Challenge: Giving Thanks

November 5 - 11, 2013

We want to Give Thanks for all the wonderful things in out lives.

Hi everyone, Doris here today to share a fun little Thank You card.

I don't know about you, but I like to keep a few Thank You cards made and ready to grab when I need them, and when I got the Many Thanks stamp set from Paper Smooches, I knew it would be a new favorite to use over and over again. I paired that up with some paper pieces from the Bazzill Autumn Harvest paper pad to make this thank you card for my stash.

 

This stamp set is on sale right now in the Cuttin' and Stampin' store you can find right HERE!

Thanks for playing along we will be announcing the winners on November 15, 2013.

Challenge:  Giving Thanks

November 5 - 11, 2013

We want to Give Thanks for all the wonderful things in out lives.

Hello Everyone, This is Tammy with Life - Up, Down and Sideways.  I can't even begin to list all the wonderful things I'm thankful for and take for granted in my life.  The most important is Family and Friends.  I really don't know what I would do without them.  

So here's a card I created to send to a friend.  I hope she knows how much I appreciate her love and support. 

I started with the Bazzill Autumn Harvest Paper Collection, coordinating solid card stock and some of the Lickety Slip cards.  I created a pocket on the front of the card and slipped the two cards into it. 

I used the Paper Smooches Wise Die Thanks on the front.  I wanted a shadow for the word, but the die cut didn't offer one.  So when I set up my cuttin' sandwich I placed the brown piece of cardstock between the die and the A plate.  This created a good embossed shadow that I was able to fussy cut out.  I then covered the word with Glossy Accents and tied a piece of jute around the bottom.

Here's a look at the inside of the card.  I wanted to bring out the blue in the pattern paper, but I think I overwhelmed it instead.  The stamped sentiment is from the Paper Smooches Many Thanks stamp set.  The Fall on the side is from the top of one of the Lickety Slip cards.  I just love these journalling cards that come in both 3x4 and 4x6 sizes.  

We have the Paper Smooches Many Thanks Stamp Set and Thanks die on special this week for $16.40.  This includes shipping to any US address.  Check out the SHOP page for more details.

Weekly Challenge #44 - Tuesday

Challenge:  Giving Thanks

November 5 - 11, 2013

Now that Halloween has passed, we can turn our attention to enjoying the remainder of the fall season and (for Americans) plan for our annual focus on giving thanks.  As papercrafters, we have so much to be thankful for... lots of inspiration, beautiful colors, and a wonderful community of stampers and scrappers to share it all with!

I wanted to share something fairly easy to accomplish and that would be appropriate for either gender to send or receive.  I started with the color scheme from the Bazzill Basics line called "Autumn Harvest".  From that line, I used the plaid paper and the dotted paper is actually from one of their decorated journaling cards.  Then I used the notebook paper die and the thanks word die from Paper Smooches, and finished the sentiment with their Many Thanks stamp set.  To age it a bit, the edges are all inked with Chestnut Roan chalk ink from ClearSnap. 

 

Even if you can't think of a thank-you card that you need right now, you'll no doubt need one soon.  Why not join us and make one, so you will have one on-hand next time you have someone you need to thank?
