Thankful for You Fall Card!

It's Wednesday and it is time for another challenge at Craftaholics R Us. This week's theme is Thank You! I went with a Thankful for You card.

I used a set of leaf stamps from Bo Bunny and stamped them onto a piece of cardstock from Papertrey Ink that was diecut with a Stitched Rectangle die from Jaded Blossom. I used the same cardstock for my card base and attached a piece of patterned paper from Doodlebug Design. The Thankful for You stamp is from Jaded Blossom as well.

I can't wait to see what you make for this week's challenge!

Blessings,

                    

Hello Pumpkin Cupcake!

Happy Monday to you all!

It's my day to post for SVG Cutting Files! This new Pumpkin Icing Cupcake is a file that will be available on Friday! It's just too cute and will make such a sweet file for some cute cards or treat boxes for fall and Thanksgiving. I decided to use this one on a card.

Sometimes we just need to say Hello!

This smiling Pumpkin Icing Cupcake is the cutest! 

I also used the Card Mat Dies, Mini Tag Dies 2, and Simple Sayings from Jaded Blossom. The paper is from Doodlebug Design.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

                     

Thanksgiving Treat! Jaded Blossom November Challenge!

It's November and I am loving the brisk nights!  was putting my calendar together tonight for activities we already have planned for November and December and I just know it is going to fill up fast. But Spending time with family and friends this year is going to be so much fun after living so far away for so long! We are slowly settling into our house. I still don't have my craft space set up yet, so right now everything is laid out across my dining room table. But I did manage to get my project done for the November challenge at Jaded Blossom.

The November theme is Thanksgiving/Thankful!

Here is a fun treat box that would be super cute as part of a
table setting for the family gathering:

I used the Flag Dies, Happy Fall, and Hey Chickie from Jaded Blossom. The gift box is an svg from SVG Cuts. I used papers from Simple Stories for the feathers and the hat band.

I hope you will join us for the November Challenge. And, of course, we want to see all your fun projects in the JB Garden of Creativity.

Enjoy your November and be watching for the Jaded Blossom November Release coming soon.

Blessings,
                   

Harvest Blessings! September Release Week Day 4 at Jaded Blossom!

It's Day 4 of September Release Week at Jaded Blossom!

Happy Fall is a beautiful set of sentiments for all your fall projects. I hope you like it as much as I do!!! I am sharing a fall crate that I made all out of paper.

 

There is not a holiday with more blessings than Thanksgiving. It is a wonderful time to just stop and be reminded of all the reasons we are blessed - a time to think about all we have harvested through the year. And not just crops, but friendships, love, watching our children grow, growth from mistakes and failures, and even our losses. These things speak of relationships. Thanksgiving is a time of praise for all that our relationships have taught us and given us. Fall is also time for me to be thankful as I am reminded of a need for rest. Fall to me is nature saying a beautiful good night right before slumber comes. One more blessing, before it all goes dormant. It is my favorite time!!!

I made the crate, the leaves, and the acorn using a kit from SVG Cuts. I then added the sentiment from Happy Fall from today's release using the Flag Dies from Jaded Blossom.

The Jaded Blossom September Release will go on sale this Friday at 4 PM PST.

Hope you will also stop by and see what the rest of the DT has done with this stamp set on the Jaded Blossom Blog. And then I will see you back here tomorrow for Day 5.

Blessings,

Little Turkey Gift Box!

Sometimes I see something a friend makes and I know I just want to try it as well immediately! That was the case this week when I saw my Beth's turkey box. It is just so cute, so I gave it a whirl as well. If you would like to see Beth's, you will find it here.

Here is my version of the Little Turkey Gift Box using the Bobble Buddies Turkey from Treasure Box Designs.

Like Beth, I started with a 2x2x2 Kraft Box from Annie's Paper Boutique. I covered all the sides with some Bazzill Walnut colored card stock after inking the edges of all my squares. I then cut the pieces for my turkey using various card stocks including more of the Walnut colored Bazzill card stock for the body of the turkey. Once I had him all pieced together, I added his body to the front of the box and his feathers to the back. The feathers were embossed with with my Cuttlebug using a fall embossing folder by Darice.

