I am bringing to you a Bendi Fold for this Thanksgiving season!

As a guest author, I featured a VIDEO tutorial for "Splitcoaststampers" of the Bendi fold card back in May 2013
and I am extremely pleased to see how many of you have being inspired by this shape and have come up with your own designs and even "invented/added" extra ways to display this card from the basic concept!
This is the case of my dear friend, Carol who contact me showing me her "version" of the "Bendi" fold...she named it as a "tent topper bendi fold"...ingenious!
In return, from her concept, I got the idea to make a higher back for the "Bendi" basic form......
and that is how my card has this taller back that I made with a Tim Holtz "vintage cabinet" die paired with the "hanging sign" and the "flourishes" die to "hang" the "bird cage" from them...
This is the view of the center panel....
I love when we share all these ideas, this is how creativity gets nurtured...
You can see Carol's idea / her version of her " topper" in this Christmas "tent topper Bendi fold" post / masterpiece that she created at her Blog "Chocolate, Crafts and Bears"
The background papers, first were sprayed with "perfect pearls/pewter" mist and then I stamped using a Hero Arts stamp background with "Versamark" and then applied "Perfect Pearls" powders in gold and copper. The shimmer in person is so nice...
remember to spray the whole with a fixative...
On the opened right side of the card....
The pumpkin comes from a "Cuttlebug" embossing and die combo and here I used my "Panpastels" to color it, the vibrant colors are so exquisite...
On the opened left side of the card....
The pumpkin was colored in green and The swirly leaves are "Spellbinders"...
Can you guess how I did the wheat ?
I took the "Delacie border" die from Memory Box and I cut the picks of that border and place them on top of each other to make them to look like wheat! great isn't it?see the die below on the supplies list...
This is how it looks opened...
On the front I used a "Stampendous" set of clear stamps and I stamped the sentiment with "Versamark" ink and rub the "perfect pearls" gold and copper (same technique used on the background on the center panel of the card)
And this is how it looks closed...
I made this Halloween Bendi card as well...check it out! just in case you missed it!
Thanksgiving is approaching very rapidly and I am so excited...this is one of my all time favorite American holidas!
Ok my friends, love to see your creations, let me know if you make one of these....it is all about sharing/exchanging and getting each day a little bit more "knowledgeable" :) in what we like to do!

Bibiana you are so sweet to mention me in your post-thank you so much for that! You sure know your way around Tim Holtz dies. I adore the way you used the piece from the hanging sign and the flourish to make your bird cage stand. It's very impressive and so beautiful. The cabinet die is just perfect for the backdrop for the bendi card. It creates a nice line for the card. I am going to try it too! The colors are just beautiful on this card. What a beauty!
