Celebrations and Thankfulness - Fall Blog Hop

Fall is such a beautiful time of the year, it’s when the leaves start changing colors and everything around us is beautiful. It is also the season of Thanksgiving, which reminds us to take a moment to reflect on all the things we are most thankful for.

So in celebration of Fall, we are hosting a Celebrations & Thankfulness Blog Hop. As you hop along with the Kraftie Kre8ations Design Team and members, we hope you will be inspired to create your own thankfulness project.

***

Welcome to our Thankfulness and Celebrations Blog Hop which started on September 12, 2013 at Kraftie Kre8ations  and my presentation is today, Saturday, September 14, 2013.  

***

 

This is a Fall card that can be used to express your thankfulness to family or friend at Thanksgiving, or to celebrate the Fall season.  

This is a basket or a gate that I created a card with my Silhouette Cameo and Studio DE software.  I duplicated the basket, removed the inner pieces and attached to the side of a card stock.  Than I cut out the basket weaving  and inserted brads on the corners of the basket front.  The pumpkins was welded to the back of the card stock, and than cut out the individual pumpkins and glued to each pumpkin piece.  I added leaves to set behind the title, and one leaf inside.  Grass was added to the edge of the basket.

Weddings

Over here at Stampin with the Dragon we was asked to create a wedding card, and I was viewing videos on youtube.com recently and came across a video to create a Gate-fold easel card, and I thought how cute.

 

With my trusty Studio DE software, I placed the image onto the mat, traced it and than printed out on cardstock.  I hand cut around the bride and groom.  Once I finished coloring the image, I placed onto a embossed card, using my swiss dot embossing folder.  I printed Congratulations and Wedding with the print and cut option.  Papers were provided by Stampin with the Dragon.  I created a bow with my easy-bow maker, and placed just under the easel card with a button placed in the center of bow.  The closure for the card is a belly-band with a label created from paper design from my Silhouette library.

Head on over here for  Amy's Wedding Day with Heart image.  And the video for this Gate-fold easel card is here.

Now who to receive this wedding card --- my brother and his soon to be wife.  

Thank you for stopping by to visit with me and blessings to all

Halloween Overlay Card

 

Good morning.  Trying to catch up on my projects, and seems like I get behinder all the time. LOL  This card is using a Halloween overlay created by Marji Reineke Franklin with Creative Kuts.  

I cut out the overlay in black on layered on a orange card.  Then I cut out the overlay again in yellow, and detached the sun and the house, and then backed the piece for lighting in the house. The sentiment, Boo, I had a small die cut that I ran thru the Big Shotz machine, 2 x's, and placed the yellow on top of a the white with foam tape to give it some dimension.  Created a Halloween card to send to a granddaughter, or may-be place in the next 'care-pkg' to my grandson at Purdue.

Thank you for stopping by to visit with me today, and hugs and blessings to all.

Happy Birthday Blog Hop

 

Color Challenge for Birthday Blog Hop September 11, 2013.  

Various shades of pink, lavender, white and other pastel colors.  Here is my photo:

 

This is considered a Twisted Easel Card, which I cut out a base 4.25x8.50, folded the main base in half, at 4.25 inches.  Than I folded the top of the folded base at a triangle, and placed a 4.25x4.25 square on, at an angle, hopefully the next picture will show what I talking about.

 

The next set is a front shot of the card...

 

Using my Stampin! Up Ink markers, Pretty Pink and Pixie Pink, I colored the dress two shades of pink.  The hair is Creamy Caramel (discontinued in 2013-14 catalog), and new colors for the gift package  she is holding: Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise, and Calypso Coral.  The shoes two shades of brown by Stampin! Up: Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip.  

The gifts on the front and inside of card is print and cut using my Silhouette Studio DE, the light pink card, that is layered on the darker pink is punch with my scalloped eyelet punch

Here is the card laid out fully and hope you will be to see it.

A Bootyful Night

For this challenge we're to follow a sketch ....

 

***

And here is my creation

 

A Bootyful Night

I placed the witch in an oval, using my Sizzix Oval die cuts (and using my new magnetic board from Stampin Up) to cut the printed image first, and than cut out the next size up of the oval and than once again with the size down to create the black frame.  The side piece is printed from a image I purchased from the SilhouetteAmericaonline store and cut it so the tree shows.  Placed a black and white polka dot washi tape across the center, and than cut out bats and spiders as embellishments along with a run down fence.  Stamped 'Happy Halloween' using my Teeny-weeny sentiments from Stampin Up.
