More Recycled Pumpkins Card

I know Thanksgiving is over, but I have one last Thanksgiving card for the month. This is another scrappy card of mine! Love those!

This card has 7 different papers used on it!  That may be a record for me! LOL!  I used lots of scraps though!

As I stated in the title, I have more recycled pumpkins here.  They are so fun to make though!  See how to make them HERE. 

I love using old book pages and I used it two different ways on this card.  One as a background and one using a Martha Stewart punch for the little leaves.

These little layered cards are fun to do.  Lots of elements to look at and fun for others to try and figure out how you did it! LOL!  Oh scrappy little card, you are so full of Fall!

I've been working on Christmas cards, so stay tuned!

Thanks for stopping by today. Please come again really soon, but until then...have a lovely day!  HUGS! :) 

Recycled Nestie Pumpkin Card

Here's another little scrappy card using all scraps from my scrap bin.  Might as well use those scraps up huh?  It's either that or throw them away and well, I just can't bring myself to do that most times!

I got my idea for this card HERE.  Such a simple and clean design.  I love it!

The pumpkin is made using a frozen dinner box I saved from years back.  See how I make the pumpkin HERE.  The one shown above is a bit different using 5 pieces, but its all along the same lines.  I used some chalk ink to shade the edges of each piece.

The sentiment is a Kim Hughes stamp from way back when.  I've used this set so much over the years but it's still perfect for card making!

Just a simple card that would be fun to give to that special someone you want to let know you were thinking about them this holiday season.  Yep, its for sale in my Etsy shop!

3D Pumpkin Tag

Do you ever give little gifts of baked goodies during the holidays?  Like maybe a loaf of yummy pumpkin bread?  This would be a cute tag to attach to it.

Or it could be used for your scrapbook page for the Thanksgiving holiday too.  So many different ideas.

I created the pumpkin using my round scalloped Nesties.  It took 4 circles.  I scored them in the middle and then glued them together to create the 3D look.

Sometime I love using the non traditional colors of a season to create my paper goodies.  Sometime we just have to be different huh?  By the way, the Thankful stamp is a Kim Hughes stamp.  Love her!

Tags are so fun to put together and create.  This one along with one in peachy colors is available in my Etsy shop.  I've also added lots of Christmas goodies too!  Go take a peek if you'd like!

Scrappy Thanksgiving Card

Being true to the name of my blog, this is an all the way scrappy card!  I used all scraps from my scrap bin.  I love doing that!

These papers are all old, but still beautiful, especially when they are grouped together like so.

I used a Martha Stewart punch for the little leaves.  I punched one from old book page and one from orange paper and then just slightly off set them together to create this look.

These rhinestones look blue in the photos, but they are actually a deep emerald green.  Not sure what happened there!

For me its fun to sit in the floor and pull out little scraps of paper that go together and then create a fun card with them.  This scrappy cutie is for sale in my Etsy store if you're interested.

Three Little Stamped Pumpkins

I haven't stamped in so long that I have forgotten how much I love the coloring part of it! So fun!  When I saw this card on Pinterest, I had to make one too!

You can see my inspiration HERE.  Of course I used a different pumpkin stamp for my card, but I think it turned out pretty cute anyways!

I used a Kim Hughes stamp set for the pumpkins.  Since the stamp was a single pumpkin, I had to use the masking technique to layer them.  I'm amazed I remember all this stuff! LOL!

I used my Copic markers to color them in.  I'm a bit rusty at shading, but practice makes perfect, right?

The Happy Thanksgiving sentiment is from the same Kim Hughes stamp set.  It's an old set from Cornish Heritage Farms called "Let's Get Stuffed".  I'm not sure if its available anymore, but maybe you can find it on Ebay or maybe another set close to it in Kim's new store called Paper Smooches.

P.S. This card is for sale in my Etsy shop if you're interested!

Sweet Little Button Pumpkin Card

Hello there! I have another Thanksgiving card to share with you.  As you may or may not know, I love Pinterest and I love pinning ideas I want to try later.  This card is one of the ideas I saved.  You can see my inspiration HERE.  Thanks so much for the idea nice lady!

Her card was made using a stamp set called "Button Buddies" which I don't have, so I improvised and drew in my stem and vine.

Such an adorable idea too!  I may need to look into what other ideas the "Button Buddies" set offers.

I created the little Happy Thanksgiving sentiment banner by printing the words on white card stock using my home printer and then cutting out the words in a banner shape.

The little pumpkin piece and the sentiment banner are popped off the card using foam tape.

Such a fun and easy card to put together.  You can find it for sale in my Etsy shop if you're interested.

Thanks for stopping by today. Please come again really soon, but until then...have a lovely day!  HUGS! :) 

Happy Harvest Pumpkin Tag

Are you ready for Thanksgiving and all its yummy food?  My favorite part is my Mama's dressing and of course the fact that I get to see all my family in one place!  I've been playing in my craft room again!

I made this little tag using Kraft card stock, a couple of stamps and some recycled paper for the pumpkins.  Everything I used was left over scraps.  I love using up my scraps!

The happy harvest stamp is a Kim Hughes stamp and the big flower stamp is a foam stamp I got at Hobby Lobby forever ago.  I used my Nesties to make the pumpkins.  You can go HERE to see how I make them.

This tag is 6" x 2 1/2" and is for sale in my Etsy shop with lots of other holiday goodies!

Vintage Thanksgiving Platter

Happy Thanksgiving! 

My guys and I are spending the day with my sweet Mama today! I can't wait to have some of my Mama's dressing and pumpkin pie! Yummy!  I wanted to share a platter I created for Thanksgiving with you before I go on down the road today.
I made it to sell in my Etsy shop, but before I listed it, I took it to work to show it off and one of my co-workers bought it in a flash! lol! I'm searching for more vintage platters to make more for next year though!

I used my Cricut Expressions machine and the Wild Card cartridge along with some brown vinyl to create this vintage beauty.

Just look at the yummy crackled vintage-y yumminess and the beautiful ornate detail this platter has going on! I love this look in vintage goodies!  I won the platter in an online auction along with lots of other china pieces you've seen me create other holiday goodies with. There are some in my Etsy shop right now and more coming up soon!

It's really hard to tell, but the leaf even has veins in it which makes it seem even more realistic. Love that!

One thing is for sure, when I do find another platter like this, I think I'll make myself one first and then create more for my Etsy shop! lol!  I had it displayed on my old hutch and was sad when I had to permanently remove it.....but I replaced it with a turkey platter my Granny gave me years ago and it looks wonderful sitting there. Darn it, I should have snapped a picture for you to see! Maybe later!

Thanksgiving Day is Just Around The Corner

Happy Monday!

How was your weekend? Mine was sunshiney bright!  I got lots of rest and did a whole bunch of nuthin'! I so needed that! Of course I found some time to play in my craft room too!

Since Thanksgiving is just around the corner, I thought a little turkey card was just about right! 

  

Pin It I used my Nesties to create the turkey. Instead of just papers to create the look I brought out some fabric and my cork.  The tail feathers are card stock covered in the fabric for a bit of sturdiness.

I added a cute little sentiment from The Cutting Cafe'.  It's from the set called Thanksgiving Day. I just free handed the little tag it's printed on.

I used some glitter paper for the feet and beak.  After I cut all the pieces I just layered them up to form the little turkey girl.  I think she turned out kinda cute!

This turkey girl card was lots of fun to make.  I hope you will try one for yourself! Be sure to visit Regina over at The Cutting Cafe' for your sentiment!

Gobble Til You Wobble - Peggy Loves Vintage

Happy Wednesday!

I can't believe it's already October! That means Halloween is right around the corner and then Thanksgiving! WOW! Today I have a little Snippet card that I've made using one of Peggy's vintage images from Peggy Loves Vintage.

Pin It This image is much larger when you purchase it from the store, but I just used my Printmaster program and reduced it to the size I needed to fit my Snippet card which measures 3" x 5 1/2".

Of course I used my textured paper to print the image on.....it gives it more of a vintage feel to me. Love all the warm Fall colors!

Just for some added interest to such a small card, I added lots of tiny brads in colors to pull from the image and background papers.  For my sentiment I added a Kim Hughes stamp...love that girl and her work!

This card is for sale in my Etsy shop if you need a sweet card to send to that special someone.  If you'd like to make your own cards using some awesome vintage images, please visit Peggy Loves Vintage and tell Peggy I sent you!  Thanks for stopping by to see me today.  I sure hope you come again really soon. Until then, have a lovely day!  HUGS! :)

Happy Wednesday! 

I've been enjoying making all the Fall cards lately, but when I spotted this cute little vintage image over at Peggy Loves Vintage Blog for FREE.....I had to make a Thanksgiving card!

Isn't this an adorable image?  I think two little boys ate way too much and are feeling the affects now! Heehee!

In case you're new to my blog, I always use textured paper to print my vintage images on.  To me it gives a more vintage look and adds to the charm of vintage images.

I used my Cricut Expressions machine and my Doodlecharms cartridge to cut out the little leaf, then I inked the edges to define it a bit more.  The orange paper you see here is a frozen dinner box I up-cycled.  Oh and of course...a bit more cork!

Let's get stuffed is a stamp from a Kim Hughes set.  My very first Kim Hughes stamp set to be exact.  It was perfect for this image!

I am loving this little card and how stinkin' adorable it is!  Peggy has so many cute, adorable fun, beautiful and playful images over at her store. If you haven't visited her yet...you really should! Don't forget to go grab your freebie from her blog and make your own Thanksgiving card.  Leave Peggy some comment love and please let her know I sent you!

Thanks for dropping by today. Please come again really soon, but until then...have a lovely day!  HUGS! :)
