2-in-1 Thanksgiving Pumpkin Treat Holder and Placecard

Is it a treat holder or a place card? Why not be both!? Delight your Thanksgiving guests with this a pumpkin chocolate kiss triangle treat holder!

This style of treat holder is so easy, quick to make, and can be customizable to the materials that you have on hand.

The base is a piece of cardstock bent into the shape of a triangle. Then a die cut or punched shape is adhered to 2 sides of the triangle and then adhered together. Lastly, a chocolate kiss is placed in the center of the triangle.

You may be familiar with this treat holder style with my plethora of cat punch treat holders for Valentine's Day and Halloween. Now that the cat punch is retired, I had to brainstorm other punches and dies that I could make the triangle treat holder with.

Don't worry. I didn't sell my cat punch after it retired. The cat punch is one punch that I plan on keeping for a long time regardless of its current or retired status. So, you may see some projects in the future with the cat punch.

With Thanksgiving coming soon, the pumpkin stamp and die from the #159634 Hello Harvest stamp set and the #159643 Rustic Pumpkin Dies was a great place to start!

Once I made the treat holders, I added a name tag across the front of the pumpkin to add the name of a guest. I wrote the names for these samples with my computer. However, I recommend a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker or a Basic Black Stampin' Blend to write the name of your guest before you attach the name tag to the pumpkin.

These treat holder place cards are versatile. Use them during the dinner or after. The place cards can be put at each guest's place setting or on a side table for guests to pick up when they arrive or for when they leave.

Treelined Landscape Display Panel Fun Fold Thanksgiving Card

I was excited to try this new to me fun fold! It is called the Landscape Display Panel Card and was made by fellow Stampin' Up! demonstator Heidi Smith based on the portrait version made by fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator Susan Campfield. Susan called her card a freestanding floating panel card.

This fun fold card can stand up on its own, making it an idea display card! You can see from the overhead view photo below that there are three panel areas - a smaller panel in the front, a larger panel behind it, and a center panel across the back of the card base.

For my landscape display panel card, I envisioned a tree lined forest scene with leaves changing to reds, oranges, and yellows with just a touch of gold embossing powder. I used the tree stamps from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set to make the row of trees across each of the panels. The grass is made by lightly swirling Garden Green ink along the bottom of the panels. I wanted the emphasis to be on the tree leaves and the greeting.

The gold embossing powder adds a bright metallic shine that pairs well with the brilliant red, orange, and yellow of the trees' leaves. The embossing powder also embellishes the card without adding extra bulk to this already thick fun fold card.

This fun fold card does fit in a A2 envelope and does fold flat. However, this fun fold is bulky because of the scoring and the layers of panels. I don't recommend adding too many 3 dimensional embellishments to your card to avoid having to purchase a special gusseted envelope.

There is plenty of room on the back of the card to write a special message. I repeated the trees growing together from the center front of the card to the back of the card.

Floral Pumpkin Thanksgiving Card

For today's card I created an autumnal Thanksgiving card featuring the Hello Harvest stamp set (#159634) and Rustic Pumpkin Dies (#159643) as well as the Painted Pheasant stamp set (#159846). This card layout is also easy to replicate and make multiples for your family and friends.

I like the thanksgiving greeting stamp from Painted Pheasant for this card (and also in general) because the fonts are easy to read and it does not overshadow the pumpkin floral element in the center of the card.

I stamped the thanksgiving greeting on Daffodil Delight cardstock to tie the greeting to the sunflowers and to the squash on the designer series paper.

I was originally going to stamp the pumpkin in the center of the Basic White rectangle and adhere the floral spray with dimensionals on top of the pumpkin. However, the background looked too bare and the pumpkin receded into the background.

So, I die cut the pumpkin and added dimensionals to the back of both the pumpkin and the floral spray. Then I used the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder to add a delicate layer of interest behind the pumpkin and floral die cuts without overwhelming the rest of the card.

 

 

Inside of the card is plenty of room to write a thanksgiving message. At the bottom I added a 3/4" strip of the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper.

 

 

Pro Tip: You can cut each of the designer series paper panels separately or cut 1 piece that measures 3-5/8" x 5-1/4" and cut it into 3 panels as indicated in the measurements list below. You should be able to cut 6 panels of 3-5/8" x 5-1/4" and 6 pieces that measure 4" x 3/4" for the inside DSP strip using a 12" x 12" piece of designer series paper.

