Thanksgiving Place Card and Greeting Card

Craft· Handmade Gifts· Holidays· Paper

Thanksgiving Place Card The Holiday season is upon us.  Which means lots of parties and lots of food.  Thanksgiving is the ultimate foodie holiday!  I wanted to show you a pretty rustic place card that doubles as a greeting card.  As many of you know I LOVE creating with paper and what better way then by making a holiday card!

This place card/greeting card took me about 30 minutes to make.  I did use several techniques and tools to make this card.  I just love pairing rustic with sophisticated.  It really shines with all the add gold details.

Material I used:

First I started by making a 4 x 4 card out of white cardstock.  Then I took a piece of brown cardstock and placed it into my wood grain embossing folder and ran it through the embossing machine.

Next I used my Cricut machine using the Doodlebug Charm cartridge to cut a 3 inch leaf using white cardstock.  Then I stamped the cutout leaf with a burnt orange color ink pad.

Then I took a artificial white feather and spray painted the tip using a can of metallic gold spray paint.

After the leaf and feather had time to dry, I adhered them to the top of the brown cardstock using adhesive tape.

Next I cut a small piece of white cardstock to use for the placement of the name.  I add two small eyelets to each side of the paper using a eyelet kit.  Then I wrapped some gold twine through the eyelets.

I add some orange ribbon and secured the ribbon and twine to the back of the wood grain embossed brown paper with adhesive tape.

I adhered the brown cardstock to the white cardstock then added a simple message inside the card.

I love all the different elements to this card.  So simple yet it makes a statement.  All the gold touches really makes this card shine.

    Such a clever dual purpose turkey! My fav feature is the wood grain embossing. Love it! I am visiting via Lovely Ladies Linky from over at http://www.ritewhileucan.com where I gush over all things stationery and the lost art of letter writing. I think you might enjoy it.
