Even though it's still summer, yesterday felt like a perfect Autumn day.   Crisp air, sunny but cool, perfect to wear shorts & a sweatshirt (which is my favorite outfit to wear).  This card, which showcases the Gilded Autumn Specialty Paper, has a clean, simple and crisp layout without any stamping.  As I was trying to figure out which color to cut the Happy Thanksgiving, I was inspired by an ad I saw in a Crate & Barrel Fall catalog.  You never know where you will find inspiration.

 

This could easily be an Autumn birthday, thank you, sympathy and thinking of you card simply by changing the words.

Card Instructions:

1. Cut card base using Thick Very Vanilla card stock 4-1/4” x 8-1/2", score in half on the 4-1/4”.
2. Cut Mint Macaron layer 5" x 3-7/8". 
3. Cut six 1-1/2" x 1-3/4" rectangles using one of each foil print from Gilded Autumn Specialty Paper.
4. Cut either 1-1/2" x 5-1/2" strip of Copper Foil sheet OR two 1-1/2" x 1" rectangles of Copper Foil Sheet.  Adhere strip to the middle Very Vanilla base in a horizontal direction with glue.  (if using two rectangles, line up straight as if it were one strip - the two pieces save a little foil paper that will be hidden by the larger front layer).
5. Adhere six pattern rectangles to the Mint Macaron layer with glue.  There should be an 1/8" border around all rectangles.
6. Cut "Happy Thanksgiving" out of Pretty Peacock card stock**.  Adhere to front of Mint Macaron & patterned rectangles layer with glue.  **If using Adhesive Sheets, stick Adhesive Sheets to Pretty Peacock card stock before cutting out the words.  No need to use glue, peel the backing layer to reveal stickiness.
7. Using dimensionals, adhere to front of card base.
