Thanks Pilgrim Bird

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

It is going to be a super Saturday. Just a few plans like grade papers, make some cards, and maybe do a little shopping. It is Saturday, so who could ask for more! I may even start making my holiday treat bags since I bought some M&Ms yesterday at CVS while they were on sale and I had a coupon to make the deal even better. Wohoo!

 

Last night I worked on a card for the neighbor. He is a high school Senior who brings my daughter to school in the morning. I plan on getting him a gift card for Thanksgiving. After last night though I may need to get him even more. Why? The Fed Ex man delivered my husband's package (a brand new ipad mini) to his house. Not sure why since we don't have the same house address or last name. We are just happy he is a good kid and returned the package! My husband said it probably helped that he is his HS principal too! : ) 

 

Here is the card I made...

 

 I used the following sketch from Seems a Little Sketchy.

 Materials:

various sheets of cardstock

3 Birds on Parade ~ Pilgrim bird (p. 41) cut at 2 1/4"

orange pearls

thank you stamp ~ Inkadinkadoo

brown ink

 

Challenges:

Pile it On ~ Use your craft tools (Cricut and round punch)

Love to Create ~ Thanksgiving/Thanks

  Craftin' Desert Diva ~ Thanksgiving Linky Party

Shopping Our Stash ~ Use something on your desk (card base and thank you stamp)  

Creative Card Crew ~ Pearls

Crafty Creations ~ Dies/Punches

Jo's Scrap Shack ~ Anything Goes

 

Hope you enjoy your weekend,

Georgiana

Thanksgiving Challenge at Die Cuttin' Diva

Happy Diva Tuesday!

Today brings another challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas and what better way to celebrate than with a new project.

 

The Challenge this Week...

Thanksgiving

 

Here is my Design Team project...

The sketch I used is from 2 Sisters Challenge.

Materials:

My Mind's Eye Papers

mustard yellow, white, and kraft card stock

3 Birds on Parade Cricut cartridge ~ bird and sentiment

blue gems
 

Here is a poem I found to share.

(Guess where we are going on Thanksgiving?)...

 

At Grandma's House

I like the taste of turkey
Any time throughout the year
But it never
seems to taste as good
As when Thanksgiving's here.

Could be it's all the trimmings
That are cooked with it to eat-
But I think it's
eating at Grandma's house
That makes it such a treat!

~Author Unknown

Happy Thanksgiving to all that celebrate!

Stay Creative,
Georgiana



Saturday was a Day for Turkeys

Good Morning Crafty Friends and Happy Sunday!

 

Yesterday was a fabulous day for making cards. After I took my daughter to get her haircut, I was able to work on turkey cards for a friend. She was concerned that I spent so much time making all these cards, but I told her it was well worth the time.

 

Let me share some information about each of these Thanksgiving cards.

  This card did not use the Cricut. I used a Spellbinder for the Lacey Circle, but the other pieces are stickers. The turkey was wearing a bow, so I added matching ones next to the sentiment. The background is embossed with Tim Holtz woodgrain folder. 

 This was the first time this season I used the turkey cut from Simply Charmed. I do not typically pull out this cartridge because of all the smiley faces on the images, but the turkey is perfect for the holiday. The stamp is from Card Tv and the papers are My Mind's Eye. 

 Here are a few others in a group shot.

The turkeys were cut from either Create a Critter or Thanksgiving cartridges. A variety of papers and embellishments were used to create unique cards.

 This is a sticker that I purchased either last year or the year before for 10 or 20 cents. It was one piece, but I cut the letters and adhered closer together to fit within the scalloped circle (cut from Elegant Edges). The papers are Cloud9 Design ~ Seasonal stack.

I used the sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday to create this pair. I just alternated the papers and colors.

Cupcake Inspirations ~ turkeys (1st picture)

Party Time Tuesdays ~ Thanksgiving theme
