A Thankful Wreath for CCMC266

It's Thursday and time for a new challenge at Create with Connie and Mary.  This week we have a fall color challenge to work with.




I have been into Halloween cards lately, but theses colors need a Thanksgiving card.  I haven't gotten any new Thanksgiving sets yet, so I went with punch art and simplicity. 



This is most definitely a clean and simple card!  I wanted the wreath to take center stage, so I went with a simple Whisper White base card.  Here's the details:

1. Paper pierced the shape of the largest framelit from Apothecary Accents to frame the wreath.

2.  Made the wreath using the leaf from the Bird Builder Punch.  I punched out a bunch of each color of card stock so the building process would go faster.  I put just a dab of Multi Purpose Mono Adhesive glue on the back of each leaf and started layering on the card stock ring I made using Circle framelits.  This is the first wreath like this that I've done and the process wasn't as long as I expected it to be.  The wreath is attached with dimensionals to make it pop a little.

3.  Stamped Happy Thanksgiving from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Tangerine Tango and backed it with Chocolate Chip.  It is adhered directly to the card stock.




That's it!  Clean and simple!  I really do enjoy doing this genre of cards, especially with these beautiful bold colors against white!

Go to Create with Connie and Mary to participate in this week's challenge with us.  Be sure to check out the fantastic preview projects, you can still sign up for the Fall Collection 2013!



If it doesn't move...stamp it!!

Let's get ready for Halloween!

I don't know about you, but I love little treats and decorations for Halloween.  I am already planning out some party ideas that I thought would be fun to share! I've been busy as you can see!  It all started with the thought of doing a banner and I just kept going and going! Each piece of the banner has different stamps and die cuts from the Howl-o-ween Treat bundle and was way more fun to create than I anticipated!  The panels are each 4" x 6" with the banner end hand cut.  I am actually working on a tutorial to release next week with the instructions for the banner and the treats so you can make your own!  UPDATE: YOU CAN FIND THE TUTORIAL HERE! Now let's check out all the treats.  I wanted a variety so there would be something for everyone's taste. I am well known for my chocolate chip cookies, so a cookie envelope was the first idea to come to mind.  They are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and are just the right size for a cookie!  The envelope punch board mad

Woo Hoo!! Today is Day 6 of Preview Week and it's my turn to give away BLOG CANDY!!  I am super excited to be on the Design Team for the Spring Collection 2015 from Create with Connie and Mary. The new Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration Catalog are chock full of great products and we are here to give you great ideas for using them!!  Let me show you my card then I'll tell you more! I'm sure that anyone that follows my blog knows how much I love shaker cards and confetti, so I had to do one for today with a critter!!  The Cheerful Critters set is just so cute I knew it would be great as a shaker. The inspiration came from the December Paper Pumpkin kit that I have made a bunch of cards with.  It was super easy to recreate using the On Film framelits and the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper.  The bear from Cheerful Critters was stamped and colored with blendabilities then fussy cut and glued to the front of the shaker.  A bunch of stars from the Confetti Star Punch an
