Wishing Choo Choo a Merry Christmas

 A good coincidence this week - MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #513 and Newton's Nook Inky Paws Sketch Challenge #135 are very similar, so naturally I took advantage of this and designed my card with both challenges in mind! It's a simple image colored with copics and mounted on a card base with some patterned paper. The image is from Newton's Nook,"All Aboard for Christmas." I used scalloped rectangle die from MFT Blueprint #27 adding to the festive theme. I have a slim line card planned for this stamp set, but it's still in the coloring stage. I might as well place this on the SSS Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes, too. Thanks for visiting my blog!

Gobble

Here's a fun slim line card for Thanksgiving. I used the dies from Trinity Stamps for the slim line design, a gnome set from Photo Play colored with copics which I think is so cute. The inside design gnome is from SSS, the bucket from  Impression Obsession, pumpkin die from Memory Box (crackle paint added on top for dimension.) I am entering this in the Tic Tac Toe Challenge #88 (Thanksgiving, Autumn, Rust) and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes.

Thankful

 I have been in the craft room every night lately. It helps to ground me and calm me in these turbulent times! Here's another Thanksgiving card. I made a similar card last year, but this year I used different dies and stamps. The fancy die had no label when I bought it from Amazon. It's a gorgeous rectangle die set. The stamps are all from Gina K Autumn Wreath Builder set. The sentiment "Thankful" is from Simon Says Stamp. The stencil for the envelope is from Carta Bella. Entering this in SSS Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes and the Tic Tac Toe Challenge #88 (Fall Colors, Thankful Sentiment, Free.)

Restful Christmas

 I finally had a chance to try a stamp which I have had for at least a year from Penny Black, "Restful." I went back to watch Jill Foster's video for the products she used and then tried to match what I had in my craft room that would work. I made two cards. Didn't like the first one because the sky was too dark, so I made a second card. Looking at them now, I like both of them! I am entering one in the PBSC Saturday Challenge for October. I am also entering it in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes.

Birthday Wishes Gate Fold

 What fun I had last night! I bought these new dies from Poppy Stamps and created my first gate fold card. The main die is the Oval Fold Frame, and I also used the Picket Tall Curve Border. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. The small flower and leaves are from My Favorite Things "Spring Wreath" stamp set and the extra die cut leaves are Poppy "Leafy Spring Die." I just discovered that Poppy Stamps has a challenge, so that's the primary spot for this card project - October Challenge Think Pink! I will also enter it on SSS Wednesday Challenge "Layer It Up."

 

Friend Like No One Elf

 Another cute elf holiday card finished. The images are from My Favorite Things "Santa's Elves" color just added a strip of gold card stock at the top for a little extra bling. I love the inside sentiment, also from MFT. The holly and berry stamps are from a very old MFT Set "Winter Warmth." Entering this card in the MFT Color Challenge #150 and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Layer It Up.

A Pile of Fun for Thanksgiving

 This cute scene was created with several mediums - Derwent Inktense water color pencils, Daniel Smith water colors, and copic markers! The images are from My Favorite Things "Piles of Fun" and Purple Onion. Entering this in the following Challenges:
