BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN PAPER

 Thank you for coming by today!

ONE LAST THANKSGIVING CARD (I think)

Yesterday I posted a card I made after watching THIS video.   Today's card was made after she showed how to make a second one with this same layout. The card she made on her YouTube video used a foiling technique to make the "Dotted Swiss" background.  I don't have a foiling unit, so I embossed a piece of Basic Beige cardstock and then very carefully ran a metallic gold ink folder over it to hit the dots. My first attempt failed but this one came out just perfect.  I'm thinking I may have some dsp or specialty paper that would have a gold metallic background and could work for this as well.

 I did change up everything on the focal point layer.  I am really liking this one and wish I had cut pieces to make multiples of it.  I used the "Beautiful Autumn" stamp set and the coordinating punches.  I am sure these are retired items.  The dsp was a $5.00 collection with a $75 order.  The sheets all have  shimmer to them.

THANKSGIVING CARD

This afternoon, I finally got a chance to pull out some paper and make a card.  I found THIS video using the "Glow of Harvest" dsp that had been a product of the month.  I've only used a very small portion of it and the papers are so appropriate for this time of year.  

I made some minor changes in mine since I didn't have the exact supplies that Chris had used.  I didn't need another Thanksgiving card but I believe this one will go out in the mail possibly instead of another one I had made.

Thank you for coming by today!

 

Yesterday Rita Holmes had a video making a card with this format.  I didn't have the same die she used but came up with something that provided a similar affect.

WITH A GRATEFUL HEART

GREAT CARD FOR SCRAPS

Although this would be a perfect card for scraps of this or any other paper, I have to confess, I actually cut all of the strips 1/2" wide from 6" x 6" pieces of the dsp.  I had seen a card like this and wanted to CASE it.  My focal point is different than the one I saw on Pinterest.

Both sentiments are from Papertreyink "Give Thanks" designed by Dawn McVey.
