Thankful

Nov 242015

Thankful. Grateful. Just a couple of words that describe how I feel this Thanksgiving time.

The image was stamped three times, and the little leaves were colored with Copics.

The sentiment was cut out and popped up on foam tape.

With card 2, the image was stamped directly onto the patterned paper. It was also colored with Copics, die cut and popped up on foam tape.

The white card stock was also die cut with the tree die, cut at the top and bottom of the tree so that the pieces could be separated leaving a small border around the image. Both of these card stock pieces were also popped up on foam tape. Love the dimension and depth this gives to the design.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Challenges:

Both Cards are joining the Simon Says Monday Challenge: “Thanks/Thanksgiving” and Craftyhazelnut’s Patterned Paper November Challenge.

Card 2 is playing in Pixie’s Snippets Playground-Week #204. My favorite snippet is the little section of picket fence and the sweet snippet of patterned paper with all those darling little houses.

Oh and if you have a minute and want to see a fun and joyful dance, check this out. My son, Jared, was in India a couple of weeks ago attending the wedding celebration of a good friend. Jared and his girlfriend, Michelle, participated in the dancing for the bride and groom. Fun stuff.

Happy Crafting and
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Acorns

Nov 162015

Here are three cards made with a fun new set called “Acorny Thank You.”

This first card is a clean and simple design.

The acorn was stamped with a water base ink and then shadowed with a Copic marker.

This acorn uses a couple of the different patterns available in the set.
Stripes + Polka-dots = Love!

The little heart buttons in my stash were all yellow, but this orange nut needed green. It just did. So I took a Copic marker and colored it. Problem solved.

Designer paper was used with the acorn punch for these hanging nuts.

Magnets were placed on the tops and bottoms of each acorn for some mix and match-ability.
