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! 

 challenge #360

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! All About Autumn Thanksgiving Card

Good Saturday morning, peeps! I made lots of Thanksgiving cards and didn't get them mailed in time. So, in any event, let me show you some of them...


A piece of 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" Basic White cardstock is scored 7 times on the left top side. The sentiment from the retired "A Wish for Everything" stamp set and is stamped in Pumpkin Pie ink. The openings are 1 1/4" square using a retired SU Whale Punch...boy are those bulky! So glad they redesigned their punches!!

A 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" panel of retired All About Autumn DSP is adhered to the inside front.
For the inside...

The frame is cut from retired Mango Melody cardstock using a retired die from Ornate Layers Dies. The computer generated greeting is cut with a Deckled Rectangle die.

My second card is done in the same fashion with different measurements for the DSP. I just love this retired DSP, don't you? I also like the different width of scores.

and the inside...

I decided to enter the second card in the AAA Card Challenge #278: Sketch and CAS (a lot of "white" space). I flipped my squares to the side, which is allowed.
                                                   
and here are two more using all retired goodies...


Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you are having a great weekend. Do you have your Thanksgiving meal planned?

Stampin' Up! Gathered Wheat Thanksgiving Card for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who live in the USA and welcome all to our Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop. Here is what I created for our sketch challenge today...



My card base is Crumb Cake cardstock. I heat embossed the little wheat seed with gold embossing powder on the edges and used the splatter stamp with Early Espresso ink.

My Soft Suede mat is embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I wrapped a piece of Gold 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon around it and adhered the mat to the front of the card with liquid adhesive.

Next I tried stamping the large piece of wheat on the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper in Early Espresso ink but that didn't work out so great. However, I still cut it out with the Wheat Dies, along with medium size wheat pieces. I adhered them all to the mat with liquid glue.

The sentiment from the Gathered Wheat Stamp Set is stamped in Early Espresso ink on a piece of Crumb Cake that I punched out with the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch. I adhered it with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For the inside...

I stamped the wheat, second generation with Crumb Cake ink and the sentiment with Early Espresso. I had one die cut left over so I adhered that to the panel with liquid glue.

I'm playing at TTTC188 with Featured Designer Felicita - Tic Tac Toe #188. I went from the upper left corner to the bottom right and across the top..

Stampin' Up! Word Wishes Thanksgiving Card

Good Monday Morning Makeover, peeps! I'm still going with a Thanksgiving theme. Well, because...you know why! I'm so glad I don't have to cook for Thursday! What are you doing that day?

This is how my remake looks and because there is no stamping, I'm entering it in the UnstampaBelles Challenge #117: November: Colour my World. I love all the colors represented in the truck.


This is my original from October 23...


I can't decide which one I like better. The one today uses Pattern Party Designer Series Paper, a fussy cut of the truck from the napkin, and words from the Word Wishes Dies. My card base is Crushed Curry Cardstock.

I'm also entering my card at Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper November 2021 and Use Your Stuff #436 Thanksgiving/Grateful.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed my remake.

A spirit of thankfulness is one of the most distinctive marks of a Christian whose heart is attuned the Lord.

Stampin' Up! Mini Curvy Keepsake Thanksgiving Treat Boxes

Good Sunday morning, peeps! Can you believe Thanksgiving is Thursday? I'll be going to my Godson's for Thanksgiving and decided to make these table favors for each person. The boxes are so quick and easy if you have the Mini Curvy Keepsake Box Dies, which are retired. The Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper is retired as well. (I have an unopened pack if anyone is looking for it!)


The design for my tags came from my upline, Amy Koenders. I printed out the sentiments on my computer and cut them with another die from the Mini Curvy Keepsakes. Then I used that same die to cut the bottom portion of DSP and adhered it to the main tag. I'm glad I kept the dies and paper! The baker's twine is from the Dollar Store that I purchased in 2011! Ten years ago and it's the first time I've used it...lol. I dug deep into the stash for this project! The Dove Sea Salt Caramel candies, however, are new!!

I'm entering my project at TGIF Challenge 343.

and at Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper November 2021.

Thank you for stopping by today and tomorrow I might just have a makeover!

Stampin' Up! In Good Taste Designer Series Paper Thanksgiving Card

There are 33 days left until Thanksgiving so I thought I better get working on my Thanksgiving cards. Do you send turkey day cards? Do you eat turkey? My son always roasted a whole turkey but this year I'll be doing just a breast with stuffing and creamed onions. I can skip the mashed potatoes this time as well as the pumpkin pie. One person can only eat so much!

