Fast and simple Thanksgiving card


I wanted to do a Thanksgiving card for my husbands Aunt and Uncle who are hosting Thanksgiving and I was a challenge over at Mod Squad Challenge Blog Timed challenge one layer card. Game on so here is my card. I used a Gena K stamp by Rupa I had in my stash. I stamped the saying and then the acorn. I then used water color pencil to color in the acorn and done! It took me 3 minuets and 43 seconds. I took more time looking for my stamp set to use.
   Love how you made me think out of my box Mod Squad Challenge blog.
   I think I might just make a few more now that I found my stamp set!!
   Have a Blessed Thanksgiving.

A little Thanksgiving treat


   I like to do a little something for my Brothers grand kids for holidays. We don't get to see them to much though out the year so it is just fun for me to get crafty for the kids.
   This was a fun 2 stamp set by Unity stamps. I stamped the turkey and colored it with momento markers and cut it out. I stamped the saying and then added a fun turquoise mat.The treat bag holder is basically a 1/2 sheet of paper cut the long way and scored to fold over. I stamped some leaves I had with a caramel color ink all over the bag holder. I filled a small bag with candy corn for in the inside.I cut and boarder punched some scraps of rust paper and attached it along the edge of the flap for another pop of color. I attached the turkey with foam tape to add some dimension
   I think the kids will enjoy their little treat.
   Thanks for stopping. Safe travels and have a Blessed Thanksgiving.

Mod Squad Doily challenge card


     I knew what stamps I would use right away when I saw this challenge over at Mod Squad challenge blog.  I love this stamp set by JustRite called Lace Medallion Labels and the Lace background stamp the goes well with it.
     I stamped the background stamp and the medallion on Kraft paper and embossed it with white embossing powder. I die cut the medallion with the matching die from Spellbinders. I die cut the smaller size from plain kraft paper. I stamped and embossed the saying from JustRites cupcake wishes stamp set.I die cut it with a circle die from spellbinders and I also die cut the small doily and put it under the circle. To add dimension I used foam tape to put the medallion on the card.
   The lace doily is the star of the show for this card. I hope you enjoyed this fast and fun embossed card. Be sure to pop over to Mod Squad Challenge blog to see the other talented paper crafters cards.
