Happy Thanksgiving!

This is a simple Thanksgiving card which I made several of this year. The shimmery cream cardstock is leftover pieces from Brian and Alli's wedding invitations. It makes a cute little 3.5" square card- a fun little size.
The background papers are DCWV Autumn Splendor Stack. I have to say that orange, blue and brown is one of my favorite color combos.
I hope that wherever you are, you're finding time to be thankful. I know I am!
Gratefully Yours,
Angel

Kids Thanksgiving Cards- CAS Style

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!
Wishing you and yours a wonderful turkey day!
I have so much to be grateful for. The day is too short to name all my blessings. But being able to stamp is surely one of them.
And so, I share. :-)
Here is a short post with the last of my Thanksgiving cards. These ones were made especially for my godchildren. They're FUN cards and once again based on Clean and Simple sketches.
Have a BLESSED Day!

CAS Thanksgiving

After Halloween, Katie and I checked out the clearance aisles at WalMart and I scored! The beautiful glittery stickers I used on these cards were 75% off and only 37 cents a package. I got some 3-D stickers for the same price too. I had my stickers and matching papers in hand and went over to the Clean and Simple blog and chose 3 FTL layouts. In about an hour or less I was finished with these cards!

I loved how the Prism Metallic cardstock matched the stickers, but I have to tell you, I had only about a 5 inch square piece and I stretched it out to use on all 3 cards!!

I edited these photos on my laptop. Now on my PC these pics appear a bit on the dark side. But on my laptop they were fine. Would love some feedback!!! Are they dark on your computer?
Blessings~

Thanksgiving "K" Card

For the most part, I keep it simple when I am making projects. So, you may be surprised to see a more complicated project here today! I made this "Swing" card or "K- Card" using the Ultimate Crafter's Companion which was the subject of the latest Splitcoast Stamper's review. The Crafter's Companion took all of the guess work out of the process and really did make it pretty easy. It even makes boxes, envelopes and bows pretty simple! I'm planning on using it a lot throughout the holidays!
I mailed this little scarecrow yesterday to someone I know will have fun playing with it!

Blessings~

Harvest Border

Taking a break from the Christmas cards... here is a Thanksgiving card!I am once again disappointed in the photography as you really can't see the DP on the bottom portion of the card. It's rust with the yellow dots and brings it together better. Oh well.
Hope you are having a blessed week!

Hello, Pumpkin!

Want some great and easy sketches?
The Clean and Simple blog is a wonderful source of card layouts.
For my "Hello Pumpkin" card I used their Fall-To layout #64- most definitely a keeper!

The pumpkin (Nestabilities) looked a little plain so I added some texture and a few "vines" by using the "Floral Accent" die.
I know just who is getting this card!

Paper~ DCWV Prescored Cards (Earth), Confetti Cream, Basic Grey's "Mellow" DP
