Pink Thanksgiving

So I challenged the LUFP DT to create Pink cards for the upcoming holidays. Esther created the cutest pink Turkey card and this is my Pink Thanksgiving card. I embossed the background with a roller stamp I got at Marshall's for 3 buckaroos. Great deal since it came with a brayer and two harvest designs.  I followed a tutorial by Angie to create the weaved wreath.  It took me several tries but I finally got it.


Last Call:

¡feliz navidad! - LC Stamp of the Week

 Latina Crafter's stamp of the week is "Outline ABC":


I first lightly penciled a line for alignment of the letters, used a glue pen and sprinkled on the green glitter.  I embossed the second layer; added a wide ribbon I purchased at Michael's for a buck.  The stars were clearance from last season...a nice final touch!

I also used the same set to create my title on my Day 4 of Gratitude:
Please visit LC's blog and check out what my DT sisters created with the same stamp set.

Giving thanks

Here's another Thanksgiving card using a free digital image from Sassy Studio Designs.  They offer a free digital image every Friday in their Paper Craft Planet group.  Sassy Studio also has a Guest Designer call for December click here for the details.

I used my first ever MS border punch to enter the Fancy Edges challenge.  I'm also entering a fun challenge, No Pattern Paper.  Pretty happy how the card turned out.  The sentiment is by Latina Crafter, translation, Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving - Guest Designer

I am thrilled to be Guest Designing for 3 Girl Jam today!!  I got the most beautiful hand-dyed ribbon to play with; Harvest Orange and Sunflower.

I used the Harvest Orange my card, but you'll be seeing the Sunflower on a upcoming project very soon.  The paper is by My Mind's Eye, All Spice.  The stamped image and sentiment from Latina Crafter.  This is the first time I used a stamp and die combo....I'm in love! I used the "Labels para Navidad" stamp set with matching die and "Dando Gracias" for the sentiment, which translates to "Happy Thanksgiving".

There's still time to enter 3 Girl Jam's challenge #6, Use the Sketch & Ribbon:
Thank you 3 Girl Jam for allowing me to design with your beautiful ribbon!!
