Hello crafty friends!
Today I have another Friendsgiving card, perfect timing for the Thanksgiving holiday!
Hello crafty friends!!
Today I used DRS stamps: Happy Friendsgiving and Pie and Coffee. It was fun thinking of a Friendsgiving potluck I will attend soon. The pie and coffee really brought that thought home!
For my card:
- I used the WOVEN PLAID - 613P stamping it on orange card stock with a darker orange memento ink.
- Next, I used a Simon Says pumpkin die cut to cut the pumpkin pieces. I then sponged both edges of each of the pumpkin pieces with the same orange memento ink and glued them together.
- I then cut the green stem from a textured green card stock.
- I added some punched twigs and flowers and finished the flowers with Nuvo drops.
- For the banner I used the 1 LINE HAPPY THANKSGIVING - 841D and pupped it up on dimensionals.
Thank you for stopping by to check out my card this week.

We are on the downhill slide to Thanksgiving and Christmas now - seems like this is the fastest two months of the year.
Today, I have a Friendsgiving card made with these two stamps:
You Make Friendsgiving Special
With my watercolors, I added a horizon, some shadows and a bit of leaves on the trees. I took my leftover paint and splattered it on. Super quick and easy.
Hello crafty friends.
It's November, time to show thankfulness for friends and family.
I've used DRS Designs stamps: Cornucopia and Happy Friendsgiving
Hello Crafty Friends!
I have an easy card to share featuring the lovely Hayrides Harvest Greeting which always makes me smile.
The greeting gives you lots of options for images, and this time I focused on trees (thinking next time it will be cider or acorns). The trees were super easy - I look a scrap piece of card stock dipped in gray watercolor paint and scraped it along in lines up and down. Then I just sponged on two different colors of yellow watercolor paint dabbing here and there followed by splattered, red, black and white paint. I like the effect, but next time I would use watercolor paper for the base instead of white cardstock, would use a credit card for making the trees, and would use acrylic paint for the dabbing of the yellow leaves (to hide the trees more). Still it was very fun and quick to make.
Hope you are enjoying Fall wherever you are and getting ready for the big upcoming holidays as they are coming on us fast.
Hugz,
Nancy

Hello Crafty Friends, hope your weekend is going well.
I have a quick card made with an oak leaf and a fun new stamp from DRS Designs.
Hello Crafty Friends,
Sometimes the sentiment/greeting totally makes the card and DRS Designs has some fabulous ones. Today I used the Get Based Greeting, and it works perfectly with this crazy turkey I water-colored.
Hi Everyone,
I was organized enough one year to do a Friendsgiving event in October. It was fantastic! Everyone brought something, everyone got along, and no one was dreading the holiday season tasks to come! I cannot recommend this party idea enough :)
For this card today I masked off a diagonal section of the card stock and sponged on some fall leaf colors. Specifically, yellow, orange and red. I used the Open Leaf stamp and added those on top of the strip.

Hi Everyone,
I don't use the Stained-Glass stamps near enough. They really elevate a stamp that has been used many times, into something new! I stamped the Fall Leaf with Acorn inside the Small Stained-Glass stamp, but there are various sizes of stained-glass stamps to choose from.
I colored up the leaf and acorn and then did a gradient coloring on the stained glass portion. For the background I used a fall leaf embossing folder and the Open Leaf stamp that I colored up to match.
The new You Make Friendsgiving Special Greeting (235E) was the perfect pairing for the images.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Crafty Friends!
If you are looking for some fun Friendsgiving images, I have two to share today. I have never done Friendsgiving, but both my daughters have done it for years. I am lobbying my Bunco group to do as our November theme - even if we just do desserts or something. If they agree, I plan to make 11 cards like these.
My first card uses the new You Make Friendsgiving Special Greeting (235U). I made the back panel by scoring white cardstock and then dragging three different distress inks down the paper. I drew in a few lines and ovals too. The wreath is from Sizzix (Tim Holtz Funky Wreath Thinlet) which I cut out of white paper and then sponged with the darker colors from the wood panel. After that, I stamped the sentient on some kraft paper and popped it up a bit after sponging. It needed some flowers or something so I die cut some using another Tim Holtz die (Modern Floristry) drawing a few doodles and putting in some stamens with Black Stickles.
Hello crafty friends.
The minute someone says Fall is coming, I think of pumpkin pie. My Dad made the best pumpkin pie with a middle layer of cheesecake. I wish I had that recipe! No cheesecake layer in this pumpkin pie, but it still makes me hungry!
To make this, I stamped the Pie and Coffee image three times. The base layer also has Thanksgiving - Thinking of You. I watercolored all three images and cut out the pie and coffee in detail on one layer and just the pie on the other. I think sponged the edges of everything with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide in Vintage Photo. The layers were then stacked with foam tape.
Hi Everyone,
I'm still celebrating the fall season with my card today. Lots of leaves in fall colors and a super sentiment to celebrate Thanksgiving.
I dry embossed my background and then sponged the leaves with different fall colors to make them more pronounced. The Gather Hope Thanksgiving Greeting was stamped, and I added a punched border along with a few brads.
Good morning happy crafters!
Wow, we have had some good stormy weather the last few days and NOW it feels like fall! Leaves are turning and dropping everywhere. One thing I don't like though, tree limbs are coming down too and sometimes, right where I walk or drive, so far NOT on me though, YAY!!
Anyway, let's talk about crafting!! Here is a fun easy fall card I made with a few previously made backgrounds (there are days where I have stuff out and just get my hands totally inky with making background panels, it's kind of addicting). In this case even the leaves are die cut from one of those panels with Tim Holtz 3D leaf set die and some acorn dies. I used DRS Designs new sentiment Always Thankful Greeting. The rest is just layering the brightly colored panels with black panels and adding ribbon to one of those layers.
Hi Everyone,
Sadly, the trees where I live are now all bare, but I'm trying to keep all the vibrant fall colors alive by using them on my cards.
Here is the fourth and final card using some background paper that I made. You can click here to see how I made it out of one 8 1/2"x 11" piece of card stock. The stamps I used are:
The sentiment stamp named Season of Thanks Oval, was heat embossed using a glittery powder and colored using regular, non-alcohol based markers.
This card features the new Gather Hope Thanksgiving Greeting, that was embellished with a couple of little pumpkins to match my embossed background.
The pumpkins are from the 4 in 1 Harvest Designs.
For more fall goodness, I stamped a border of the Open Leaf and colored them up to match!
Thanks for popping in!