Barb provided the kit at our Thursday Card Group. The card base is Very Vanilla. The DSP from In Good Taste is adhered to a mat of retired Chocolate Chip cardstock.

Barb had Thanksgiving napkins so we did the napkin technique for the truck filled with pumpkins and the basket filled with sunflowers. You can see cards I did in the past with the napkin technique here and here. However, this time we didn't use saran wrap and an iron. We used SU's Adhesive Sheets! Much easier!! Once we had the napkin (single ply) on the adhesive sheet, we adhered it to a panel of Basic White cardstock. You can either fold the edges over and miter the corners or you can cut off the edges if you know it's glued good to the edges. We adhered that panel to a piece of Chocolate Chip and adhered that to the front of the card.

The sentiment mat is cut out with a die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I stamped the sentiment, from a defunct company, with Early Espresso ink and fussy cut it. I adhered it with liquid glue to the rectangle and the rectangle to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The inside is stamped in Chocolate Chip with a Stampendous stamp.


The Chocolate Chip mat is 5 1/4" x 4" and the white panel is 5" x 3 3/4".

Stampin' Up! Banner Year Thanksgiving Card

Good Wednesday morning! Mid-week again and mid-month! Before we know it, Thanksgiving will be here. Don't believe me? Well, then, take a look-see...


My card today is a quick and easy one. I had my Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series paper out and my Be Dazzling Specialty Paper next to it. I decided to tear the Queen Ann's Lace pattern in two and place a sparkling Be Dazzingly in between. For some reason, it reminded me of Thanksgiving so I stamped the sentiment from the Banner Year Stamp Set in Early Espresso directly onto the Gray Granite card base.

The inside is plain and simple...needing no explanation!


I wish there had been a speed challenge to enter my card but I did enter it in these challenges:

Stampin' Up! Thanksgiving Paper Pumpkin Card

Can you believe tomorrow is Thanksgiving? Don't blink or it will be Christmas the next day! I do exaggerate, but really, it's only a month away! I have to admit I can't wait for 2020 to be over and I'm hoping 2021 will have some normalcy to it.

Here's my card for you...


It's a CASE of Maria Willis' card from 9/28/17. I used my September 2017 Paper Pumpkin Kit to create my card for you today. Everything is retired product except for the inside. I'm entering my card as a thanksgiving day card in the Watercooler Wednesday: WWC222 Heidi's All About Occasions Challenge. I'm also entering my card at Dragonfly Journeys No. 140 - Thank You.

For the inside, I used stamps from Autumn Goodness and Cajun Craze ink.


If you have any questions, I'll be happy to respond if you leave a comment with your email address.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for our Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop.

Stampin' Up! Autumn Goodness and Arrange A Wreath Thanksgiving Card

TGIF, peeps! Thanksgiving is less than a week away and I made three of these cards, which have all been sold! I CASEd a card made by one of my teammates, Donna Leonard.

I used the floral arrangement from the Autumn Goodness Stamp Set and the sentiment stamp from the Arrange A Wreath Stamp Set. Other product I used will be listed below.


I started out with a Soft Suede card base and adhered a mat of Very Vanilla that I embossed with the Tin Tile 3D EF. I used a die from the retired Swirly Scribbles Dies (Painted Labels Dies could be used and that is current) to make a back drop for the sentiment from the Arrange A Wreath Stamp Set. That is stamped in Soft Suede on a scrap of Very Vanilla. I cut it out with a die from Stitched Shapes Dies and adhered it with liquid glue to the swirly piece.

Next I cut a piece of Plaid Tidings DSP and adhered it to a piece of Soft Suede cardstock. I adhered that to my embossed mat with liquid glue. Then I adhered the sentiment piece with liquid glue. Taking a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, I stamped the floral/leaf image from the Autumn Goodness Stamp Set in Soft Suede and cut it out with the Autumn Wheelbarrow Dies. I adhered that to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

So, so far I have two of the items needed to play at Festive Friday #FF0072. The inside of my card is the third item.

Let's take a look see. The inside was done using my computer and printer. I rounded off the corners with the retired Trio Punch.


I had a lot of fun with this one and I thank Donna for the inspiration on the card front.

I'm also playing in the Alphabet Challenge "Q is for use a Quote". "You are what you eat" has an interesting story behind it here

TGIF Challenge #TGIFC291 has a great challenge too. I love their inspirational photo.

Thanks for stopping by today, I am always thankful for your visits and comments.
