Thanksgiving Card 2013

Hi All,

Just a quick post.  I had a day off work Monday and managed to get my Thanksgiving cards designed and made. I made 30 total, which felt like I really accomplished something, now to get them addressed and sent. 

This card combined 2 stamp sets The Crafts Meow "As We Gather Together" (pumpkin, turkey and sentiment) and Our Daily Bread "Autumn Blessings" (acorns and leaf).

I found this great sketch from Unscripted Sketches and thought the layout was just perfect for these sets.

 

Supplies --

Stamps sets: TCM "As We Gather Together" and ODB "Autumn Blessings"

Cardstock: PTI Kraft, Canyon Clay, Ripe Avocado, Dark Chocolate

Ink: PTI Canyon Clay, Ripe Avocado, Dark Chocolate

Corner rounder punch

Next thing on my list for the weekend after getting Thanksgiving cards mailed - Christmas cards.  Only need about 80 of those - LOL.

Thanks for stopping by....

Blessings,

Deb

Sketch Saturday Challenge #284

We have a new sketch at Sketch Saturday today!  Our sponsor is Simon Says Stamp! and the prize is a $25 gift certificate. :D

For today's card, I used the Simon Says Stamp October Card Kit.  I had been getting card kits from another company, but I was having a hard time keeping up with them.

So, when I got an e-mail from Simon Says Stamp and saw their stamp kit I decided to switch.  Simon Says is a sponsor for Sketch Saturday every 2nd Saturday of the month, so why not give it a shot.  The set is "Give Thanks".  I could not resist, what a great set.

 

Here is this weeks sketch #284 (designed by Jen):

I have to say I loved the way the stamps take ink.  Very impressive for a clear polymer stamp.

Supplies --

My Interpretation:

I found a new digi shop called A Random Fan. It just opened in August and this is an image from Sherry's shop.  This is Gemma's Secret Crush.  Sweet isn't she?  I love her hair.  Makes a great anniversary card or valentine.  I'm ahead of schedule :D  I swapped out the star in the sketch for a heart.
