A Reminisce friend created this WONDERFUL Fall Harvest Wreath using the Harvest collection. Cheryl Moores sent in some photos of her creation that proudly hangs from her front door!
Love all the accordian fold paper rossettes that form the base of this project...ADORABLE!
Thanks Cheryl for sharing your project with us! Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Today's blog post features a tutorial for handmade Thanksgiving placecards from design team member Lynne Forsythe. She first pulled out some of the BEAUTIFUL Harvest Collection papers, Autumn Harvest and Fall Harvest, and then let the creating begin!
Here are the step by step instructions:
1. Cut cardboard 4" x 6" and scored them at 3". Fold the cardboard in half,
paint with Gesso and then ink with Rusty Hinge Distress Ink.
2. Diecut two flowers and a circle for each place card out of Autumn Harvest, run them through an embossing folder.
3. Sand the high spots.
4. Spritz the die cut flowers and a paper flower with Perfect Pearls Mist and dry them.
5. Assemble the place cards as shown.
The matching Harvest border stickers were a perfect addition to the place cards.
Don't you think these will be the perfect additions to a Holiday Table?
Thanks so much for sharing this project Lynne!
Design Team member Robin Gibson put together this trio of Thanksgiving cards created with the Reminisce Harvest Line...perfect for the upcoming US holiday!
What a great grouping, and all perfectly coordinated for the fall holiday season!
Love how Robin added dimension to the leaf stickers in the line with pop dots and some paper shaping!
The mini chipboard 'tickets' work perfectly for a card sentiment!
The Harvest Glow paper is just lovely as a card background!
What amazing cards Robin! Thanks for sharing!
Welcome back to "Loving my Leftovers" week...today's project features a paper flower created from leftover scraps of Harvest papers...this is a fun, easy (and inexpensive) way to make perfectly coordinated embellishments for any project!
Here's what you will need:
2 small punched circles (these are 1.25 inch), a mix of thin paper strips (approximately 6 iinch long, up to 3/8 inch thick), an adhesive machine.
Apply adhesive to one side of each of the punched circles. Start laying out the paper strips, adhering one end to the center of one of the punched circles (with the adhesive side up).
Stop when you have covered half of the punched circle. Begin looping the loose ends of the paper strips onto the other half of the punched circle. The ends of the paper strip should meet in the middle.
Flatten the loop gently.
Continue until all the paper strips have been looped and flattened.
Adhere the other punched paper circle on top of the flower and 'fluff' the paper strips to add some dimension back to the flower.
Add to your project and embellish as needed...the flower on the thank you card was embellished with a stamped paper flower and a premade tulle flower.
Another reason to HANG ON to those scraps!
Hello Reminisce FAN-atics! This week is LOVING MY LEFTOVERS (formerly from SCRAPS to TREASURES) week on the blog!
DT member, Angela Ploegman is kicking it off with some fabulous woven paper coasters created from strips of the HARVEST collection...
Angela cut her harvest scraps into 1/2 inch strips and wove them into a square. The square was then adhered to a slightly smaller square of card stock and then cold laminated to make the coasters easy to clean and reusable!
What a creative use for paper scraps! Thanks for sharing Angela!
Today's featured project is an altered pumpkin created by DT member Lynne Forsythe:
Lynne created her little table topper by covering a faux pumpkin with strips of Harvest papers. She then added leaf stickers around the stem and added a colored flower and seam binding for accents.
Love the look of the torn Harvest papers...and what a creative idea for a fall centerpiece! Thanks for sharing Lynne!

Today, DT member, Kim Holmes is sharing a Thanksgiving layout that she created using Reminisce's Harvest line of papers and embellishments.
Kim made the layout in advance of her annual holiday rush, leaving room for this year's pictures to slide right in when printed (she used place holder photos for today's blog post)...LOVE that idea!
Thanks for sharing Kim!
Since school's back in session and fall is just around the corner, we're celebrating with HARVEST week...the autumnal and neutral colors work well together in this line and the Design Team is ready to show it off all week long.
Becky starts the week off with a single page layout...
The line's gorgeous color palette is definitely on display in this layout...and love Becky's die cut details!
Here are some close ups:
Love how she used the tickets and tags sticker sheet above...
Love the coiled brown wire details too!
Thanks for sharing Becky!
ps. Tonight (Monday) at midnight is the deadline to enter the current Reminisce Blog Challenge...check out the details HERE.
Last week's sneak peek of the NEW Reminisce HARVEST collection included some paper pumpkins created by DT member Tami Sanders....there were so many inquiries about how they were made, Tami was kind enough to write up a picture tutorial and share it with the Reminisce blog readers!
The pumpkins are made like the old, vintage honeycomb decorations...
1. Create a template for 1/2 a pumpkin using chipboard and cut it out.
2. Cut 5 papers the height of the pumpkin and twice the width. So if your half pumpkin template measures 6" high and 3" wide, you would cut five 6 X 6 pieces of paper.
3. Fold each paper down the center so that the height of your template is the same as the height of the folded papers.
4. Trace the template on each folded paper, with the center of the template aligned on the folded edge. Cut them out.
5. Glue the folded pieces back to back, stacking them on top of each other. Continue adding and adhering pieces to the top of the stack, keeping the center folded edges straight.
6. Glue the chipboard template piece to the top of the stack. (In the samples, there was an extra 1/2 piece of paper cut to cover the chipboard piece...in the pictures below, the chipboard piece is bare, so that it remains visible).
7. Bring the back piece around to meet the chipboard piece to form the pumpkin.
8. Punch holes in the chipboard and back piece.
9. Lace ribbons or twine through the holes to keep the pumpkin together.
10. The stems were cut from cardstock with a 1-1.5 inch slit cut up the center of each stem. Slide the stem onto the pumpkin.
That's it! And since the pieces fold right up, you can store them without damage for next year!
Thanks for sharing your creativity how-to Tami!
