A Simple Thanksgiving Pumpkin

You know, sometimes it feels like I'm been cleaning and sorting for years.  I know, it's only be a couple of months.  How does any one collect so much "stuff"?  When I was cleaning out my craft supply closet, I put all of my scraps in a box and every now and again, I'll pull out some colors and make a card like today's Thanksgiving card.  As a former Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I have a lot of retired card stock and designer series paper.  I love how the Cajun Craze and Not Quite Navy card stock along with the Well Worn Designer Series Paper look together.  I have been concentrating on making my Thanksgiving cards to send to family and friends.  Here's my latest.


Stamp Sets:  Pumpkin (Studio G), A Season of Giving (Hero Arts); Inks:  Cajun Craze (Stampin' Up!), Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Ink (Ranger); Card Stock:  Not Quite Navy, Cajun Craze and Well Worn Designer Series Paper (Stampin' Up!), Autumn Song Collection (Bo Bunny); Accessories & Tools:  Clear Embossing Powder (Stampin' Up!), White Doily (Bo Bunny), Pop Dots

I also added a sentiment to the inside of the card using the Cajun Craze card stock and clear embossed it as well.  I was going to add the rest of the doily but it looked rather odd, so I just left it off.  Although you can't see it, I stamped the pumpkin on the doily, then stamped it on some patterned paper, cut it out and used pop dots to attach it to the card.


A few more Thanksgiving cards and I can start in on those Christmas cards.  I have a few done but now that I've made my list, I have quite a few to go.

Until next time. . .happy creating!

Beautiful Butterflies

When I saw the current sketch on the CAS(E) this Sketch blog, I totally fell in love with it.  One of my favorite type of cards to make are clean and simple.  It also gave me a chance to use one of my Hero Arts stamp sets with a pretty flourish. 


Stamp Set:  Dot Flourish (Hero Arts); Ink:  Tim Holtz Distress Dusty Concord (Ranger); Card Stock:  Elegant Eggplant and Whisper White (Stampin' Up!); Accessories & Tools:  Beautiful Wings Embosslit and Pearl Basic Jewels (Stampin' Up!)

The Elegant Eggplant card stock doesn't show up well in this photo.  No matter what I did, it just wouldn't get a good image.

Here is the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch.  You can click on the image to go right over to their blog and see all the beautiful projects that have been made.


Until next time. . .happy creating!
