Homespun Harvest Blessings Card

To create this card, I started by swiping brown ink around the edges of my card and a torn piece of coffee dyed paper.  Then, I attached the coffee dyed paper to the card using the Best Glue Ever.  I only needed tiny dots of glue and since I have the No Clog Writing Cap on the top of my bottle, I am guaranteed not to use more than I need.  A think piece of ivory netting was added next using the same method.

Next, I took my felt leaves and hand stitched around the edges for a more handmade look.  I used large glue dots made from the Best Glue Ever to secure these to my card.  An important tip when securing larger or heavier items, wait a few minutes for your glue dots to cure and turn clear before attaching the items to your base material.  I also used the Best Glue Ever to attach the buttons and wooden pumpkin to the corners of my card.

Using Fall fabric strips, I made a bow and used layers of the Best Glue Ever to attach these to each other. I set that aside to cure and then took a yo yo and added some textured ivory thread, then a glue dot, and placed a wooden pumpkin in the center.  Once that cured, I used a large glue dot made from the Best Glue Ever to secure them to each other and my card.  I also added the sentiment of “Blessings” that was stamped in brown on coffee dyed paper and mounted on foam dots for dimension. For a finishing touch, I added some pretty gold fringe trim to the bottom of my card to bring in more Fall colors.  I also used to heavy lines of the Best Glue Ever to add this because of the weight.

I hope you like my Homespun Harvest Blessings, here is a closer look at some of the details:
