"Thankful for You" Swan Lake Thin Cuts card

Hello.  I wanted to share another of my cards from my September card class.  I think it turned out pretty cute.

The papers used were all from the "Swan Lake" paper pack (I told you I loved this paper).  The images are from the "Thankful for You" stamp set.  I purchased the bundle that included the coordinating Thin Cuts as well.  The Thin Cuts are run though a die cut machine (I have both a Cuttlebug and a Big Shot).  It's a quick alternative to fussy cutting (which, those of you who know me, know I love to do), but for classes, this is a bit faster option.

Pretty cute, right?  I love to have some dimension on my cards and it was easy to do with these images.  I just popped up the swan's wing and a flower with some foam adhesive and added a couple sparkles and voila! 

Here's a look at the "Thankful for You" bundle.  They come packaged together, so you won't misplace one or the other.  And the thin cuts come on a magnetic sheet, which is awesome.

I'm entering this card in two challenges: 

The "Swan Lake" challenge over at the Between the Fold Challenge blog, HERE.

And this week's Color My Heart Color Dare challenge, HERE.

As always, thank you for taking the time to stop by.  See you soon!

"Happy Fall" woodland critters card

Happy Fall y'all!  Here's another fun card we made in my September card workshop.  I wanted to use these cute little critters on a card the minute I saw them.

I used my favorite patterned paper from the Swan Lake paper pack and an embossed woodgrain paper from the Rustic Home paper pack.  The woodgrain just seemed so fitting for these woodland critters.

The "Happy Fall" sentiment word bubble is a Cricut cut on the CTMH Artistry cartridge.  I stamped each animal on it's own white daisy square and did just a tiny bit of paper piecing on the raccoon.  He definitely needed the black bandit mask.  Lastly some silver sequins and sparkles were added for that little something extra.

Here's a closer look at the "Woodland Critters" stamp set used.

I've entered this card in two different challenges:

The "Woodgrain" challenge over at the "Heart 2 Heart" blog.  You can find it HERE.

The "Swan Lake" challenge over at the "Between the Folds" blog.  You can find it HERE.  

I hope you liked what you saw.  Thanks for stopping by.

Hey there Pumpkin!

Now that's a fun sentiment.  This is one of the cards we made in my September card workshop.  For this card I used the "Swan Lake" paper pack and the CTMH stamp set called "Autumn Wishes".  I'm in love with the "Swan Lake" paper.  I just can't get enough of the black mixed with these fall colors.  

I just love the pumpkin images in this set too.  I was inspired to create the pumpkin layers by a card made by the talented Brenda Rose.  You can see her card HERE.   For the base of the card and the sentiment I used CTMH's Kraft cardstock.  I also cut a strip of black glitter paper as an accent and tied a small knot on the stem of the pumpkin using Fern thick twine.