Below are the measurements and the supply list for my 3-panel designer series paper Thanksgiving card. If you need supplies to recreate this card, please, shop my online store HERE.

Hello Harvest Offset Gatefold Card

Fun folds, like this offset gate fold card, are a great way to feature designer series papers, especially with larger prints and scenes. The Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper in the 2022 July-December Mini Catalog is perfectly suited. It has larger patterns with fall squashes and gourds and large chrysanthemums that could almost fill the entire card front. 

 

You can cut the designer series paper piece in one continuous scene or cut three individual strips of designer series paper. For today's card, I cut the designer series paper in a large panel and then cut it into three individual l pieces to create continuous scene. 

The offset gate fold card is similar to the regular gate fold card. It keeps the same card base, but the front opening is moved to one side. You can move the opening to the right or to the left side of the card. You can hold the card vertically or horizontally, like in today's project.

Below are the measurements and supply list for this Hello Harvest offset gate fold card. 

Measurements

• Card Base: 4-1/4" x 11"; scored at 1-7/8" & 7-3/8" (Merry Merlot Cardstock)
• Designer Series Paper (cut 3): 4" x 4-7/8" and then cut into 3 - 1-5/8" x 4" pieces (Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper)
• Square Mat: 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" (Merry Merlot Cardstock)
• Square: 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" (Basic White Cardstock)
• Pumpkin: 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" (Basic White Cardstock)
• Banner: 4" x 2" (Crushed Curry Cardstock)
• Sunflowers (stamp 3): 3" x 1" (Basic White Cardstock)
• Inside Mat: 4" x 5-1/4" (Basic White Cardstock)
• Cardstock Scrap to reinforce underneath of the sunflowers: about 1/2" x 1/2"

Supplies:

• #159634 Hello Harvest Stamp Set
• #159644 Hello Harvest Bundle
• #146979 Merry Merlot Cardstock
• #159276 Basic White Cardstock
• #131199 Crushed Curry Cardstock
• #159633 Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper
• #132708 Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad
• #147112 Merry Merlot Ink Pad
• #147111 Mossy Meadow Ink Pad
• #100082 Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker
• #154897 Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends Combo Pack
• #154906 Soft Suede Stampin' Blends Combo Pack
• #154883 Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends Combo Pack
• #141897 Clear Wink of Stella
• #154317 Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder
• #118487 Clear Block A
• #117147 Clear Block B
• #118485 Clear Block D
• #118490 Clear Block H
• #104430 Dimensionals
• #102300 Bone Folder
• #103579 Paper Snips
• #110755 Liquid Glue
• #130148 Grid Paper
• #152392 Paper Trimmer
• #149653 Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine with the Specialty Plate
• #159643 Rustic Pumpkin Dies

The card closes by securing the left tail of the banner underneath a grouping of three sunflowers. I adhered the sunflowers in a cluster to a small scrap of cardstock to reinforce the strength of the closure. The card functions without the reinforcement, so the extra cardstock underneath the sunflowers is not essential.

 

I hope you give this offset gate fold card featuring the Hello Harvest Bundle a try! If you need supplies to make this fun fold card, please, shop my online store HERE. 

If you have any questions about today's project, please, don't hesitate to ask me. I am happy to help you with your stamping questions!

You are Missed Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper

The 2022 July-December Mini Catalog debuted a few days ago. I just had to share this "gourd-eous" thinking of you card from page 50 of the July-December Mini Catalog! This card sample show cases how to use the Rustic Harvest paper as a background and as a grouping of gourds around the pumpkin die cut.

 

Not only can you use the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper for larger areas of your card projects, but you can also use them in smaller ways by fussy cutting the different pumpkins, gourds, and leaves.

I also like how Stampin' Up! paired the Hello Harvest Product Suite with the #159163 Fabulous Frames Dies on page 171 of the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. The frame die cut provides a beautiful gold foil backdrop to anchor the gourd arrangement!

What a perfect card to let a loved one know that you are thinking of them!

Check out the 2022 July-December Mini Catalog for even more "gourd-eous" card and project samples! Shop the 2022 July-December Mini Catalog in my online store HERE.
