Thankful for You

Hello everyone!

If you celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope this finds you blessed and not stressed with the upcoming holiday on reflecting what we are thankful for!

I was hosting then I wasn't hosting Thanksgiving dinner, so I am grateful for wonderful friends having us over and picking up the slack.  I wanted to show my appreciation for having us over and my bag of goodies wouldn't be complete if I didn't throw a little something that was sprinkled with a crafty handmade touch.

Well I am always short on time these days, so I pretty much cased myself from a few years ago. No need to reinvent the wheel right?

5 Tags created in an assembly line to embellish some yummy treats.  Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine helped package these treats up nicely along with some ribbon and raffia I had in my stash.

I thank you for stopping by and visiting me! I am thankful for you!  I don't get crafty much these days, so it makes me feel good when I can and I love sharing with you! Working full-time and commuting along with a year long baseball schedule limits my blog hopping time and commenting, but I do peek at all your work! You inspire me!

I am going to share at Crafty Hazel Nuts - November use patterned paper challenge, Cardsz TV - Anything Goes.

Have a blessed and wonderful day!

Trendy Twine - Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Turkey Day Friends!

I hope you have a day that is blessed with family and friends as you reflect on what you have to be thankful for. 

Now on to my silly card. A few of the Design Team gals at Trendy Twine are doing a group post today.

I say silly card because I created a Pilgrim squirrel with googly eyes and a button nose! 

I started with my favorite Brown Kraft Coverweight cardstock for the base. I layered some various patterned papers that were on my desk from previous makes. I added four brads to the corners. Talk about dusting off those old supplies.:)

 

I took a length of Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine and wrapped it around the brown gingham patterned paper several times and tied in a triple bow embellishing with a brown button and a stamped tag using APB- Hello Fall Planner Stamps.  

I used my Cricut and the Create A Critter 2 cartridge to cut this adorable squirrel.  I couldn't resist giving him some funny googly eyes and a button nose.

Trendy Twine -Thanksgiving Nugget Treats

Hey!

It's my turn to post some goodies on the Trendy Twine Blog. I am featuring some Thanksgiving Nugget Treats featuring APB - Hello Fall Planner Stamp Set and Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine.

 

 I created the box using my Cameo and a file from the Silhouette Store - I decorated the box before assembling using the APB - Hello Fall Planner Stamp Set.  I did this for 8 boxes. 

 

I stamped the fall inspired greetings along the side and end of the box, and did the same on the bottom incorporating the images from the set. 

After assembling the holder and adding patterned paper to the nuggets, I created a tag to add to the treat which I used Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine to tie it together embellishing with a little jingle bell.

How cute are these stamps?  Stop by the Boutique and grab these goodies to make your own treats!

Hello Fall {The Kraft Journal}

Hello Friends!

How are you doing on this fine Fall day? 

For this week's Take Your Pick Challenge at The Kraft Journal, I chose: Turkey, Stamped, Top Fold, Seam Binding, Doily, and Orange. 

I began the card with a base of Light Kraft Cover Weight cardstock onto which I adhered the pieced fall pattern papers. I placed a White Doily, now carried at The Kraft Outlet to the middle of the card front. 

Using Light Kraft Cover Weight cardstock,  a stitched rectangle die was created for the main focal panel. I stamped and paper pieced the turkey and pumpkin to the center adding a stamped sentiment. Lastly, I created a fussy bow from Hand Stained Bias Tape (Seam Binding) which I embellished with a fall leaf button tucking in some Prima fall leaves under the ribbon treatment for added embellishment. 

Here is the Take Your Pick graphic. 

Please be sure to head over to the The Kraft Journal to check out the projects by the other talented ladies.  We hope to see your Take Your Pick creations in the gallery this week for your chance to be featured on our "Feature me Friday" post as well as be entered to win a $15.00 gift voucher from The Kraft Outlet store.

 

Have a great week!

Trendy Twine - 2 x 2 Thanksgiving Gift Packaging

Hello!

It's my day to post over on the Trendy Twine Blog today, and I am featuring Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine and the 2x2x2 Kraft Boxes. They come 10 to a pack.  They are easy to assemble, and perfect for so many uses. How cute would these be as 3 dimensional place cards? You could put candy in them, or a small gift. I am going to use mine as a gift box.

 I trimmed the front of the box with Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine trying off in a double bow. I decorated the front with a cute stamped Turkey image.

 

I added some patterned paper lined with a complimentary scallop square to the top. I stamped Thankful for you in the center.

 

I added Natural Jute Ribbon to the back and sides of the box. I took Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine and embellished the jute ribbon adding a few buttons laced with more Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine.

 Here is what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:

Good Monday All!

This week the challenge at The Kraft Journal is "Blessings". I had a sentiment from WPlus9 Stamps that was used as my starting point for my card this week.

