Thanks So Much

Happy Monday...and happy Halloween! While we are not big Halloween people in our house, my son certainly does enjoy dressing up and visiting his friends' houses for tricks and treats. I'm sure tonight will be TONS of fun!
Today I have a shaker card I designed a while back, but neglected to share with you. It uses the Wondrous Wreath stamp set and coordinating framelits.

I stamped the wreath in Crushed Curry and then the accent leaves in Cherry Cobbler...they turn rust-coloured when layered on the yellow. The window on for the shaker was die-cut using the Wonderful Wreath Framelits. The die-cut sentiment is from the Hello You Thinlits and the stamped sentiments if from the coordinating Crazy About You stamp set. I used Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate for the window on the shaker and filled the shaker with sequins. The background is Kraft card stock that I embossed using the Petal Burst TIEF.

On the inside of the card I simply stamped along the bottom edge with the accent leaves stamp from the Wondrous Wreath stamp set using Crushed Curry and Cherry Cobbler ink.

I love making shaker cards...they are such fun!! Have marvelous Monday and a wonderful week!

Christmas Blessings

Happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend. We celebrated Thanksgiving with my family (a week late!) complete with turkey dinner and all. I'm still full!
This week I'm going to be showcasing projects made using the Christmas Pines bundle from the Holiday catalogue. I adore this stamp set and thinlits and want to show you just how much you NEED this bundle in your collection. So here is today's project...

I love the combination of pale blue, white and silver for Christmas. It is so wintry and crisp. Here I began with a piece of Pool Party card stock on which I heat embossed one of the pine branch images from the Christmas Pines stamp set in white. I added some die-cut white pine branches and a couple of silver foil pinecones, cut using the Pretty Pines thinlits. The die-cut sentiment is from the Wonderful Wreath Framelits and is cut from silver glimmer paper.

The sentiment is from the Christmas Pines stamp set and is stamped in Smoky Slate ink. I added a pop of colour with some 3/8" glitter ribbon in Sweet Sugar Plum and a few Fancy Frost sequins.

On the inside of the Whisper White card stock base I stamped another sentiment from the Christmas Pines stamp set in Pool Party ink and more pine branches in Smoky Slate.

Be sure to check in tomorrow to see another card made using this set. Until then, have a marvelous Monday!

Season of Joy for Sunday Stamps

Happy Sunday...and happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians!! I hope you are spending this long weekend celebrating with those you love. Speaking of celebrating, my hubby and I are marking our 13th wedding anniversary today. I'll post the card I made for his tomorrow, so be sure to stop by.
Today marks a new colour challenge over at Sunday Stamps. It is a fabulous neutral pallette that is perfect for fall.

Here is my take on this challenge for the Design Team:

I decided to go with a Christmas card that could easily be made as a thanksgiving  project with a change in the die-cut sentiment. I used the Wondrous Wreath stamp set, stamping the wreath image in Crumb Cake ink. I then added the accent leaves heat embossed in copper...so yummy!

I used the Wonderful Wreath framelits to die-cut the word "Joy" from copper foil sheets. The stamped portion of the sentiment is from the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set and is stamped in Early Espresso ink on Very Vanilla card stock. The background panel is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Very Vanilla card stock, embossed with the Cable Knit dynamic TIEF...even yummier! I embellished my wreath with a bit of burlap ribbon, tied with some linen thread and a couple of mini pinecones. The berries on the wreath are basic pearls that I coloured with a brown Sharpie.

On the inside I added another piece of Very Vanilla card stock on which I stamped sentiments from the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set in Early Espresso and Crumb Cake ink. I added a bit of texture with the confetti image from the stamp set, stamped off in Crumb Cake ink.

Be sure to check out the gorgeous projects by the rest of the Design Team and then give this colour challenge a try. We'd love to see your creation! Have a super Sunday!
