Thankful for You

Hello Friends

I am making a few Thanksgiving cards for family and friends.  I am using the following dies: Fall Tree, Fall Barrel, Mama and Baby Fox (just the baby).  Fall is my favorite color palette and I love sunflowers.  So I really like how this Thanksgiving card turned out.

Design Steps:

1.  Using the following dies cut them out in a variety of colored card stock.  Fall Tree (brown, red orange and yellow) Fence (white) Grass (green) Fall Barrel (sunflowers: yellow, brown and green) Mama Fox and Baby (baby fox: rust, white, black). Assemble the pieces with a fine tip glue

2.  Use a white A2 card base and cut a piece of white 4 1/8 x 5 3/8.  On the white piece blend on some blue ink to create a sky

3.  Stamp Thankful for you in black ink.  Position and glue down your trees

4.  Next glue down the fence and then the grass making sure you only put glue on the very bottom of the grass so that you can stick in the sunflowers and fox

5.  Arrange your sunflowers and glue down

6.  Add in the little fox and your card is complete

Holiday French Horn

Hi friends, it Marla and I have another Christmas card to share.  This card features the Holiday French Horn and Rustic Wreath dies.  Dimension and layers make interesting and beautifully texture cards.  I liked how both of these dies had foliage, which makes tucking in layers easy peasy.  Let me walk you through the card process.

• Die cut all of the pieces using white card stock.  Then die cut the french horn using metallic card stock.  I chose to use flat gold metallic card stock.
• Color your images using a blending brush and ink.  
• Add detail to the poinsettia layers and foliage with a Copic marker.

• Cut two pieces of white card stock to 4" x 5.25 and 3.25" x 4.75"
• Stamp the 4" x 5.25" card stock with an image of your choice.  I used a sheet music stamp.  Ink the stamp and spritz with water to get a slightly distorted image.
• Dry emboss the smaller cardstock for texture.  I used an older wood grain embossing folder.
• Adhere the sheet music layer to an A2 top folding card base.
• Add foam tape to the back of the dry embossed layer and adhere at an angle on top of the stamped layer.

• Assemble the pinecones, poinsettias and bird.  Add foam square behind the wing of the bird.
• Assemble the die cut pieces to the card front.
• Stamp the sentiment and use a fishtail die to cut out the sentiment
• Add foam tape to the back of the sentiment strip and adhere to the card front.
•                                            

Thank you for joining me today.  I have added the product links for easy shopping.  Until next time..... Marla

Design Steps:

1.  Use a black A2 card base, cut a piece of gray card stock 4 x 5 1/4 run it through a stone embossing folder and then run a blending brush with black ink lightly over the surface.  Glue the gray embossed piece to the black card base.  Next cut a piece of brown card stock 1/2 x 4 and run it through a wood grain embossing folder.  Glue it to the bottom to represent the floor

2.  To make the postion bottles use the Potions Bottles die.  I used blue vellum and a variety of colors to create the content of the bottles as shown above.  I cut the cork tops out of a cork sheet I had in my stash.  I made the shelf by running a piece of brown card stock through a wood grain embossing folder.  It measures 3 3/4 x 3/4.  I cut the shelf sides at an angle as shown above.  Glue the bottles to the shelf as shown

3.  Using the Jack-O-Lantern Witch die and cut out the pieces.  Assemble the pieces using a fine tip glue.  Arrange the cat, pumpkin and broom as shown below

4.  Add the sentiment, little ghost and the spider to complete your card
