Festive Friday #0072 - Thanksgiving

Festive Friday #0072 - Thanksgiving

• Friday, 13 November 2020

 It's time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  Every second Friday we post a challenge for you with a specific theme and a Inspo List of 10 items to choose from to create your project.  We encourage you to create a project based on the theme and Inspo List and then post it using at least 3 items from the inspiration list.

This week’s challenge #FF0071 is World Kindness Day on November 13th. Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge  At Festive Friday, you do not need to actually celebrate the occasion. I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D project and join us. You don’t need a blog to enter Festive Friday. Check out this link on how you can play along with this challenge. If you want help entering, please email me at stampinwithmelva@gmail.com and I’d be happy to help you! 

For today's challenge, I selected a thankful theme, food, burlap/twine, leaves, pumpkins and watercolouring from this week’s Inspo List.  I hope you will join us in our challenge this week. I can’t wait to see what YOU create. 

My card today is a Fancy Fold Book Bookmark Card.  I was inspired by Theresa Brown from Australia who shared her card and also by Rachel Tessman who shared the measurements for her card.  My card features the Autumn Goodness Stampset, Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper and Copper Foil.

Wouldn't you love to get a card like this in the mail!

The bookmark can be removed and used over and over again!

You can check out the instructions and supply list for this card below.
