(central time)

 

 Here is what I created for this challenge:

When I think of fall or Autumn, I think of acorns, different color leaves and the festivities that come along that time of the year like Halloween, visits to the farm for pumpkin picking, Thanksgiving, Black Friday Sales and baking. I was excited that this week's challenge theme was Autumn.

 

 I automatically thought of Thanksgiving and so I created this Thanksgiving card. My card is a 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 card standing upright. The cardstock used was Recollections and the patterned paper is from the Harvest Stack from Me & My Big Ideas. I kept this card simple. The peacock die cut and the sentiment label die cut are from S.E.I. I colored the peacock in with prisma colored pencils to bring out the autumn colors of the season. I love how this turned out!

 

My sentiment was combined by using two different stamp sets from Cardz TV Stamps. I used the stamp set "Happy Days" for the sentiment, "Happy Thanksgiving" and I used the set, "Encouraging Thoughts" for the "Blessings". I stamped the sentiments in "Vineyard Berry" ink from CTMH. To finish the card off I wrapped some twine around the card and tied it off in a knot. I hope you like!

Here is a close up of the peacock.

Cardz TV Challenge #18 "I'm So Thankful"

Happy Friday! Today starts a brand new

Cardz TV Stamps challenge!

CTVS Ch#18 "I'm So Thankful"

Starts: Friday, Nov 2nd @ 12:00 am EST

Ends: Thursday, Nov 8th @ NOON EST

Details: Create a card, layout or craft project for Thanksgiving

Prize: 1 set of Cardz TV Stamps of the winner's choice

(shop Cardz TV Stamps... HERE)

Winner (chosen by random.org) Announced: Friday, Nov 9th @ Cardz TV

Here's my "I'm So Thankful" project:

 

My card is a standard A2 card 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. The papers I used here are Bazzill and Recollection's. I used my fiskar's fall leaf punch and punched a cute border on the top and bottom of my patterned paper and added some Rock Candy distress stickles to add some shine. The Turkey is a die cut that I had in my stash for a long time and it is from Debbie Mumm. I just mounted two scalloped circles behind the turkey to give him extra feathers. I colored the outer layer of "feathers" with my copics, G21& E33. My sentiment is from the "Encouraging Thoughts" stamp set from Mary's Cardz TV! The sentiment is up on foam dimensionals. To finish off the front, I added some leaves that I had on hand with a cute brown button that I added some "Cappaccino" twine that I got from The Twinery.

 

 

Here is the inside. I followed the same papers from the front of the card and I added another brown button with twine to the top. The sentiment is from the "Happy Day's" stamp set, again from Mary's Cardz TV.

 

Oh did I forget to mention that my turkey is on an action wobble??? Here he is gobblin and a'wobblin!!!

 

I hope you all decide to give this challenge a try! Afterall, One lucky winner will receive a set of Mary's stamps! If you do not want to wait to see if you are a winner and want to purchase stamps right now, you can by clicking HERE!

Cardz TV "Bling it Up" challenge Day 2

Hi friends!
Today is day 2 of the Cardz TV Stamps Design Team Challenge #15, "Bling it Up" and I wanted to share with you this card I made using lots of glitter!!!

Front

 

Inside

 

My card base and layer are from Bazzill and the patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye.

I stamped my two leaves and pumpkin which I had purchased long ago from Michael's with my momento tuxedo black ink and colored using my copics YG61, YG67, Y15, YR02, YR04 and YR09. I ran them through my xyron X machine and then added some fine clear glitter for the sparkle and bling! They are up on foam tape for dimension. For my sentiment on the front, I used "Count your Blessings!" from Mary's Cardz TV stamp set "Encouraging Thoughts"

 

For my sentiment on the inside of the card, I used "Happy Thanksgiving" from the Happy Days stamp set

 

To finish off the card I added some ribbon and ric-rac that I had in my stash and I added some cute leave stickers around the front of the card and in the inside. I also added two button stickers to the inside. I have been trying to use up my stash and supplies that I have had forever. You know once upon a time when we bought stickers galore and punches and just things we thought we would use and then they sat there forever? Ahhh I bet you are shaking your head saying" I know what you mean" LOL  So each time I create now, I am trying to incorporate something old that I have had for ages.

 

Well guys that is all I have for you today but the "Bling it Up" challenge is on until the 27th of September so I sure hope you join this challenge! Make sure to stop on over at Cardz TV to see all the beautiful projects that my design team sisters have created!

Thanks for stopping by today!!!
