Thank You Card...Season of Thanks

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.—Philippians 4:6-7

It doesn't have to be long, as in forty-five thousand words—just a note will do. I have chalkboards throughout our home where I post notes of congratulations, welcome, and appreciation. Find ways to acknowledge others and observe the power of thank-you.

I love to make and share cards. You  may love to send out little love notes or write out expressions of thanks in sweet notes. Whatever, but as we come into this season of Thanksgiving...don't be shy to give thanks!

A pretty card that says Thanks for all you do, have doe and continue to do. It would be appropriate for anyone!

CCMC327 - Sketch Challenge

I am playing with this fun sketch today. You may remember that I am somewhat challenged by these kind of sketches but I focused on the focal point and not the 'slanted/crooked' paper. I used again a fall theme...thankfulness. I am trying to focus on this until at least Thanksgiving. I used the For All Things and Four Feathers stamp sets to make this card. The colors I used matched the DSP Color Me Autumn...Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow.  Thanks for looking and have a blessed day!

Paper Pumpkin Banner

Paper Pumpkin Banner

Ooh, this is fun and oh so pretty. I found this on Pintrest and placed there by Stampin' Up! Another cute idea for the October Paper Pumpkin kit. Remember, if you are a subscriber you can order the leftover kits at a reduces price. I may just order this one to make such a great banner for Thanksgiving!

Quick and Simple Fall Card

For this quick and simple card I started with a piece of 4 1/4 x 11" piece of Whisper White card stock. I folded it at  5 1/2", I cut a 1 1/2 x 4 1/4 piece of Back to Black DSP and layered it with the Basic Black card stock. I used the framelets for Fall Fun and the gold glitter paper and assembled as shown. The Thank You is from the Four You stamp set.

November Paper Pumpkin Alternative Project

One of the fun things about the Paper Pumpkin kits is the mystery of not knowing what is going to be inside and what you might be able to do with them. I am all about a fun mystery so...I love them. This month is a great set of die cut craft card stock pie boxes with embellishments. Now, I plan to use mine mostly like they are for our family cruise in December but an alternative project that I saw out there on the net was this ...

Sour Cream Treat

Somethings never get old. Like good candy or a classic movie. Also in this category is the little sour cream container full of goodies. It is one of those things that has been around forever and will always be there in the background. So, I picked up a scrap of my Motley Monsters DSP and whipped this one up in about 5 minutes total time. It will be perfect for the little boy next door!

Candy Corn Treat

I am showing you today a little candy corn treat that I made using the now retired Petal Cone die cut with my Big Shot. I cut 2 each of Whisper White, Daffodil Delight and Tangerine Tango. Next there is some cutting and gluing and then...ta da! You have this really cute treat holder. I stamped the tag and layered it.

One Month Late to the Day!

I might be the worst grandmother in record. I don't know but I went on vacation a month ago and forgot to send my granddaughter's birthday card. G-A-S-P! I know, right! I should be fired! So, I did remember her birthday and emailed my daughter who lives in the same town and have her give cash from us and give a promise of the card to be forthcoming. So, I get  home and hit the ground running. I finally got her card made and in the mail. Now it is time for Halloween. However, this is her 2nd year of scouting and her mom has been sewing patches on her uniform so I made her a brownie vest card.

Little Monster Treat

I have seen a few of these little treat holders online and here and about so I set a to make one for myself. I was thrown off at first because I did not realize that it is an alteration of the very fun Curvy Keepsakes Die shown in the latest mini catalog. I just cut off the side I did not need. Actually, being the miser of card stock that I am I just used enough to make the one side. He turned out cute, huh?

I love the googly eyes!

Spooky Window for Halloween Haunting

Again, I don't know what is going on with my camera or my eyes. It looks in focus until I am posting and with this card I have already mailed it so you will just have to  pretend that it is really in focus! More little ghosts that I hand cut because I had not found my framelet yet. I also cut the pumpkins. Oh well, it is possible! Isn't this a fun view of a spooky window. Are the ghosts looking in or out?

Creating Pretty Cards – Sketch Challenge # 40

Creating Pretty Cards – Sketch Challenge # 40 

Today I am playing with the Creating Pretty Cards Sketch. To get all the measurements etc for this card click on the link at the top of this post. You can play along too. If at least 15 cards are submitted someone will win a month's of free tutorials! How fun is that? So, 

I come from a family of long tradition of not knowing what you might be getting for Christmas. You could make out a list of wishes but there was never any guarantee that your wishes would be fulfilled. So, my sweet hubby comes from a background where you make a list and that is what you get. Today he sent me an email of what he wanted for Christmas and I ordered it today! Talk about being ahead, right? So, why not post a Christmas card to go with his wish!

The spots on the DSP remind me of snow...even the yellow spots! 

The Eyes Have It!

I will be the first one to admit that when it comes to scary and creepy movies and spook houses...leave me out! I do not understand the thrill that comes from being 'scared to death.' My daughter loves that feeling! So, my cards and projects are rarely creepy. These creepy eyes are about as scary as I get! BOO!

Halloween Card for Kara

I shared the card that I made for Logan a couple of days ago. I could not do for one without doing it for the other. So far I only have 2 grandchildren. So, this is my card for the 9 year old. I used the same ghost as for Logan. However, I am a bit embarrassed to share that I thought I did not buy the framelets to cut the ghost so I have been tracing the stamp and cutting the ghosts. Alas, I found the framelet for this set!!!

Halloween Treat Holders

Ok, so I made these little things a couple of years ago and sort of forgot about them. They are so easy to make. I started with 6x6 card stock and scored at 2 inches from all 4 sides. Then on the corners I scored diagonally to make the folds to crease in. Sounds crazy but try it, it works. I punched holes in all the folded in corners and added ribbon to hold them together. These make another great option for candy and goodies for co-workers/friends.

Halloween Cup Treats

I got this tutorial from Becky Roberts with Inking Idaho. It was so fun I had to go and order the little cups then tear up a cup to make a pattern to recover the cups. I am filling one with candy corn and the other one with peanuts. Mix and make your own Pay Day candy.

To cover my cups I used: Motley Monsters DSP with matching Tangelo Twist card stock for the cup holder. I stamped some monsters using the Freaky Friends stamp set.

Trick or Treat

This will be my Halloween card for my 5 year old grandson. He will love it for the $ that will be in it. Plus, who doesn't like getting mail when they are a kid? What kind of cards are you sending?
