Giving THANKS at the Sisterhood

 Hello my friends!

Today I have a card for the new challenge over on The Sisterhood of Crafters!

 

Our theme today is:

 

Thanks

 

I have a couple very old & dear friends that I don't think I let know how much they mean to me .. at least not often enough!  So, this card will be in the mailbox today to one of them.

 

Once again, I'm playing with some of the Paper Cut Outs by Stamperia.com that I purchased through Scrapbook.com last year.  These fun images (4 sheets in each set) make for quick & easy cards which are also very 'mailable'.   I love the little scenes you can create with them.

My sentiment stamp is an oldie but goodie by Sara Davies and can probably only be found now on eBay.  I've used one of the word sentiments and then inked up the maple leaf to add some side dimension.

I hope you'll come join in our challenge fun at The Sisterhood of Crafters!

My 'sistahs' have created some fabulous creations to help inspire you ...

Can You Handle the Pressure - Twist - Food and/or Drink

  Hello Friends, thanks for stopping by today!

We have a new challenge starting today over on our new Can You Handle The Pressure Challenge Blog and the TWIST theme is ...

Food and/or Drink

Remember, the twist is optional but you MUST use an embossing folder on your projects to qualify for the prize.  Heat embossing is also permitted but only in conjunction with an embossing folder.

 Here's what I've created to inspire you today.  

For the background on today's card, I have used an old Embossalicious 'Petite Dots' embossing folder.  My 'food element' is an Elizabeth Craft 'Strawberry' die set (#1777).  After die cutting the pieces and coloring with my Tombow markers, I punched a small circle to use as the base to create my strawberry focus then adhered to my card front.  

My sentiment is by Penny Black (circa 2006).  I've used the same red Tombow marker as I used on the strawberries for my stamping then die cut using a Sue Wilson stitched flag die.

I do hope you'll come check out our challenge blog and play along.
