A SIMPLE THANKSGIVING CARD

I used one of the many leaf stamps that I have and simply stamped it with three different colors....So Saffron, Dusty Durango and Pumpkin Pie.  The sentiment was stamped with Early Espresso.

GATHER TOGETHER AND DAISIES

This is a CASE of a card I found on Pinterest when looking for other ideas.  The sentiment, stamped leaves and die cut leaves are from the Gather Together.  Daisy Lane stamps were used for the flowers and then punched twice using Dusty Durango, Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron card stock.  The centers were stamped with the piece in the Daisy Delight set using Early Espresso ink.  

It isn't a typical Thanksgiving card but I really like it.  Thank you for coming by today!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY HUSBAND

Even though I made my own cards to send, I usually end up buying a card for my husband.  (I know, shame on me.)  When this "Nuts About Squirrels" set came out I knew I had to have it even if I didn't use it a lot.  

Gary has two place where he places whole cobs of corn for the squirrels.  One of our daughters gave him a cute little picnic table for one ear.  One time he even made one that twirled around when the squirrel went to get the corn.  It was hilarious to watch them but they soon got used to it.

The stamp set doesn't have any corn so I used a die from one of the "Chick" sets to make it more personal for him.  The squirrels did get acorns though from a neighbors tree and sometimes bury them n our yard.

Thank you for coming by today!  Hope you are having a great weekend.

 

CASING RITA HOLMES

Recently Rita had a live video demonstration of using the Forever Fern stamp to make a wreath.  I slightly changed my colors but otherwise pretty much made the card like hers.  The only thing I would change is possibly moving the design just a bit lower.  You can see the video HERE.

Two days ago she showed a Christmas card using the Forever Fern stamps and dies and it is beautiful. It isn't a set that I would have thought to use for Christmas.  I hope to make one soon.

BUNNY ON A FENCE

 A few weeks ago I saw this cute little bunny die cut on several different cards.  The die set comes with a stool for the bunny to sit on too but I think he is so fun to use sitting in various places.  The fence die and bird are from Impression Obsession, the "tree" is from Memory Box.  I found the little bunny on Amazon and there was no brand name attached to it  

It looks like the little bunny is looking up into the tree and smiling at the bird.  I sent this card to a friend to hopefully give HER a smile too.

PAPER PUMPKIN KIT - Hello Pumpkin

I decided to use pieces from the Hello Pumpkin kit to make a Thanksgiving card.  I followed an example that I saw on Pinterest and like how it came out.

Thank you for coming by today!

PRETTY PUMPKINS

 My card base is white.  I used a strip of the Beauty of the Earth dsp on the lower portion of the card and then added a  1/2" strip of Pumpkin Pie card stock to the middle.  The pumpkins were stamped and then colored with blender pens.  I matted the stamped piece with Misty Moonlight card stock. The sentiment is from the Gather Together stamp set.

Thank you for stopping by today!
