Happy Turkey Day!

This cute little Thanksgiving card uses the stamp set Gift Givers from the Holiday Mini.  This stamp set is so versatile as it coordinates with several of Stampin' Up's punches and features several holidays.  This little turkey image fits the Curly Label Punch, one of my personal favorites.  I punched a piece of More Mustard cardstock and cut it in half to layer behind the Naturals Ivory layer.  I used my bone folder to emboss the criss-cross pattern on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Island Indigo cardstock folded in half.  I used Linen Thread to accent the card, also.

Stamps:  Gift Givers
Ink:  Basic Black, Island Indigo, More Mustard, Poppy Parade, Chocolate Chip, Pear Pizzaz, Pumpkin Pie
Cardstock:  Naturals Ivory, More Mustard, Island Indigo
Accessories:  Bone Folder, Curly Label Punch, Linen Thread, Needle, Stampin' Dimensionals

Happy Thanksgiving... Part 2

Here is another Thanksgiving card I made using the Holiday Mini catalog stamp set Always Thankful.  Since the image was of pears I thought I should use the In Color Pear Pizzazz.  I really like this color combo... Pear Pizzaz with Soft Suede.  I distressed the edges of both the Soft Suede and Naturals Ivory layers.  However, I turned the distressed edges down toward the card base and attached with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stamps:  Always Thankful
Ink:  Basic Black, More Mustard, Pear Pizzaz, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake
Cardstock:  Pear Pizzaz, Soft Suede, Naturals Ivory

Happy Thanksgiving... Part 3

This Thanksgiving card again features the stamp set Always Thankful from the Holiday Mini catalog.  I distressed the edges of the Naturals Ivory layer with my bone folder.  I also used my bone folder to emboss the criss-cross pattern on the Soft Suede card base.  I really like the added effect!
