Stampin' Up! Modern Christmas for Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop

Hello my stamping friends! Welcome to our monthly Amy's Inkin' Krew hop. Our theme for this month is "Christmas/Holiday" and we can  use any product we wish. Here is what I created for it ...

  

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

 

I just love a fun fold, don't you? Today's was inspired by Sally Poole. She calls it a Tri-Shutter fold and you can watch her video here. I might cover the back with more DSP at a later date.

Stampin' Up! Thanksgiving Place Cards for the Creative Creases Challenge #109 Anything Goes with a Fun Fold

Welcome to our Anything Goes With a Fun Fold Challenge. If you haven't played at Creative Creases Challenge before, what are you waiting for? Hop on over to Challenge #109. We'd love to see your fun fold creation. Here's one of mine...

                                             
Now, why did I say, "one of mine"? Well, because ...

 and ...

Yes, my sister-in-law and I will be eating at my daughter and son-in-love's house, along with his mother for Thanksgiving.

Here's a side view of mine...
 

I'm not sure what I will place inside yet. I know Gene would love to have my homemade baklava but I usually cut that into diamond shapes. We shall see!

 

My projects were inspired by Lori deGroot. Here are the measurements in inches:

 

• Base: 3 1/2 x 5 3/4, scored and folded at 1 3/4, 3 1/2, 5 1/4; put glue on smallest fold 
• DSP: 3 x 5 7/8, scored and folded at 1 3/4, 3 1/2, 5 3/8; hide seam, put adhesive on outside small flap and wrap around base 
• Strip of Very Vanilla for name banner 
• Decorate with pumpkins, maple leaf, acorns, etc. 

Thank you for stopping by today and I can't wait to see all the creativity from the team.  Be sure to check us out at CCC#109 and we hope to see your entry there! Remember, you have a month to participate.

Stampin' Up! Happy Thanksgiving Gnome Card

Good morning, peeps. The only parts of this card today are the card stock and the die cut. Let me show you...

The patterned paper and the gnome are from Kendra Morgan's Global Gratitude Digital Cardmaking Kit. I love them both and hope you do too!

The die cuts are from SU's retired Word Wishes set and I cut them from Basic Beige card stock. Mango Melody was one of my favorite oranges and it's so useful to make cards with a Tennessee Volunteers theme. There'll be more of those down the road. 

For the inside, I used a computer generated message...

I'm not sure from where the message came as I just happened to find it on my computer when I searched for the word thankful. So, I hope whoever deserves the credit sees this.

As You See It has a harvest theme for their challenge and I think the gnome scene represents a harvest of mushrooms. I hope they agree! 

 

I also hope you'll be back tomorrow for our Creative Creases Challenge...you won't be disappointed if you are a fun fold lover. Thanks for stopping by.

Stampin' Up! Rustic Harvest

Good Monday morning, stamping friends. I finally used up this pattern from the Rustic Harvest DSP package. I think that's what I'm going to be doing...using my DSP and ridding myself of the hoarding complex. Let's see how long that lasts...lol! Truthfully, I don't have enough years left to deplete the 3' stack!! I'm donating these to a church craft fair so they are already packaged.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope to see you tomorrow for our SU Demo Fun Fold Hop.
