Thanksgiving Card

 Here is another Thanksgiving card that I made.  I always feel Thanksgiving gets overlooked as we usually go right from Halloween to Christmas.  I have such good memories when I was younger, as we would go down to Maryland to see our relatives on Thanksgiving and have such a great time.  Lots of good cooking and great fun when all the cousins got together.  I saw this card on Pinterest and thought it was perfect.

I used SU's Gather Together stamp set and Gather Leaves Die.  This is another great card to use up those DSP scraps.

I used More Mustard CS on this card which is still one of my favorite colors from SU.  I had purchased extra packs when they discontinued it and unfortunately my supply is going down.  I love the little piece of wheat included in the set.

Here is the inside sentiment along with a little pumpkin from the stamp set I added.  The sun has finally surfaced again after some rough weather.  Lots of accidents with the rain.  Margaret got stuck on the highway going to work yesterday for 5 1/2 hours!!  It was a mess.  The problem it that once you get on it is hard to get off and of course no one wants to let you change lanes!  I am so glad I don't have to commute anymore!

Thanksgiving Card

 I decided to stop making Halloween cards and turn my attention to Thanksgiving.  Believe it or not it's not too far away!  I'm so glad I purchased an electronic die machine awhile ago.  It has been such a blessing especially after my hand surgery.  I really like SU's stamp set Ride with Me and wanted to use it on a Thanksgiving card loaded with pumpkins.  Here is was I came up with.

I stamped the truck and then made a mask and stamped pumpkins in the truck from SU's stamp set Gather Together.  

I used my Spellbinders oval die to cut it out and decorated it with some of my chunky glitter.  My sentiment also came from the Gather Together stamp set.  Some ribbon, a button, twine and gems and the front was complete.  I really like how it turned out.  I'm still on a mission to use up existing products.  

My inside sentiment was one if my favorite Michael's stamps and the wheat was from the same stamp set.  

Jennifer had her kids birthday party last weekend at the local skating rink.    These kids had a ball!  We are going to have her family party here on her birthday.  I remember skating all the time when I was a kid, but we did it on the sidewalks and streets!  LOL!

Happy Birthday Card

 I took a break from making Halloween cards to make a birthday card for my SIL.  I saw this technique at Pinterest and thought I would give it a try. 

I used the birthday die from SU.  I cut a piece of adhesive paper the same size as the die and adhered 1/2" strips of different colored paper to it and then cut it with the die.  I thought the different colors looked so neat!  For my sentiments, I used SU's stamp set Birthday Gorgeous on Very Vanilla CS layered on Basic Black and Old Olive CS.

For my inside sentiment, I used SU's stamp set Party with Cake.  I also used a  small strip of DSP to decorate the bottom.  I  love these old stamp sets.  Well, it's back to Halloween!

Pumpkin Halloween Card

Yesterday I was able to finish up another Halloween card I had started

before my surgery.  I used my Woodland Embossing folder from SU on Old Olive CS for my base card and the Harvest Hellos stamp set and coordinating punch for the pumpkins.  I love this set!!

I stamped the pumpkins in Pumpkin Pie ink on different colors and punched them out.  I did the stems separately on Old Olive.  

I decided to pop them up with dimensionals and stamped my sentiment and punched it out and added a little bow.  The hardest thing was to make the bow with my hand.  I also added some gems.

For my inside sentiment, I used my favorite stamp and some washi tape.  

I also decided to decorate the envelopes.  I love making cards for Halloween!  Now I have to make the hardest one for Jennifer's birthday/Halloween!

Jennifer has been wanting to take horseback riding lessons so she finally got her wish as an early birthday present.  

She loved it and can hardly wait to go again!  That's it for this neck of the woods.
