Today’s card is for one of my sisters-in-law. As usual, pp is from online, circle dies are Stitched Circles by Die-namics, sentiment is from an old Stampin Up set Birthday Blossoms, sentiment and background pieces were hand cut. To round the corners on the small pieces I used a nail emery file. Center strip is a 1/8″ strip of Chocolate Chip cs.
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.
I have been creating with the colors Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow, and Mango Melody for the color challenge at Splitcoast Stampers. I chose to make a wreath which fits right in with Double Trouble Paper Crafting challenge.
In addition to the colors I listed above, I used Soft Suede for the card base as well as the greeting. The stamps and dies were created with SU Arrange a Wreath stamp and die set. I used a retired SU embossing folder in the background. The gold paper is from my stash. I used a gold sharpie marker to color clear gems for the flower centers.
With this challenge, Thing1 said to use a circle or circular element, so my wreath is the circle. Thing3 said to use a fall or Halloween theme, so I chose fall. I missed Thing2 because I placed my greeting in the wrong place. If I had placed it in the center of the wreath, it would have worked. It is still a fun challenge and I enjoyed creating the wreath card.
The tractor rides to the pumpkin patch and the corn mazes are beginning to see their last weekend at the local farms in my area but I saved a few pumpkins from the patch for my card today. The challenge with Can You Handle The Pressure challenge blog is Anything Goes Embossing with a Twist of Pumpkins. My embossing folder partial embossed sections were created by using Darice’s clouds embossing folder and Nature 3 pack embossing folder. Both were lightly inked with some Distress Oxide ink. My pumpkin patch was heat embossed over the ink blended middle section of my focal layer. Pumpkins are Gina K Designs Haunts & Harvest stamp set. A little Wink of Stella in gold was added to the pumpkins to help them pop a little. A sentiment from Buddy Bonnie was die cut and layered and a few Taylored Expressions Drip Drops completed my card today.
It’s always fun to play along with this challenge. Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and stay safe.
Do you remember the 90’s? Life was busy in the 90’s. I took a trip with my childhood friend to Florida, bought my first car, got married, had children and several pets, bought a house and worked at my job. I am sure there were more things that happened in the 90’s, but those are highlights. You are wondering why I am taking a trip down memory lane…Well, I am the guest designer for the Retro Rubber Challenge and the theme is the 90’s!
You see it is a color challenge, so dig out those retro colors and give this challenge a try!
I chose Mimi going Extreme with her snowboarding. The stamp set is named Extreme Mimi. She is a wood block stamp with a date of 2012. The embossed background is from Stampin Up Scattered Sequins; it reminds me of snowflakes. I used Gina K/Thermoweb Stitched Ovals dies. To color Mimi, many waterbased markers came out of hiding: Island Indigo, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock, Baked Brown Sugar, Ruby Red, Terracotta Tile (all retired), then I used alcohol markers for her face: Spectrum Noir FS2 with SU Light Pink Pirouette for the cheeks. The snow was colored with Copic BG70 and I outlined her with BG10. The waterbased markers were blended with a Tombow blender pen.
It was fun to bring the retro image back to life. I enjoyed finding the various colors to fit the challenge. Come join me and create a retro card!
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.
My ghostly card today will be entered into a new to me challenge Most Magical Time of the Year which is a sister challenge to the Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenges blog. The Most Magical Time of the Year is 365 days of Halloween, Day of the Dead, Christmas or Winter theme. I cannot move onto Christmas before I finish Halloween and Thanksgiving cards so I decided to use Taylored Expressions Boo Bundle which includes G-G-G-Ghost Stamp & Stencil set, Ghost Gang and Boo die set as well as Ghost Town Border dies for my village. After blending my background I distressed the background with a little DO ink. I think the Ghosts may have been eating chocolate and actually made chocolate smudges.
This month another sister challenge will go live Crazy for Cats. That should be fun too.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and be safe.
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.
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.
