Thanksgiving Card

This Thanksgiving card was made with Stretch Your Imagination. I cut the turkey out at 3 inches. I cut him out several times to get the different colors. I used a google eye and a white gel pen for accent. The "Give Thanks" is a Studio G stamp in the $ bin at Michaels. I stamped it on white cardstock and uesd Glaze Pens to add color. I inked the edges and places 2 brads on one side. The paper is scrapes that were in my scrap box. Enjoy!

Spirelli Thanksgiving Card

I was looking at blogs today and came across Capadia Designs blog and saw her spirelli designs. She posted she used Accent Essentials. I used design 6 since you don't have todo anything to it. She has others but you need design studio for them. I tried this at 2 inches. I used varigated floss and really like the way it turned out. The rest of the card I used Stretch Your Imagination for the leaves cut at 2 inches. The turkey is also from that cartridge cut at 1 1/4 inches. The paper is scrapes left on my table. I used Fiskars border punch. I used gold shiny paper for the turkey and leaves. I wanted a spirelli punch for ages and have never been able to find one. Now I'm glad I didn't find one. This has so many possibilities with changing sizes. Can't wait to try more. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Face Card

For this card I used Stretch Your Imagination Cartridge. I cut the pumpkin out at 3 1/2 inches on blackout. I also cut the layers. I drew the face on the pumpkin and I used chalk to make the lines in the pumpkin. I used green stickles for the vine and cinnamon stickles for the stem. The ribbon is just a left over piece on my table. The pumpkin border is a studio G halloween stamp and the saying on the top is from that same set. I embossed the black cardstock with Fiskars texture plate (Dots). Inked the edges with Chalk ink (Green Moss). Enjoy!

Colors of Fall Card

For this card I used Stretch Your Imagination. The leaves were cut at 1 inch and the squirrel was cut at 2 1/2 inches. I cut the whole layer with grey cardstock and the acorn I cut in 2 different browns. I inked everything with brown ink and went around the edge of the squirrel with a fine tip brown marker. I used pop-dots to layer the acorn and the top of the acorn. The leaves were cut with red,yellow, orange and green cardstock. I used a green pattern paper on one side and an orange paper on the other side and cut one edge with the tresding water fiskars punch. I put goggle eyes on the squirrel and red, yellow, orange and green stickles on the leaves. The wording is computer generated using Die Cuts with a View Quote Reference Book 1 with CD. Enjoy!

The top frame was cut at 3.75 inches and the bottom frame was cut at 4.25 inches. I put pop-dots behide the smaller frame to give dimension. I ran the frames through the Big Shot and used a Fiskars texture plate "Dots" to give the frame texture. I inked the edges with Chestnut Roan Chalk Ink. I went around the edges of the lettering with a glitter pen. The pattern paper is from a paper pack from Provo Craft. The card is 8.5x5.5. Enjoy!

Using My Scraps

I am on a mission to use my scraps of paper from other projects before using a new sheet of paper. This card uses the scraps that were piling up on my work table. I cut the squares into 1 and 1/2 inches. Inked the edges with dark brown chalk ink. White gel pen for the stitches. The stamped images come from Studio G stamps. The flower is from the Cricut Cartridge Stretch Your Imagination and the shift key for the stretched flower. Cut it out in red paper for the base. I used green paper for the top layer. Added some doodle marks with the white gel pen to the flowers so they would show up better.
