The Card Concept #211 Thankful Blessings

 


Howdy!  

Thanksgiving is quickly approaching.  My family will be in by mid week, the grocery shopping has begun, and the cleaning of the house will commence!  It will be great seeing everybody, but it's a lot of preparation.  

And so after much preparation, it was time for a break down into the craft room.😏  lol.  This month's challenge at (The Card Concept#TCC211) is based off of an inspiration board.




The color palette contains all the rich fall colors of gold, browns, black and white.  I decided I wanted a cleaner looking card, so I designed a card with a lot white space with a slim black border along the edge.  Along the card fold, overlapping leaves have been stamped in fall colors of golds, reds, greens, and browns.  A bold Thank You sentiment was cut from gold cardstock and overlapping the leaves.  A few accents of metallic gold accents were added around the leaves.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Gina K. - Autumn Silhouettes,  (Acorn from Stampin Up- Fantastic Foliage 1998)

Ink: Ranger Archival Ink- Sepia, Fern Green

       Stampin Up - Cherry Cobbler, Chocolate Chip

       Tim Holtz Distress Ink- Fossilized Amber, Candied Apple

Other supplies : Prisma Color Pencils, Metallic Gold Affects

Die:  Altenew Thanks cutting die

      

Thanks for stopping by!  Gobble till' you wobble!

Easter Fun Fold

Hello!  I saw a great technique today, that is a Z - fold card with a cross design. The card technique is from Lynn Dunn.  She has both a video and a very helpful download with all the measurements.  Thanks Lynn!  This is a great card for many occasions!  What I like about this design is that the cross is very prominent by the Z-Fold. You can find Lynn’s link:  (Here)   One of the most helpful tools for this project is a simple engineering ruler.  I watched a video from Jennifer McGuire a while back, and it’s a tool she uses often.   I ordered it, and it makes life so much easier.  This ruler is easy to read with all of the markings.  It has both metric and standard markings. (Amazon Link) I looked through my papers and made this card with Stampin Up’s Thoughtful Journey DSP.   The embossed cross pattern is from an Anna Griffin - Border embossing folder.  The pattern is called Blooming Damask.   The sentiment is from ...

Positively Peanuts!

 Hello!  The current challenge for the Double D Blog is Love and friendship.   To join in on the challenge: click the link  (HERE) I couldn’t think of a better friendship than Snoopy and Woodstock’s!  I was gifted the Creative Stamping Magazine, issue 156 from my Sister In Law!  I had kind of given up on these stamps, and she happened to see the magazine sitting on the shelf in the bookstore, and was nice to gift me the magazine.   To create this shaker card, I used a frame cutting die from the Past Unity Stamps Whit Kit (No Place Like Home).  I stacked  2 - panels for the top, and 4 - panels for the bottom, using Unity’s Basic Black cards stock. The bottom frame was glued to a slightly larger frame cutting die from Coastal Cabana card stock (SU). The hearts were added from a mini paper punch, with a few extra small beads.   Snoopy and Woodstock were stamped with Versa fine onyx black ink, colored and fussy cut.  I stamped the senti...

Blue Door Wreath

 Hello! Today was the first day I played with my Greetery, Shortbread Embossing Folder!   My parents usually visit close to the Holidays to celebrate a birthday and exchange gifts with one another.   My Mom graciously gave me a card with money, so I online shopped with the Greetery to pick up some things I had been eyeing.  (Thanks, Mom! ❤️) I started by cutting the Shortbread outline with the coordinating die first, then lining the the cut piece up and embossing as usual. For the card base, I cut a side folding A2 sized card.  I took the Shortbread Shapes die, letting the cutting edge hang off the crease.   I adhered the embossed panel on top, and trimmed the bottom edge. For the wreath: I started by cutting the outline with two nesting half circle dies, and taping one inside the other. Then I grabbed 3 -shades of scrap blue cardstock (Seaside Spray, Misty Moonlight, and Night of Navy) - SU and cut leaves from an older Concord and 9th Christmas Set. The fu...
