Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello there, blog friends.  Are you all prepping for your Thanksgiving day festivities?  I know I still have a lot to do!  I did manage to create a Thanksgiving card for you all.  :)

As you can see, I'm enjoying my Circle Thinlets die!

 This time, I added a fold out panel so that you can write out a bit more on the inside:

 Flip open the card, and you'll see the Happy Thanksgiving greeting inside….isn't that fun?

Hope you like it!  

Here's the recipe for the card:

Happy Thanksgiving card:

*Inks: Early Espresso
*Accessories: In Color DSP - Summer Starfruit, Circle Thinlits die, Scallop punch, Label bracket punch, dimensionals, Early Espresso Stitched Grosgrain ribbon

Birthday fun with the Circle Card Thinlit die

Hi all!  Have you seen how fun the thinlit die cut cards are?  Here's a birthday card I created for a dear friend of ours using the Circle card thinlits die.

Here's another view of the card:

And what's a card without a lined envelope?

I just love the envelope liner framelits! They come in 3 sizes - liners to fit the standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", 3" x 5", and 3" x 3" envelopes.  These dies are great to have in your crafting stash for coordinating your card projects.  LOVE them.

Hope you liked my quick share today.  I can't wait to make more with these framelits.  They are a delightful surprise to receive and are definitely a nice change-up to the traditional cards.  I encourage you to give it a whirl!

Thanks for stopping by!  Ciao for now.

Spoiler alert! November Paper Pumpkin project

Hi all!  I was so excited to get this month's My Paper Pumpkin package in the mail today and was even more pleasantly surprised at the super cute project I found inside!  Don't get me wrong, I love getting my orange box in the mail every month, but I have to say I absolutely love this adorably festive holiday card. For the November project, you get this card kit which contains supplies to create 4 of these Noel cards with envelopes along with 2 stamps {the star and the sentiment} + 1 Real Red Stamping Spot pad.  I think what I love most about the project is the star garland!  It adds that special touch of fancy to the card, don't you think?  I'm happy to say this card marks my first holiday card of the season. How about you guys?  Have you started?

I personally am so behind on the holidays in general this year. It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is already right around the corner! Time is definitely flying.  I'll need to go into high gear with my turkey day planning - I'll be sure to share my ideas with you soon!

Thanks for visiting me today.  Hope you have a great one!

And the winner is...

Hi all!  I wanted to announce the winner of my Halloween Trick or Treat who'll be the lucky recipient of the Merry Little Christmas Simply Created Card Kit giveaway.  It's newfiecrafter (Marilyn)!

Happy Halloween and a blog Trick or Treat!

Hello all!  Hope you are having a great day so far.  I have a little devil that wanted to pop in and wish you a Happy Halloween!  He's certainly the friendliest looking little devil, isn't he?  We'll be off to do some Trick-or-treating festivities shortly.

I made this cute digital card using MDS2.  It's so easy to use and love how quick I can put something together!

Now it wouldn't quite a complete Halloween experience if you didn't get to go trick or treating on this visit to my blog, right?  So for those of you that would like to leave me a message today, I'll be giving away a fun little treat to one lucky commenter.  How about getting you started on your holiday cards with the cute Merry Little Christmas Simply Created Card Kit from the Holiday Mini?

Just leave me a comment on this blog post by midnight Pacific Time on Sunday, November 3rd and I'll pick one lucky winner and announce on Monday, November 4th!  So, be sure to check back here to see who the winner is.

Good luck and have a fun time trick or treating! :)

Easy and quick Halloween banner!

Hi all!  How are you?  Thanks for popping by today.  With Halloween just around the corner, I wanted to whip up something quick and easy to put on my mantle, so I created this little banner!  Here's a bit of a closer view:

I used the Perfect Pennants Bigz L die for my banner and the festive designer series paper I used is the Witches' Brew DSP from the Holiday catalog.  I love the versatile Morning Post Alphabet - it's my new favorite! AND it happens to be on sale right now for $26.21.  A great bargain!

Stampin'Up! is having an awesome sale on 25 stamp sets at 25% off that you can check out - it's going on now until October 28th!

Hope you guys have a great day!  So glad you came by. :)
