Gratitude

 

Today is my last of the Harvest of Thanks cards. I have really enjoyed working with this set and will probably use it to make my Thanksgiving cards this year.

I had created a card yesterday, but struggled with the design layout and pattern selection.  I was going to remake it, but decided I would just leave it until morning.  Well morning came and I was still not pleased with it. So you might have guessed, it made it's way to the trash bin! Thus a late post!

I was up early to start again. I perused some sketches on line choose this one.  It is an earlier OWH 146 sketch, but I flipped it and used a different image shape. Finally, I was pleased with the outcome.

I used the Sweater Weather DSP again. I paired it with Soft Suede CS and ink, Crushed Curry CS and ink, and Very Vanilla for the main card. 

I used the Deco Labels framelits #130102 for the first time on this card to highlight the turkey image. You can, of course, not do this extra step, but it does add interest to the card layout.

Also used was the Naturals Designer Buttons, Linen Thread, Square Lattice folder, and the Bitty Banners die cuts. 

The envelope was made using the Envelope Punch board, did I tell you I love this new tool! I think I did. :>}

I finished it off this time by cutting a 4x4 piece of coordinating card stock. 

Folded it in half, punched the end with using the EPB , 

glued one half with SNAIL. That was it!  

   I hope you enjoyed seeing ways on how to use this stamp set and DSP.
I would love for you to drop me a line and let me know what you think.

MAke it a great day and stay CRAFTY!

Harvest of Blessings

Today I am posting another card using Harvest of Thanks #131739.

I used the MOJO Monday 311 sketch, just flipping it.

I used the Sweater Weather DSP again and made a matching envelope from the Crushed Curry CS using the Envelope Punch Board.

The base of the card is Very Vanilla and I accented it with Soft Suede paper and stamped the image in Soft Suede ink. The corn was highlighted using Crushed Curry ink applied with a Blender Pen.

I cut out the sentiment with  a Apothecary Accents framlits that I used on yesterdays card. Just stamp, run through the Big Shot or other die cutting machine, and done! No fussy cutting. Love it!

I finished the card using the Square Envelop Lattice folder, Circle Punch, Ticket Punch (retired) , Adorning Accents edgelits, some cute little Candy Dots and Very Vanilla Ribbon Seam Binding. Finished...

Make it a great day and do something CRAFTY!

Thanks

Happy Monday everyone!

I am so pleased to be posting a card today. The weekend was full of some ministry opportunities and pressing and hanging drapes and pictures in our new home.  Of course, my husband mentioned it was about time!

 I wasn't sure I was going to be able to create, but managed to fit it in. My card layout was inspired by an older MOJO Monday sketch, MOJO 248. 

 

I hadn't used my new stamp set, Harvest of Thanks #131739 and

it seems I always need a thank you card. I will be creating two

 more cards from this set, so be sure to stop back.

I used Sweater Weather # 132184 DSP, Chocolate Chip CS, and Tangerine Tango CS . I thought they would be perfect for a Thanksgiving thank you. I stamped on Very Vanilla with Tangerine Tango ink. I then used the framelit that matched the stamp from Apothecary Accents #127003.

To complete the card, I added Candy dots to the Large Scallop die cut, Natural Trim Ribbon and embossed the solid piece of Chocolate Chip with the Perfect Polka dots folder to give it a little interest.

I hope you stop by again this week. Make your day great and stay

CRAFTY!

Everything is Coming Up Butterflies #1

This week I plan on showing sample cards using the Petite Butterfly Punch that is available bundled with the Papillion Potpourri stamp set until September 30th.

I have used this particular set quite a bit since I bought it in July of last year.  Butterflys never go out of style and are such a pretty addition on a card.

I chose the Note Cards and Envelopes Set (131527) feeling 

it worked well as a gift card. 

Stamping and punching 2 of the butterflys in the set, I layered them with a glue dot to give dimension, then placed them randomly on the stamped image from Chalk Talk 130634. I completed the set by cutting a liner for the envelope with the Framelits- Envelope Liner 132172.

Masculine Birthday Card

I posted this card over at Stampin' Connection and Linda Heller's Freebie Friday FB page and decided to post it here on my blog also.

I used the MOJO Monday 309 sketch from this past Monday and paired it up with the new SU Sweater Weather DSP - 132184 and used the new Wetlands stamp set - 126697.

 Since this is a card for a certain young man in my family who is having a birthday, a matching envelope was in order. I'm just loving the NEW Envelope Punch Board - 133774.  As I mentioned in an earlier post, it's so easy to use and you can create 66 different size envelopes!

 Have a wonderful and blessed weekend and stay CRAFTY!
