the envelope - but for hand-giving - it is such a pretty card.

Maureen I love how you changed the card up. I love your card. Thanks for sharing.
A completely different look and a great fall card. The person who gets this hand-delivered card will be thrilled!
Isn’t that Cork DSP great to work with? Your fall card is delightful.
Yet again, beautiful card and so different to the original beautiful card.
Great card! You totally changed the look from summery feel to fall. Thanks for sharing!
It is amazing how changing paper can change the season of a card. This is beautiful for autumn
Thanks for the tip on using the Blends to color the metallic dots. It really adds a nice detail.