I started with a card base of Buff Ivory Cardstock onto which I layered a brown piece of patterned paper where next I added layers of fall inspired patterned papers to complete the foundation. 

I took a length of Bias Tape and wrapped it around the card front and tied in a bow which I embellished with a fall leaf button. Using Buff Ivory Cardstock, I made four different die-cuts, one for the sentiment, one the postage square, then the pumpkin, and leaf. I inked the edges with Vintage Photo. 

Before assembling, I took Brown Kraft Baker's Twine and added to the postage square tying off in a double bow. My last bit of embellishing was adding a paper rose to the center of the pumpkin. 

Please be sure to head over to the The Kraft Journal to check out the projects by the other talented ladies.  We hope to see your Blessings creations in the gallery this week for your chance to be featured on our "Feature me Friday" post as well as be entered to win a $15.00 gift voucher from The Kraft Outlet store.

TKJ - Happy Thanksgiving

Good Day!

We have a Thanksgiving challenge at The Kraft Journal this week. It's a good challenge to jump start those greeting cards and projects for the occasion.

 

I began my card using Buff Ivory Cardstock onto which I layered a stamped woodgrain panel made from Brown Kraft Cardstock. I added a panel of patterned paper to center adding a scallop border to the top and bottom of that decorative paper. I die-cut a circle tag from Brown Kraft Cardstock and stamped the Cornucopia image and Happy Thanksgiving greeting  (both DeNami Design) to the center coloring in with copic markers. A button laced with Earthy Hemp Cord anchored a brown grosgrain ribbon to the top of the tag.

Lastly, I added a sunflower and fall leaves to the bottom part of the tag to complete this Thanksgiving Greeting.

Please be sure to head over to the The Kraft Journal to check out the projects by the other talented ladies.  We hope to see your Thanksgiving creations in the gallery this week for your chance to be featured on our "Feature me Friday" post as well as be entered to win a $15.00 gift voucher from The Kraft Outlet store.

Hello Fall with the New APB Stamps

Hi Everyone!

I am over on the Trendy Twine Blog today, and I am super duper excited to share with you the NEW Annie's Paper Boutique Planner stamp set called Hello Fall!!!

As you see from my card below, they can be used for more things than planners. I plan on giving this set a lot of use this fall.  I love to make treats for the holidays, and I know I will be incorporating this set in my fall treat packaging.

I stamped the four images that come in the set onto white cardstock and colored in using copics.  I also used the images to create my own patterned paper by stamping the images with a watermark ink onto kraft cardstock. I took a length of Thanksgiving Orange Truffle and wrapped it around several times to add visual interest and texture.

I added more Thanksgiving Orange Truffle by creating a double bow which I added to the ribbon treatment at the top of my circular tag. I used a trinket pin to hang my Give Thanks sentiment. Lastly, I added my die-cut pumpkin and flower embellishments to complete my card.

A Thanksgiving card!

Hello Friends~

I have a quick card to share with you! I never got a chance to make as many Thanksgiving cards as I wanted this year with so much going on. This will be the last one, and hopefully on it's way by the time this is posted.  I know the lighting isn't great...one of those late night crafting sessions, and one of my light bulbs blew out, so that didn't help. :-(

I used My Creative Time A Thankful Heart stamps and dies. The Pumpkin is from a Sizzix die I have had for ages. The frame around the sentiment is from Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More also from My Creative Time.

Inspiration was found at: My Creative Time's current Designer challenge.

I think I am most happy that I used up more scraps. Although the piles never seem to thin. :)

I hope you have a GREAT day!

Fall Treats Gift Basket {Trendy Twine}

Good Saturday Morning! 

I have a little Fall gift basket to share with you this morning that I made for the Trendy Twine Blog featuring some awesome Orange Truffle Trendy Twine.

I put together a little gift basket that has some yummy apple butter that I picked up at a local pumpkin patch. I added a piece of fall patterned paper to the top to dress it up and wrapped a piece of Orange Truffle Trendy Twine before placing it in my basket surrounded by yummy Hershey Kisses and Rolos. I also added a cute orange pumpkin scrubby behind the jar. 

For the bag topper, I die-cut a large label using one of my Spellbinders dies from patterned paper.  The turkey is from a file in the Silhouette Store. I gave Mr. Turkey a little twine bow. :-) Rather than use the face that came with the file, I used a face from Peachy Keen Stamps Critter Faces. Sometimes it's just faster to stamp a face than paper piece. :-)

The pumpkins, Sign and Sentiment are all from Jaded Blossom. As you can see, that sign is just adorbs trimmed in that awesome Orange Truffle Trendy Twine.

Why don't you check out our current Fall Foliage Challenge and play along with us. You can read about it here.  It's an awesome way to win some more Trendy Twine! Yay! Now who doesn't want that???
