Create a fun harvest blessings card using baskets full of colorful vegetables and a Mason canning jar.
It’s such a fun time of year, with pumpkin patches and corn mazes, many times we actually forget that those things are harvested for food and not just entertainment. We love today’s awesome card by our designer, Kittie, showing off a big veggie harvest in crates and buckets with that fun mason jar in the background. If you are into canning, then you know all too well the importance of harvesting and saving food for later. I think this card is full of fun details, a nod to simpler times. The color palette is cohesive and fun and we are here for it. Kittie shared, “I had fun making this card with plain colored cardstock that matched the harvest vegetables and pumpkins with the designer background paper. The blue blue cardstock was used because it reminded me of the mason jars my mom used to can with.” We love that so much.
Here are the products used to make this card. Mason Jars, Savor the Season, Winter Fence with Sign, Baskets, Jack-O-Lanterns, Hello Fall Sign Sayings and Autumn Leaves 6×6 Paper Pad.
Card Base and Mason Jar
- Use white cardstock to cut a 5.50″ x 4.25″ card base and designer paper to cut a 5.25″ x 4.00″ layer for the background.
- Attach the layer to the base using double stick tape.
- Use blue and gray cardstock to cut the mason jar parts, attach the lid to the jar using a piece of mounting tape.
- Apply a piece off mounting tape to the top back of the jar and Nuvo glue to the back bottom of the jar and attach it to the card base. Pro Tip: I attached the bottom section of the jar flat to the base so it would eliminate bulk so I could pop up the baskets and produce.
- Stamp the Harvest Blessings sentiment, use the coordinating die cuts to create the sign and attach it to the jar using Nuvo glue.
Baskets and Harvest Produce
- Use green, yellow and orange cardstock to cut the produce pieces.
- Attach the green pumpkin stems, Attach the corn and carrot tops and corn husks to the produce sections using Nuvo glue.
- Use light brown cardstock to cut the baskets and color them with brown ink.
- Attach the carrots and corn sections to the back of the baskets using Nuvo glue.
- Use mounting tape to attach the baskets to the card base.
- Attach the the extra corn and carrots sections along with the pumpkins to the base using mounting tape.
