Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #PCC360: Day of Thanks (30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 27)

Good morning!

So excited that our Thanksgiving vacation has officially started, just wrapping up a few things this morning before we hit the road.  Today I'm using the Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge for another fun Thanksgiving card using the Day of Thanks stamp set.

This card uses Mint Macaron cardstock for the cardbase and then Rich Razzleberry cardstock as mat for the Crumb Cake cardfront.  To make the cardfront I started by embossing the cardstock with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder and then took a sponge dauber and the Celestial Copper Delicata Metallic Ink and lightly rubbed the ink over the cardfront to highlight the embossing and create the look of extra texture.

Next I added a piece of Come to Gather Designer Series Paper that was matted with Pretty Peacock cardstock.  I used that same turkey image from Monday and this time he's stamped in Early Espresso ink on Mint Macaron cardstock and matted with Rich Razzleberry.  Behind the turkey piece I added a small leaf (which is Early Espresso and cut out with the Gathered Leaves Dies) peaking out.

To finish off the card I added some Pearls that I colored with a Copper Sharpie Marker.  The greeting was stamped in Rich Razzleberry on Very Vanilla cardstock and then I fussy cut around it with my Paper Snips and sponged around the edges with Early Espresso ink before attaching it with Mini Dimensionals.

Adding the Mint Macaron to this card makes it a little more playful and I like fussy cutting greetings like this when they are large so they don't monopolize the card as it might if it was straight edges.

30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 25

Good morning!

Thanksgiving week has arrived, I'm excited but also a little overwelmed as I have way to much still to do.  But I'm so looking forward to spending time with friends and family, it's the best!  Since it's Thanksgiving week I wanted to showcase a few more fall themed projects this week, starting with this one using the Day of Thanks stamp set.  I have to admit this set wasn't on my wish list but thankfully I have a friend who loves all things feathers so she let me borrow it!

For this card I started with Soft Suede cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock as the cardfront that has a piece of the Come to Gather Designer Series Paper in the center (this wood print is gorgeous!!)

Next I took the turkey stamp and heat embossed it in Copper Embossing Powder on Crumb Cake cardstock and matted it with Early Espresso cardstock.   The greeting was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink on Very Vanilla cardstock before being cut out with the Layering Ovals Dies, sponged around the edges with Soft Suede ink, and then attached to the cardfront with dimensionals. 

For a final fun touch, I stamped two of the large feathers in Early Espresso ink on Crumb Cake cardstock and fussy cut them with Paper Snips before attaching them with dimensionals and tying a bow with the 3/16" Braided Linen Trim to finish it off.

The detail in the images in this stamp set are beautiful, you have to see them up close and this turkey is an elegant way to send Thanksgiving wishes.
