Blessings

Hi Everyone,

One of my favorite fall stamps from the DRS Designs catalog is Framed Thanksgiving Greetings. I just love the images in those frames!  So I decided to pair them up with the new Blessing For You Thanksgiving Greeting.

I stamped, colored and fussy cut those little pictures, and attached them onto an embossed background with autumn words.

I stamped the greeting, die cut it and added some yellow and green inking.  To give the greeting a space to land, I added a strip of scrap orange paper embellished with a striped ribbon. 

Thanks for visiting the blog today!

Thanksgiving Blessings

 

Hi Everyone,

I have a fall themed card, that was made into a Thanksgiving card by using a holiday greeting. Sometimes I just make the card, and wait until I need it for a specific occasion and then add a greeting.  

I began by stamping the Simply Pumpkin, masking it and then stamping the Wagon Wheel.  This made it look like the pumpkin was in front.  I colored it up and attached a punched border, along with a bit of ric rac.  I stamped the top portion of the base using the Open Leaf stamp and then attached the image on top.

The Blessings for You Thanksgiving Greeting was die cut and matted, and I stamped another leaf on top.

Thanks for stopping by!

Autumn & Birthdays

Hi Everyone,

Even though it's so warm outside and doesn't feel like October here, I'm celebrating fall with my card share today.

I have a love of hot drinks, so I made a fall themed coffee cup that I paired with a cheerful greeting.

The cup and die cut embellishments were layered onto a woven, scarf themed background.

Here are the stamps I used:

Woven Plaid

4 in 1 Harvest Designs

Paper Coffee Cup

Autumn in the Air Greeting

"Brew"tiful Day Greeting

I needed a quick birthday card, so I took inspiration from this card and simply used monkeys instead of cats, along with a fun greeting that I split in half.

Here inside is the rest of the greeting and another monkey :)

Here are those stamps:

Michelle Monkey

Walk on the Wild Side Birthday Greeting

Oktoberfest and Thanksgiving

  Hi Everyone,

My first card is a nod to my German heritage!  I'm a first generation American and once September rolls around, all the clubs here in the Cleveland area start with their Oktoberfest celebrations.  I'm not even joking when I say my dad, LITERALLY goes to ALL of them.  Me?  I've never been to one.  Even one time.  Anyway, I'm celebrating with my card today!

The background was made to look like the German flag and I stamped a row of Small Beer Mugs, doing a bit of masking to make the line, and the new Brew-tiful Day Greeting was a perfect completion to the card.

Here I paired the new Tipsy Turkey image and the Get Basted Greeting.  I can't help but think of the college students that all come home for Thanksgiving, and gather for a reunion night on that Wednesday with their friends.

And since I had the Small Beer Mug stamp still on my table from the last card, I added it for embellishment here too. 

Cheers to you and a happy autumn season and whatever holidays you celebrate!

Cheers!
