Sharing a Thanks

Fall is a beautiful time of year for many things, but have you sent a thank you to anyone recently? This would be a great time of year to warm up another person's day with many of us starting to experience colder weather. Jean is bring a beautiful card today to share and I think it is a wonderful reminder to do a little card making again and go to the post office ;) Deb♥


 I wanted to try something new so I grabbed a stamp and my watercolors to complete this Thank you card. I was able to use a variation of colors. It can be challenging to get it so it is not too watery so I suggest practicing first on scrap paper before starting your project. I like the softer effect.

Introductions Please

I enjoy the card images Heather come sup with, always so cute. Today is no exception and it was something new to me so that is even more cool!  Click here to go and check them out too :)

I love Ian from TGF (The Greeting Farm) stamps!  He's just a cool young guy . . . perfect for a young teen boy!  I colored Ian using Copic markers to make this birthday card for my pre-teen nephew!  A little jute and some patterned papers and was good to go!

Happy Turkey Day?

LOL! Thanksgiving seems so far away, but in reality it isn't too far down the road so why not do like Penny has done and create a card ahead of time? No sense being pressed at the last minute :)
Deb♥

For this simple little card, I used a Fiskar's border punch, but instead of using the punch on the card's edge, I used it instead on the inner mat, then I added the K & Co. gold border strips. There is a reason the inner part of this card is white, it's because the small sticker had a white border around it and I didn't want to try and fussy cut it off. (I know that's cheating, but it gives the card a much better look when you are done.  The inside of the card has a matching sticker that say's "Happy Thanksgiving". The sticker sheet these came from is REALLY old, so it felt good to finally find it a home.
Supplies:
K & Co border strips
Fiskar's Lace Border Punch
Orange, brown, and white cardstock
Really old Hallmark sticker sheet

Jean's Find

Straightening our scrapbooking and craft area is always a good thing. I think it feels like Christmas sometimes because you never know what might show up!!! Let's see what Jean found! Deb♥ I was straightening my scrap closet when I found some older Pink Paislee papers and Flip Notes in a box. I decided to try a different type of card. I bent the top of the flip note and adhered it to the pattern paper. I attached a button just at the bottom of the note so it tucks under it. Underneath the note I stamped a greeting. I thought this was a great way to use some of those leftovers which I have!

Fiskars is on the Scene

I did some research because I just had to know what Fiskars punch Penny had mentioned using. It is called Celestial ")  Here is a picture of it and here is Penny's words along with her card :)
 
For this card I used the Fiskars corner punch, this punch includes a corner punch for a star, moon, and sun.  For this card I used the star and moon corners. I will however give you a tip about this punch, line it up and use the punch upside down, this will make it a LOT easier to properly line up the correct corner positions. I fought for a while with this punch before figuring this out and then it worked beautifully. Since I used brads on the front of this card, I covered the inside with another sheet of paper, to cover the brad backs, I think this gives a much cleaner appearance on the inside of the final card.
The vellum quote reads:
Shoot for the moon.  Even if you miss, you'll land in the stars" by Les Brown
Supplies:
Fiskars corner punch
black and yellow cardstock
Vellum quote - unknown
black brads
Happy Scrapping! Love Penny

Partaaaaaaaaaay in the Woods ")

Michelle's nephew is sure to like this card.
Deb♥

I still have my old Original Sizzix machine and dies. I can't part with them...I think it is because it was my first big purchase when I started scrapbooking. So, I try to challenge myself to go OLD SCHOOL once in a while! Using my Original Sizzix machine and dies. I cut out the trees and mountains. Inked up the mountains a bit and layered the trees. Attached my ribbon and trim. Loved the curved arrow so I did cut that out from the Cricut. Inked up the edges and stamped the sentiment, "Party This Way"

Loved how this came out. Perfect for my nephew's 17th Birthday card. I think we see him the most riding by on his motorcycle. He loves being on his motorcycle riding through the trails and range behind our house.

Digi Stamping on Cards

I see a lot of digi stamping onto cards lately. I am thinking there must be a lot of great companies out there that we have not found! Heather would like to show us one of hers today. This card reminds me of the very first challenge here on IIG where we took pics of our favorite tea cup and use them in layouts.
Deb♥


This spider was one of the first digital stamps that I colored using my copic markers! It was so cute that I just couldn't pass it up! My aunt loves teapots and teacups so I just made a simple little card, added the colored image and there ya go! A little metal sentiment that says "hello" and all done! (She absolutely loved it by the way!)

Neon Makes a Come Back!

Do you know Tami B over on Fiskateers? She has challenged us this month to create something using NEON! This makes me think totally 80's which I LOVE! Come by and play too! This is what I made using Crayola colored pencils that are neon colors :) Deb♥

Sea Life

I had the pleasure of attending a Stampin' Up Stamp Camp a few nights ago. It was the first time I have gone to one of these and although I have been making cards for a long time I hoped to learn any new techniques available, and play with stamps I don't have. It was so much fun to meet new girls and do exactly what I hoped for! Try one out if you know of one in your area and I know you will love it too! Here is one of the cards we made below:

What was interesting was how we made the sea for the turtle. I don't have step-by-step photo directions since I was in camp, but it happened like this...add hair gel to a jewelry bag along with a small amount of fine glitter. You will adhere this bag on top of your stamped image then adhere cardstock on top of that. Ii is squishy and fun. Give it a try!!! I know I will again :) Deb♥

3 Cheers for Mom!!!

What a wonderful project Michelle has made in honor of her mom, but even more wonderful to me is the beautiful words written about her talented mom!!!
Deb♥


My mom is a sewing queen! She tells me I can do it too all the time!

But I know and I am sure others get the same thoughts and feelings, about their Mom's. "Mom does it better, quicker and can do it without even thinking!"

So, when it comes to alterations, curtains, fabric rolled blinds, pants hemmed, etc. It is usually a "Mom can you get this for me!"

Well, here is a card I made with her in mind...
She was trained as a pattern maker before the digital age.
Worked as a Seamstress for a dry cleaner, bridal shop & word of mouth jobs when we were young.
So, there was always fabric scraps, trims and buttons to play with....BUT the best was her dress form! I would pull out the fabrics and pins and attach them to the dress form and call Mom in to she if she could make my pinned together creations!

Back to Mom, she opened a Bridal business first out of the house and then a store front. Then later went back into pattern making in the digital age. Learned the digital systems and made mock up of those patterns. Just writing this up, amazes me because there is so much she has done......I need to get all those other details and the pictures to show all her creations and beautiful work!

So, Mom gets the credit for sparking my creativity at a young age!

Digi Goodness!

I was completely drawn to this stamp when I first saw it. Just check out what Heather has completed and once you do be sure to click the link to Bugaboo Stamps. When I did I found that they have a freebie each Friday! I am excited!!! Thanks for bringing this to pur attention Heather :)
Deb♥

I love this digital stamp from Bugaboo Stamps! He makes for the perfect sympathy card . . . and that is just what I used him for on these 2 cards. I colored him using copic markers, cut him out and put him on some cards with 7 Gypsies paper in the background. I used the SewStamper for the marks around the edges. Then some mini alphas for the outside sentiment.

Scraps to Treasure

Saving scraps seems to be important to most paper crafters and if not then take a look at what Jean created. Using scraps can be such an expense saver!!!
Deb♥

I love to use 6 x 6 papers as well as scraps to make thank you cards. I have never been good at nor liked fussy cutting but I am trying to do more of it. Sketch from Capture these Sketches.
