SF-2022 October Blog Hop - Thankful for You!

 

Be sure to hop through all the blogs on the list near the bottom for tons of wonderful inspiration as we create projects that are Thankful for You!

 ~*~*~*~*~  

 Loved making this card - the background is a layer of woven 3/4" strips of Distressed Gold Paper and Texture Chic DSP - they work so well together.  I used the Leaves from the Leaf Label & Amber Gems combo pack, ran them through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the falling leaves Embossing Folder, and sponged them with Pumpkin Pie ink and Cajun Craze ink.

I strung those leaves on fibers I pulled from the Silver Threaded Twine for a real natural look, and added some of the Amber gems for bling.  You could also use the linen thread for this, but the fibers are a little more wavy and rustic.  Finished the inside with a few strips of the DSP.

I am "so grateful" for you - for all my customers and for my life.  This is just such a wonderful time of year as we enter the season of thanks.  So my other project is this adorable basket - I've had it sitting on my counter filled with tea bags.

For this I used the Rustic Harvest 12x12" DSP and Tombow glue to cover the slats and ends of a little wooden crate (these are very inexpensive at Craft and Dollar stores) - this could be used for so many things, note paper, tea, candy and more.  The bottom is slats to - so I added a coordinating piece of DSP to the bottom of the inside so things don't fall through.

Love these, the are so fun to make, easy and fast so I can have one for each season.

Hope you enjoyed these fun projects and the Thankfulness they represent

Paper Crafting Blog Hop October 2022 - Thinking of you!

 

Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop for October 2022 - featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. We have a wide array of projects and design styles to share with you this month - all about "Thinking of you!"

~*~*~*~*~

I love fall - the crispness in the air, the food and drinks, cinnamon and apples - but mostly the changing leaves. We were fortunate enough to be in Tennessee and West Virginia last week and witness the beauty first hand - so as I created today, that was on my mind. I started with one of the smaller branches from Forever Fern - and using a mask cut with our Layering Circles dies out of post-it paper - I created a wreath.

This is so simple to do, and creates such an impact when you remove the post-it!

Then I cut out layer circle of the same three colors - Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive - and created a focal point in the middle of my wreath.

This set didn't have a "thinking of you", so I pulled out my Soft Seedlings set - which had a perfect one. Wrapped it with a little linen thread and tied a bow - then added some of our Champagne Rhinestone gems. Just so beautiful in it's simplicity.

Of course - I had to decorate the envelope to match and I love how it turned out.

So what do you think?  I love it - perfect colors for this time of year - and who can't use a few more thinking of you cards, right?

I hope you got some inspiration from this card. Thank you so much for stopping by and I would love to hear your thoughts and comments!
