Thankful leaves

This month on CCEE Stampers part of the design team are celebrating Thanksgiving, so we are making Thankful cards.

Create a card or project with a thankful theme ~ bonus points for adding a leaf/leaves on your card!

I found the designer paper in my stash along with a magazine that I have had for awhile. Inside the magazine was a free embossing folder and leaf dies. Using the colours in the designer paper for inspiration I created the inlay die cut leaves. And added the Lawn Fawn sentiment.

Supplies:

Lawn Fawn Thanks die

Papercraft essentials issue 177 including the Hot of the Press embossing folder and leaf die falling leaves.

C4C338 Thankyou

Hello Everyone,

 Barbara is back as hostess for the last challenge of May on the Crazy for Challenges.

The end of May signals the end of the school year in the US. Let's make a teacher thank you card this week. If you don't have a use for a teacher thank you card feel free to make a generic thank you card instead.

I decided  to make a general thank you card. A while ago I purchased this Tattered Lace die set, I usually make a square step card so it was fun to make this circle card.

 The card folds nice and flat for postage although it is a large size envelope.

Supplies: 

Stamps: Stampendous - tea cup, Penny Black - senntiment

Tattered Lace - circle stepper die, spellbinders circles, copic pens.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the “Crazies” cards over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and also their individual blogs for more details.

Brewed Beer

My Daughter works in a craft beer brew house and one of the customers bought in his sample brew for them to try after work. This is the thank you card we designed together, I know exactly how I wanted the inside of the card to look like but the front was another matter. With Kait's great photoshop skills she created some panels for the card front.

 I have used the Karen Bruniston designed pop n cut coffee mug (from when Karen designed for Sizzix. Karen now designs for Elizabeth craft designs) and changed it into a Beer Mug.

After cutting the mug in brown card I then die cut a mug out of acetate and embossed and attached it to the card. Then cut another mug out of designer paper removing the mug and used the rest of it for a backing sheet.  The foaming bubbles and the sentiment panel were cut with Elizabeth craft design dies.


Supplies:
Sizzix - Thinlits grid works, pop n cut mug,pop n cut base plate
Elizabeth Craft Designs - Lucy Label, bathtub pop stand
words- rub ons, acetate, distressed inks. designer paper

Go pink for your support

October is one of our biggest charity months, whether it is golf charity days or the biggest morning teas or even just buying a product that has the charity label, everybody tries to do their big to raise funds for Breast Cancer Research. 

 I have made a few cards for my Daughter to give to a friend who is hosting a market day.

This card was made using the Sizzix pop n 'cut  square card base and labels are from the sizzix wavy labels set.

 The ribbon and text is from Stampendous and the bra stamp is from Art Impressions, the insert designer paper was cut with the spellbinders borderabilities die.

 This card base was made by using the Sizzix pop n' cut base available from Stampin up.

 Again I have used the spellbinders borderabilities die on the designer paper. The text for this card is one that comes with the bra stamp.

Golfing Thankyou

I have had a wonderful time golfing this month and have managed to come home with prizes every time I have played. Of course on sponsored days it is rather nice to send special thanks for the trophy.
I have used this weeks sketch from Taylored expressions sketch challenge TESC125
I used my nestabilities to cut ou the circles and the cuttlebug embossing folder tiny bubbles to make them look like golf balls.
It is rather hard to find golf stamps for ladies as it is reconized as a male sport, I even googled women golf stamps and only came up with one image that was more suited to a comedy card , not excatly what I was after. So I have used this little golf ball hiding its eyes and coloured the tee pink as the sponsor was female.
I like how it turned out a quick and simple card and by changing the colour of the tee it will also be suitable for a male card.
Supplies:
Stamps: Clearstamps www.sullivan.com
Paper: designer paper: white & green card
Other: brads, copics, ds & foam tape ,cuttlebug eb, neastabilities circle
