Looking for a fun craft or centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table? I have just what you need. You can even add your guest's name and make these individual place settings! In the video I had a little trouble getting the cardstock strips apart. The reason is I should have made my hole a little bit bigger, so I recommend doing that depending on how big the post is for your brad. Watch the video to see how my Iconic Imagery Lighted Pumpkin is made and I hope you and yours have a very Blessed Thanksgiving!

It's my most favorite time of the year and the season to celebrate everything fall! From the colors, to the cool crisp nights, to the smell of burning leaves and pine straw - I LOVE it all! It's time to put up those flip flops and bring out the jeans and flannel! Don't worry though, you'll be able to wear those flip flops again next year! :) There really is a reason for every season, but fall is my favorite!

Previously, on my Creating With Colleen Magness YouTube Channel, I shared an Angle Fold Card using the Changing Leaves Hybrid Bundle. It is an Online Exclusive that can stamp, emboss, cut and even cut and emboss at the same time! Simply Amazing!

CHANGING LEAVES HYBRID BUNDLE  #164139  $54

In my video, I'll show you how to create the card giving complete and thorough instructions, dimensions and tips along the way! I decided to change the fall colors to our beautiful hughes of  blues and loved it just as much as our typical fall colors.

You can purchase this wonderful Changing Leaves Bundle by clicking the "Shop Now" button and enter the item # 164139. By clicking the "Online Exclusive" button on the right of my blog you can see all of the beautiful products that are featured only online, and cannot be found in any catalog. Stampin' Up! has the most amazing products and I am here to show you how to create with them and come alongside of you in your stamping journey! Please let me know how I can help! Happy Stamping and enjoy the day! Colleen
