Foiled Leaves Thanksgiving Card

Posted on November 13, 2024 by Judy Hayes

Hi, Judy here today with a quick and simple Foiled Leaves Thanksgiving Card! Dimensional and metallic foil leaves are easy to make with Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors with 3D Foam Leaves. Simply use an embossed background with burlap accent and a stamped greeting to quickly put together this card.

Prepare Card Parts

Cut birch cardstock 5.5 x 8.5 inches, score and fold to make 4.25 x 5.5 inch vertical fold card.

From birch cardstock, cut a 2.5 x 2.75-inch piece and emboss with an embossing folder using a die-cutting machine. Also, cut a 2.75 x 3-inch mat from medium brown cardstock.

From burlap fabric (or burlap ribbon), cut a piece to 0.75 x 3.5 inches. Fray ends slightly.

Assemble Card Base

Use E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to the back of the embossed piece and attach it to a medium brown mat. Next, apply adhesive to the back with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and secure it to the card front.

Fasten Burlap

Cut a piece of Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/2in. and fasten across the embossed panel for placement of burlap. Peel the liner and press the burlap in place.

Make Foil Leaves

Peel the liner from the medium-size leaf from 3D Foam Leaves. Randomly press Bronze foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors lightly onto a portion of the leaf. Make sure the color is facing you. Continue with Brown and Copper until the leaf is covered with foil. Lastly, press one of the foil colors over the entire leaf to fill any voids. Repeat on two more leaves.

Optional: Touch the tip of E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser on the leaf to transfer just a few dots of the adhesive. Then cover adhesive dots with foil. Repeat as desired on each leaf.

Pull a leaf off of the backing and touch the stem and very tip of leaf to foil to cover adhesive so stem and leaf tip aren’t sticky. Place leaf on center of burlap. Repeat with two more leaves and press firmly into burlap to secure. If leaves are placed lightly, they can moved if needed for desired placement.

Stamp Greeting

Ink stamp with Versafine Black Onyx and stamp greeting below leaves panel.

How easy is that! Change it up with a different greeting, different embossing designs, and even different colors of foil.

Thanks for visiting!
