Thanksgiving Day

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving! I'm looking forward to Family time this afternoon including visiting my Dad in the nursing home - he is always greatly missed at home but especially on the Holidays. Then onto my Brother and SIL's for more great company and some amazingly delicious food. Calorie restraint might be hard today - Thanksgiving is one of my FAV feasts! So much to be Thankful for. 

I'm also Thankful to have a great crew at work. To show them how grateful I am for them I made a bunch of cards using Lawn Fawn's Shadow Box Die. These box cards are so adorable and fold to fit in a standard sized envelope. I made twelve of these cards for my awesome co-workers. Here's a peek at some the cards.

A close up of one of the boxes.

These were so fun and easy to put together thanks to the Shadow Box Card Die, which can be used for any occasion. 

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you all a blessed and grateful Thanksgiving!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 14 - Happy Little Critters

Hello. I'm back today with another card based on the current challenge over on the 

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge Blog. The current challenge is to use Lawn Fawn's ADORABLE critters on a paper craft project. How easy is that! So many critters to choose from. 

I stayed in the Fall/Thanksgiving theme when I created my card. I combined several sets of Lawn Fawn Stamps an Dies and here's what I created. 

I love the new Stitched Hillside Backdrop Die. It's a great base to create a scene on a card. I layered puffy cloud borders to add dimension without making my card too thick. 

Here's a close up of the adorable mice.

5 for 5 Blog Hop Event: Thanksgiving - Day 5

I'm happy to say that the 5 for 5 Gang is back with another fun Blog Event. Who is the 5 for 5 gang you ask? Well, we are 5 crafty friends getting together and creating 5 Holiday themed projects for 5 consecutive days. Our last Blog Event was Halloween 2015, so we are so excited to be back!! We have a blast creating projects for you and inspiring you to create along with us!! We use whatever we have in our stash and just have fun!

Welcome to Day 5, our last day of the 5 for 5 Blog Hop Event. The event runs from November 9th to November 13th and is Thanksgiving inspired.

Well, I'm kinda sad that this is my last post for this blog hop event. This has been such a fun, creative week and we love sharing our holiday inspired ideas with you.

Today's theme is TEXTURE! I made a mixed media card with tons of texture on it. I started with a stencil and modeling paste and then blended some distress inks over the dried modeling paste. Then I created some cool textured leaves. I die cut leaves from Distress watercolor cardstock and water colored then with distress ink. Then I added some clear rock candy to give the leaves a crackle look. I added some twine and a gold embossed sentiment on vellum. Here's my card ...

I love the clear rock candy effect - here's a close up of the leaves...

Please stop by the rest of the designers blogs and check out their awesome projects.

Welcome to Day 4 of our latest 5 for 5 Blog Hop Event. The event runs from November 9th to November 13th and is Thanksgiving inspired.  

 

Today's theme is TURKEY, of course! I had to use the absolutely adorable Lawn Fawn Turkey Day stamp and die set for my card. I used a Project Life card from November's Noel Mignon Daily Diary kit and placed it on top of a Lawn Fawn notecard. Then I stamped the turkey and some leaves from the Lawn Fawn Stitched Leaves set onto Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock and colored them with alcohol markers and distress inks. Here's my card ...

 

 

 

 

I added some Distress Glitter Dust to the tips of his feathers for some added sparkle.

Welcome to Day 3 of our latest 5 for 5 Blog Hop Event. The event runs from November 9th to November 13th and is Thanksgiving inspired.

 Today's theme is SENTIMENTS ONLY. I will admit - I struggled with this one. I over-thinked, as usual LOL! Then, I kept it simple. I had a partially done tag and simply added the word "today" which I ran through my Minc Machine. I used gold foil and the shine is stunning.

 

I added some ribbons and done! Please stop by and check out the designers projects today and all week.

Welcome to Day 1 of our latest 5 for 5 Blog Hop Event. The event runs from November 9th (today) to November 13th and is Thanksgiving inspired.  

 

 

 

Each day we will base our projects on a theme. Today's theme is WATERCOLORS.  I created a card using the ADORABLE Lawn Fawn "Thankful Mice" stamps and die set. I thought I would create a tree of cheese and have the adorable mice next to the tree. Here's my card ...

I stamped and die cut several cheeses from Distress Watercolor Cardstock and water colored them with Distress Inks. I water colored the background and the mice with Distress Inks also. For some sparkle I dotted glossy accents onto the sky and sprinkled glitter on them while they were wet.

Here's a close up of the water coloring ...

The star is from Tim Holtz Idea-ology Mirrored Stars and I used Mushroom Alcohol Ink to color it.
Please be sure to sop by all the 5 for 5 designer's blogs today and check out the fun Thanksgiving projects! Hopefully we will inspire you to create some Thanksgiving projects to give or keep for yourself!!
