Gather Together

Hello Blogger friends. Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog. 

Hope this Fall season is finding you well. Can you believe that we are about 2 weeks away from Thanksgiving? We have had such beautiful warm weather here for November that it seems like September. 

I host Thanksgiving at my home each year. It's a tradition that I want to hold onto for as long as I can. I love cooking for this holiday and sharing the day with my family. I also enjoy making and sending Thanksgiving cards. 

The card I am featuring today is one that I made from the Stampin' Up September Paper Pumpkin Kit- "Autumn Abundance" in an alternative design.  I used the colors from the color challenge #1023.

I was the hostess, and I chose wild wheat, night of navy and poppy parade for my color trio. The optional item was to use designer paper.

My fun fold is a double triangle design. There is a tutorial on Splitcoaststampers to create it. Click here for instructions. I saw a card on the Paper Pumpkin Facebook group and used it for my inspiration. Of course I changed it up to make it my own design.

The card front is one of the card bases in the kit. I cut it in half to use it as designer paper for my fun fold card.

The sentiment is from the Stampin' Up "painted harvest" set and is stamped in night of navy. I added some die cut greenery cut in wild wheat and poppy parade. The night of navy die cut leaves are from the kit.

Added a few night of navy rhinestones to finish off my card.

Well, that's it for me for this post. So until next time.....God bless.
