Give Thanks

https://cyhtp.blogspot.com/2022/10/anything-goes-embossing-with-twist-of_01661511860.html

Hello and welcome. With Halloween almost over time for Thanksgiving cards.

Today’s card will be entered in CYHTP with a twist of pumpkins. The background is an embossed piece from my stash. I’m a little confused because in the photo the background looks like the debossed side is showing but not in real life. hmmm. Pp was found online, photo corners are hand cut, center strip was cut on my paper trimmer. Pumpkin is from an online coloring page, colored with Copic’s, fussy cut and popped up. After coloring the pumpkin, and before fussy cutting, I put the paper back in the printer and added the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by your visit means a lot to me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Thanksgiving Smiles

Hello and welcome.

After seeing a couple of cards like this on Pinterest I decided to give it a try. Again, the pp is from online. The cute little acorn faces are made using SU’s Ornament punch and hats were made with the small oval punch and I just hand cut the small top pieces. For the hair I unraveled a piece of cording, bow is small piece of the cording. Smiles are punched from a small circle punch, noses are small gems, cheeks were made using an eye shadow applicator and pink stamp pad. And of course I couldn’t resist googly eyes. Sentiment was printed on the computer.

Thanks for stopping by your visits mean a lot to me. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Three Turkeys

Hello and welcome. I hope you’ve had a good weekend.

Today’s card was very, very easy, thanks to Silhouette. All I did was size the image and let the machine cut away. Then all I did was apply some glue and stick it together. I’m pretty pleased with this one.

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hello and welcome.

Today’s card is my first Thanksgiving card for this year. This is a CASE of one I saw on Pinterest here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/342555115419557712/. The pp was found online. Leaf is a new (no name) die set I bought on Amazon, wheat is from the Silhouette, sentiment was printed on the computer. I was kind of stumped as to how to adhere the very narrow wheat stems, so I dropped some liquid glue on a piece of paper and lightly dipped the lower stems and put them together. Gold cord is from my stash and the leaf is popped up.

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Hello and welcome. Hope you’re having a good day.

When I found this quote “What did the teacher ghost say to her class? … “Watch the board and I’ll go through it again.” I immediately thought of my daughter who teaches fifth grade. Since my Silhouette wasn’t working when I made this card, I used a clip art ghost and fussy cut it. I think my daughter will get a kick out it. I’m entering this in Make the Cards Challenge

Please Hold

Hello and welcome. Wow, this is the first day we have not had the AC on, what a wonderful feeling.

Today’s card is dear-old-sister’s chuckle of the month. Sentiment “…Please continue to hold. Your call is important to us.” Inside “But your time is not.” This is from a Frank & Ernest cartoon strip. Image was found online, circle frame is Stitched Circles by Die-namics. EF used is from Michael’s. D-o-s could relate to one of those calls.

Yellow White Orange

Hello and welcome. Hope you have had good weekend.

Today’s card is for our 1 1/2 year old great-granddaughter. Now all our great-grandkids are taken care of for Halloween. This is a CASE of one I saw on Pinterest you can see here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/342555115412370170/. Pumpkin head is from an online coloring page colored with Copic’s. Since I didn’t have any orange or yellow ribbon, I Googled Halloween bow clip art and thought this bow would work quite well so I printed and fussy cut it. What did I ever do before Google??? I ran the yellow and orange panels through the Fancy Fan ef from SU. I used a sponge dauber and Crumb Cake stamp pad to edge around all the panels.

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

don’t worry

Hello and welcome. Hope you’ve had a good week.

Today’s card is for my sister-in-law. The sentiment “Don’t worry about getting old… Worry about thinking old.” was found somewhere online. Before printing the image, another online find, I used a cotton ball and Bashful Blue stamp pad to create a light sky, then I used Smokey Slate to create kind of a lane. Hubby & I both can see his sister riding a scooter. This was indeed a very quick and easy card.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

While going through my Halloween stash the embossed spider web panel fell on my desk then the two die cut spider webs fell on top of that and I said to myself ‘self, this could make a cool card.’ To my surprise this Halloween washi tape also fell out. Trying to think of what to add I Googled Halloween clip art and found these little monster cuties. Monsters are fussy cut. I think this one will go to our 5 year old great-grandson. I’m entering this is Two Old Bats and Make the Card Challenge.
