Give Thanks card

Thanksgiving is days away and I've got another Thanksgiving card to share. This card is being submitted to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Thanks/Thanksgiving.  I also submitting this to STAMPlorations' Neverending Everything Goes Challenge.




I adore these little mice from Lawn Fawn - I colored them with my BIC markers. Such adorable pilgrims! I went with more muted colors and a stenciled background using this super cool leaf stencil from STAMPlorations.

OCC Holiday Style Day 5 Card

Online Card Classes' Holiday Style is in full swing and I finally caught up on the lessons! Day 5 was all about cute and whimsical - right up my alley! The technique my card features today is a combination of watercolor along with whimsical texture. Love it!


I was inspired by this card.  Here's a detail pic:


Rudolph is made of cork with a stickles red nose, while Santa has some mica flakes enhancing the suit trim along with a mini pompom for his hat.

Thanks for visiting! Can't wait to see what week 2 of Holiday Style brings!

Ingredients: Paper Smooches Santa Paws, Christmas Samples; PTI Tipped Tops; MFT Sentiment Strips; Studio Calico Very Merry

OCC Holiday Style Class Day 3 card

Back again with another card for Online Card Classes' Holiday Style class. For Day 3, the theme was Classic & Elegant Cards. There was a bonus technique - classic shape stamping. I love the look of this technique - it's a lot of work but the result is worth it!


I hit a snag with my card. After I got ALL the images within the snowman stamped, I wanted to add embossed edges to the card. My washi tape had other ideas and tore my card - ack! I was not starting over, so I cut out the snowman and adhered it to another card base. I nixed the embossed edge idea this time and just added a sentiment. The large dots are embossed with liquid platinum (my new fav embossing powder) along with the sentiment.

OCC Holiday Style Day 1 card

I love Online Card Classes! They teachers are so awesome, inspirational and creative! I was so happy to see they were presenting a holiday card class this year (Holiday Style) - it gives me that boost and inspiration to create. Day 1 of class was all about Clean & Simple cards - right up my alley. My card features the Simple Scenes technique Julie taught us. My scene is an ornament in the tree.


Instead of a drawn border around the scene, I used a black frame - love how it turned out. I created texture by using Snow-Tex and a stencil to add some "snow" to the scene.  I used it like embossing paste. Here's a detail pic:

I used liquid platinum embossing powder for the sentiment and heart.

Super Cute Thanksgiving Card

Today I have an adorable Thanksgiving card featuring my favorite Papertrey Ink squirrel - who  I affectionately named "Nutty."  This card is being submitted to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Starts with an "N".  So not only does Nutty start with "n" but he's also holding a nut - how appropriate!


Here's a detail pic:
