Grateful

This is for a Thanksgiving challenge over at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations.  I made this 3D project for my World Card Making Day event in Atlanta (see previous post).  I simply took a piece of Stampin' Up! Petals & Paisleys dsp and wrapped a large Ghiradelli bar.  It killed me not to eat it!  It was Sea Salt Caramel flavor.  YUM!

I stamped the flower from Paisleys and Posies and then a sentiment from the October Paper Pumpkin kit. I created a flower of sorts from the Paisleys framelits.  I cut six and just put a glue dot on each to hold them down.  I wrapped ribbon around the long way to keep the bar in place.  The ribbon is part of a trio from the holiday catalog.  It coordinates with the Petals & Paisleys.

I thought it would be nice to have these on the table for Thanksgiving.  Why don't you go over to Scrap-Creations and play along?!  Please let me know what you think before you take off!

I love the soft and pretty color combination by the talented Lynn Hoyt!  This is for the Pals Paper Arts color challenge.  I think it could be used for just about anything - baby, sympathy, birthday, get well, etc. I decided to make a thank you.  I used the beautiful new set called Thoughtful Branches which is only available from August 2-31, while supplies last.  I just had to have it!  

I have to be honest...I had some glue smeared on my paper from when I put the hydrangea down.  I almost started over but saw someone on Pinterest who had cut flowers out and popped them.  That's what I chose to do and it did make the glue disappear!  I also added Wink of Stella pen to the flower.  The rest was easy. I used an Aqua Painter to watercolor some Marina Mist on the background.  I used Whisper White cardstock.  I decided to keep the embellishments on the sentiment piece.  I used a bit of Smoky Slate baker's twine and a heart from a retired punch in Marina Mist.  Easy peasy!  Thanks for stopping by and please let me know what you think!

Going Green with Scrap-Creations

Hi Stampers!  Here is my card for a GREEN challenge on Scrap-Creations.  I know someone whose birthday is very close to St. Paddy's Day so I made this for her.  I'm so excited to be a part of this design team!

I used the Birthday Blossoms set from Stampin' Up!  I simply colored with an Aqua Painter and the Cucumber Crush ink pad, ran the Cucumber Crush cardstock through the Elegant Dots embossing folder, and then added a strip of the envelope paper.  I also created a liner with the same paper using the envelope liner framelits.  Let me know what you think and if you have questions! Please check out the amazing DT cards at Going Grey With Scrap-Creations!  And join the challenge!!
Thanks for stopping by.
