Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today's card is perfect for this holiday. It's how I feel about all of my family, friends, customers and those of you who take time out of your busy day to read this blog. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I hope you all have a blessed day filled with love & laughter!

We made this card at a recent Stamp Fair. I believe it was designed by Bonnie Alexander. I used it in my class last week and the girls just loved it. One of them even remarked, "Oh, I LOVE that designer series paper!" LOL!  When I informed her it wasn't DSP and she would be making it, she was shocked. I love moments like those! 😉

God Bless you & yours! 

SUPPLIES:

Cardstock: Early Espresso, Very Vanilla

Stamp Set: Painted Harvest

Thanksgiving Blessings

With Thanksgiving fast approaching, I wanted to share a card that I made per request from a friend. She wanted a Thanksgiving card "with no turkeys" LOL! Knowing what a good christian woman she is, I opted to order the Paisleys & Posies stamp set specifically so I could have the sentiment on the card for her. Then I remembered a beautiful card that one of my fellow Stray Ducklings blessed us with in a swap. I took the swap idea and ran with it, adding completely different colors, more layers and our beautiful copper foil sheets. I am over-the-top happy with this card. I hope you like it too!

The card base is Crumb Cake. The layers are Cajun Craze, Copper Foil & Very Vanilla. The sentiments are stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock in Soft Suede and the flowers are a mix of Soft Suede and Cajun Craze. 

I decided that my friend deserved a pretty package to hold the cards she ordered, so I dug through my retired cardstock and found this adorable autumn-themed DSP. I just love the little acorns! I did a little scoring and cut an opening on a piece of Whisper White with our Classic Label Punch and et Viola! Card Hanger! I wrote a thank you message to my friend inside the hanging card and now her order of Thanksgiving cards to mail out to her friends is ready to be delivered. :)

I'm looking forward to a great Thanksgiving. I'd love to hear your plans. :)

If you don't have a Stampin' Up! demo and would like to order some of these products, I'd be happy to help you.

Happy "No turkey card" day ;)
