Thanksgiving Cards

Ok, How come I thought I would have more time when school started and I was home more often..that is not the case with a 4th, 7th & 9th grader left at home. Lol  I have had some time to make some Thanksgiving cards I will share with you in bulk.  I will try to come back later and fill in some information but if I do not and you have any questions, just post them in the comments and I will answer as soon as I can!

Glamorous Birthday

My daughter needed a card for a friend and her only request was lots of sparkle.  I thought this fit the request.  I am a hoarder when it comes to my glimmer paper (but yet I love to use it!).  So the glimmer paper behind the card front I cut the center out of so I could use it elsewhere.  I randomly stamped the flowers on the front and then ran it through the Bigshot.  I not only sponged around the out side but did a few swipes across the top.  The sentiment is popped up on dimensionals.  It is also embossed in silver.

Trees

Well, I looked it up when I got this set out.  I bought it in 2001.  So I have had it for just about 12 years and it is still a very popular set.  Here I embossed the image in black and sponged some color here and there.  I ran the thin edge of the marker along one side of each tree to bring the brown together.  Since Early Espresso came out I have made that my go to brown.  I need to place an order and decided to spare my EE and go back to using more Chocolate Chip.  It still works just fine ;-)

Blocked Birthday

My schedule has been pretty busy and the whole household is dealing with runny noses and coughs.  I got the chance late last night to do the Sketch challenge but not until now to post it.  I thought this would be a fun guys birthday card.  I used some scraps of one of my favorite DSP. Very Simple, very quick card to make.

Wedding Couple

Boy are there a lot of weddings this summer!  I have wanted to do a card like this for a long time.  Since I bought the Dress Up Framelit I could now put my idea to a try.  To do the dress I just cut numerous sections of the bottom portion and glued them behind.  After it was all glued together I ran it through the Big Shot with the embossing folder. The man's shirt and suit collars was made with the Pennant Punch, even the side tie sections.  I do not have a punch small enough to do the circle for the tie so I used my Crop-a-dile (the big side). The flowers are much prettier in person.  They do have Dazzling Diamonds in them so they have a nice sparkle.  The dress was also sprayed with a bit of sparkle to give it a bit of a shimmer.  To do the tux buttons, I just colored them with a black sharpie marker.  I used a couple of Dimensionals behind the sentiment.

Zig Zag Moose

I love sketch challenges.  It gives me such a jump start on a design.  This Moose is so easy to use.  He does not need to be colored, he stands on his own,

Calypso Floral

The Clay is s so great to work with.  When I first got my order in I was just home from the hospital and the surgery had taken all of my energy. I had these new toys just begging to be worked with.  So I had my 11 yr old daughter do what I wanted to do step by step.  She had great flowers and buttons the first try.    I think I could use Calypso every day!

Wedding Heart Ring

I wanted to do a card with layers of hearts.  I lined up the Framelits and cut the card front.  I then embossed the floral across the front  and pulled out every other heart.  The front and the hearts are popped up on dimensionals.  This card is a combo of old and new.The Tiny Tags is retiring the end of the month but the Label Love set and the clay flowers are in the new catalog. I am in love with the clay flowers (and buttons).  They are flexible and easy to make how you want them.  They can be colored or glittered (like I did here)  You will see them a lot on up-coming cards!

Sketch Challenge Sneak Peak

My pre-order from the new catalog came in yesterday. One of the great perks of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!!  So being that I am going in for surgery tomorrow and I do not know when I will have the opportunity to stamp for a while I had to get up early this morning and play with my new toys. I am always in need of manly cards and I though this new set would cover that basis.  The lighter brown is one of the new In Colors and it is called Baked Brown Sugar. You know I love, love, love punches and just had to get a couple of the new ones.  Off to take my kids to band and go through my new catalog once again and work on my ever growing wish list.