This could easily become a great idea for a placecard at the Thanksgiving table. All you need to do is add a cut file of a sign to the back of the turkey that shows above the feathers and write the name of all the guests on the signs. It would look super cute!

Thank you for dropping by today. I always enjoy having you stop by.

Blessings,

Happy Thanksgiving From Trendy Twine!

All of us at Trendy Twine want to celebrate Thanksgiving with you by sharing some fun projects. I hope you enjoy them all!

Here is mine:



I made this card using a bit of inspiration from Pinterest.

Using a piece of paper Doodlebug Design's Friendly Forest paper pad and some cardstock, I made a card base and background for my card. I then cut a maple leaf from SVG Cuts' Caramel Apple Pie kit and ran it through my Cuttlebug using the D'vine Swirls embossing folder and attached it with pop dots. I cut the banner from Spellbinder's Nested Pennants set and used two stamps from Jaded Blossom's Simple Sayings stamp set for my sentiment. I did not have one Happy Thanksgiving stamp in my whole stash, so I did some masking of the stamps I used to come up with Happy Thanks. It works in a pinch, I guess!!! I also attached the banner to my card using pop dots. I found a button that matched and threaded some Orange Truffle Trendy Twine through it and tied a bow.

I hope all of you have a Happy Thanksgiving! As I celebrate today, I cannot help but to be thankful for my husband and children, for my family and friends, and for Jesus. I'm curious about what you are thankful for today. Leave a comment and let me know. I'd be glad to read them!

Blessings,
                     

Scarecrow Treat Box Using Orange Truffle Trendy Twine

As I wrapped up October, I also wrapped up my time as a Trendy Little Sister. And though that could be sad, it's not!!! Why? Because now I am a full fledge Trendy Gal. That's right!

 

I have been asked to stay on the Trendy Twine team along with my fellow sisters, Beth and Tammy!

 

And today is my first post as we kick off the November challenge!

 

November Trendy Twine Challenge: 

Fall Foliage - Autumn or Thanksgiving theme, foliage, & Trendy Twine.

 

Here is my project using Orange Truffle Trendy Twine:

 

 

My Scarecrow Treat Box is from My Scrap Chick! I plan on leaving this in the dining room and stashing notes in it for my kids to find after school during the month of November. I want my kiddos to always know that I am thankful for them!!! And what better time to take an opportunity to teach them more about being thankful as we all turn our minds towards the Thanksgiving holiday.

 

To put this together, I cut out the pieces from the Scarecrow file and assembled it. I then added twine around my box and used it to decorate my scarecrow. I cut a leaf from the Autumn Leaves Trio file also from MSC. I stamped my sentiment using Punkin Patch stamps Heirloom Traditions set onto the leaf and used pop dots to attach it to the front of the box. My dp for the front and side panels is from Doodlebug Designs Happy Harvest 6x6 paper pack.

Fall is Soon Upon Us!

Well September is right around the corner and the leaves will begin their change, so today I am getting ready for all the fall beauty. I have made this card to inspire all of you to join us for the KaDoodle Bug Designs Bi-weekly Challenge.

 

Current Theme: Bears, Bears, Bears!!!

 

There is just a few more days to enter - through Thursday 8/21.

 

The KaDoodle Bug Designs file is called Thanksgiving Bears and can be found here.

 

 

I flipped him horizontally so that he would face away from the fold in my card and I enlarged him to fit on a standard A2 sized card base. The expression of surprise that his mouth makes, makes me smile! It looks like he is saying, "Oh, it is fall already!" I know my kids are a bit surprised that school is starting soon. Summer came and went pretty fast this year. But that is alright with me as fall is my favorite season to craft for.

 



 

The papers I used come from the Doodlebug Design Inc. Happy Harvest 6x6 paper pad. I love the colors in this collection. I am pretty sure that all the cardstock is from American Craft and Tim Holtz, but there may be another brand added in there somewhere. My sentiment is no longer made or sold.

 

Supplies Used:

KaDoodle Bug Designs: Thanksgiving Bears

Doodlebug Designs Inc: Happy Harvest 6x6 Paper Pad
