Happy Thanksgiving - Day of Thanks

Hello and welcome to my blog for the second post for today;  I wanted to take a few minutes and wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and I have a card for the occasion.  I used the Day of Thanks stamp set to create this card.  Since it was designed for Thanksgiving with some iconic imagery it was a must to create.  Here's a look at my card.


I started my card by adding a piece of the Come to Gather Designer Series Paper cut at 3 3/4 x 5.  I stamped the Happy Thanksgiving from the stamp set in Early Espresso on the designer series paper.  I stamped the turkey onto a stitch circle in Early Espresso also.  I added the designer series paper to a Cajun Craze mat cut at 4 x 5 1/4.  I attached this to a Early Espresso card base cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.
To dress up the card I used some of the denim ribbon and the Crumb Cake ribbon from the Come to Gather Ribbon Combo Pack.  I attached the ribbon with a little tear & tape and then popped the stitched circle with the turkey up over the ribbon with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Thanks for dropping by.  I hope that you have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving holiday if you are in the states.  Also I wanted to mention that I have my Black Friday - Cyber Monday Ordering Special going on right now.   You can read all about it by clicking here.

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop: Winter Gifts


Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you two alternative projects for the November Paper Pumpkin Kit Winter Gifts.  My post is also part of this month's A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop.  Each month we come up with a couple alternative projects using that month's kit.  This month I created both a card and a 3d project as my alternative projects.  Here's a look at my projects.

Tips & Tricks: 

For my 3d project I created a tall milk carton.  I started out by stamping my 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 Shaded Spruce cardstock with the holly image from this months exclusive stamp set.  I stamped it all over the background cardstock to create my own designer series paper of sorts.  Once it was stamped I used my Simply Score to score the cardstock.  I scored it at 2, 4, 6, and 8 on one side.  Next I turned it on the other side and scored at 2" then I flipped it around and over and scored at 1/2".  Once all the scoring was done it was time to fold and burnish all the score lines.  I cut up the 2" score lines at the bottom and took off the two very small rectangles.  You are going to secure the carton together with tear and tape.  I used my crop a dile to punch holes in the top to weave ribbon through the holes to secure close.  I stamped a sentiment on one of the banners and added it to the poppy parade circle.  I then tucked some of the holly die cuts behind the sentiment and added some red rhinestones as the berries and to add a little bling.  
For the card I used a piece of Real Red Cardstock cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.  I stamped the little snowflakes from the set onto my whisper white cardstock ( 3 3/4 x 5) all over the background.  I layered this piece onto a Real Red mat (3 7/8 x 5 1/8) which was placed on a 5 1/4 x 4 Early Espresso mat.  I then stamped the sentiment onto a one of the banners and added one of the pool party banners behind that one.  I added one of the sleds to the card front along with the sentiment.  I wanted to add just a little more bling to the card.  But how to do it, there are so many choices but I wanted to have a snow effect.  I decided to add some dots of the fine tip glue all over the background and then use my Dazzling Diamond glitter and sprinkle it over the glue.

Day of Thanks Feather Card

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share a card using the Day of Thanks Stamp Set.  I used the feather image from the stamp set to create the major part of my card.  This is a super simple and easy card to make and fast to reproduce.  Here's a look at my card.

Don't be a turkey. Express your thanks with the Day of Thanks Stamp Set. The realistic images and heartfelt sentiments radiate gratitude.  Our cling stamps features premium rubber stamp that have been deeply etched with the images so you get a superior stamped impression each time.  They are  precut so you don't have to trim.  Cling stamps are repositionable; temporarily mount them on clear blocks for stamping, then remove them for storage.  The Day of Thanks stamp set features five cling stamps featuring wonderful Thanksgiving imagery.

I repeatedly stamped the feather from the stamp set onto my Whisper White Thick Cardstock in Soft Suede Ink.  I stamped the sentiment onto a stitched whisper white circle.  I popped the circle up on Stampin' Dimensionals.  And this my friends finished my card.  Thanks for dropping by today I hope that you have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving day tomorrow.

Happy Stampin'
