Thankful

Welcome friends! Mindy here, with my sample card for this weeks card challenge at Classy Cards 'n Such.  This week's theme is #109 Gobble-Gobble, because Thanksgiving is just around the corner. There are many things I am thankful for, especially the many followers of our blog and newsletter.

I started today's card with an embossing folder that is NEW at the Classy Cards store. It is the Braided Vines embossing folder by Sue Wilson, and is one of the larger sized folders, 8.5" X 12". The only problem I had was my machine is one of the smaller models and the folder was too big to fit. I am planning to get a new machine soon with the larger plate, so I decided to use the folder in a different way. I opened it and applied my ink on the raised side, then stamped the image on my background stock. I then inked around the edge before adhering to my card base.

I then die cut a stitched oval and used Joy! Small Foam pads to adhere it to my card.

I then cut two Classic Tom Turkeys, from Memory Box, and a handful of leaves from the Small Leaf Set by Impression Obsession.  I colored the small leaves with many colors from the Complete set of Earth Tone Color Bursts from Ken Oliver Crafts, on watercolor paper, then adhered them with Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive.

The sentiment used was from the I Am Thankful stamp set from Impression Obsession, and I added a few hand-cut sequins from the Sequins Die-namics die from My Favorite Things.

I hope you have enjoyed my card, and will join us for our challenge this week.

Autumn Shaker

Hi there, Diane with you today!

Here we are at the first of November and soon it will be

turkey time! Which brings us to our fun challenge #109 this week at Classy Cards 'n Such, with a theme of Gobble Gobble, add a turkey!

I first started by using the Ken Oliver Color Bursts puffed on a wet piece of water color paper (the smoother side).

Colors used were Yellow Ochre, Pthalo Green, Sepia, and Burnt Orange, in that order.

I used my heat tool to dry the paper, then cut out three turkey feather sections using PoppyStamps Festive Turkey. Joy! Small Foam Pads were used to pop up each of the three layers. Here is a side view of the layers.

Once the turkey was finished (time to eat...lol). I decided to make a shaker card. I used a Spellbinders Basic Circle die and used the negative cut from that.

I cut a clear piece of plastic I recycled from packaging and using Scor-Tape 1/4", I adhered it to the card stock negative.

I stamped a row of trees, added foam tape then sequins for the shaker. However, I didn't have any sequins in all the colors I wanted for fall, so I quickly grabbed My Favorite Things Sequins die, and die cut my own from Yellow Iris Shimmer Sheetz and Orange Iris Shimmer Sheetz.

Friends

Hi, Diane with you today. This week our challenge theme is Squirrel-y Friends. We were to make a friend card, with the option of adding a squirrel/bird.

I stamped a sentiment from JustRite Seeds of Summer stamp set, thinking it was a perfect friendship message.

I used two of the six dies from the Sue Wilson Kefalonia Greek Collection, popping the outer edge up.

The branch is Impression Obsession Pine Branch. After adding a few branches from Memory Box Meadowbird Branch, I used a Snow Marker to add puffs of snow. I am sure you have seen me use this before. If you are not familiar with it, you just dab it on, heat it with a heat gun and it puffs up, adding snowy dimension.

I also added a bird from the same Meadowbird Branch set. Here is a closeup of the bird.

To finish I cut a birdhouse from Impression Obsession Birdhouse set, and a squirrel from Impression Obsession Squirrel set.

A few gold sequins were added to finish. Make your own sequins using the Sequins die listed below. There are also Foil papers in the CCNS store, so make a bunch in any color you want!!
