CAS Copper Turkey Card

Are you seeing a theme for my Thanksgiving cards this year?

Most are pretty simple.

This one has a copper heat embossed turkey image.

I did this twice, cutting the lower portion off

and then mounting it over the main turkey image

with dimensionals to pop it up.

I used a "Southwest" corner punch

then ran copper trim through the notches.

This was a popular detail for cards years ago.

This panel is adhered to a copper card stock panel

with thinstrips of chipboard and 

double stick tape to create dimension. 

It also helps mount it evenly due to the

trim running underneath the stamped panel.

All of this is glued to a matching naturals

off white card stock base.

All supplies used were oldies from Stampin' Up!

Thanks for looking =)

Copper Leaves Grateful Card

Another skeleton leaf (leaves!) card.

The leaves on this card were sponge painted with

metallic craft paints by myself. They were originally 

dyed a sort of purple color. 

I stamped "grateful" with a permanent ink

onto twill tape. I lightly frayed the ends

and added leaf eyelets.

Everything is adhered to a wood grain texture 

background with heavy duty double stick tape. 

The card stock is Very Vanilla. 

Rubber stamp image and wood grain

embossing folder were from Stampin' Up!

Eyelets unknown, they were gifted to me.

Skeleton leaves were bought years ago

on after Christmas clearance from Wal Mart. 

Thanks for looking =) 

 

Gold Skeleton Leaf Card

This is the first of the Thanksgiving cards

that I made this year and

you can't get much simpler than this for a card!

The base is a handmade paper.

No, I didn't make it myself ;)

I adhered a gold skeleton leaf with

double stick tape.

A hand stamped and hand cut banner

with leaf eyelet detail was adhered 

over the top of the leaf, hiding the tape.

I hope that the leaf survives the mail system

to get to the recipient in one piece. 

Thanks for looking =)

I also used Connie's Blends Volume 1 template for the above layout.

It made that faded image of the roses easy.

18th Birthday Balloons Card

There are 18 paper punched balloons on this card

(not as many hand drawn strings, though!)

The paper punch is unknown. It is an oldie

I think I found at a dollar store and has no markings.

Travelogue South Dakota Digi Kit

The newest Travelogue collection by Connie Prince is

South Dakota! 

I've not been there personally, yet, but this kit 

can be used to scrap other things.

There are some neat motorcycle images in it.

It can also be combined with any of her

other Travelogue kits, the colors all coordinate :)

I used the Rt 66 sign from the Travelogue Oklahoma kit

on this page, but everything else is in the South Dakota kit.
