AESTAMPS A LATTE

Hello, fellow stampers!  Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I wanted to thank each and everyone of you for all of the sweet comments you have made on my blog. Thank you so very much! I appreciate each and everyone of your comments. : ). Today I am sharing an "odd" sized Thanksgiving card and matching envelope that we made at a recent stamp club.  I purposely made the card an odd shape so that we could make a matching envelope using the very cool Envelope Punch Board.  That thing is so much fun!  I am sure you have seen the many, many things you can make with this simple tool.  Today's post shows a file folder look on the card as well as the matching envelope.  We used basic White card stock to create the envelope and stamped the inside to match the card.  NOTE: Using card stock instead of your DSP will save you money  if you are making a lot of the same thing- which we were.   The 2nd picture isn't the best to show the cool envelope....but y...

Here's another card I made using the awesome Wonderfall stamp set and matching Autumn Accents Bigz Die.  I ran the piece of Sweater Weather DSP that is the color Tangerine Tango through my Big Shot using the Stripes Embossing Folder and then sanded it down with my sanding block.  It really gives it a warm, fuzzy feeling. : ) Of course I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set to give the leaves added dimension.  Can't live (or stamp) without the stamp set!   RECIPE: STAMPS: Wonderfall (#128097) Gorgeous Grunge (#130517) and Banner Greetings (#129714) INK: Chocolate Chip, Crushed Curry, Sahara Sand and Tangerine Tango PAPER: Chocolate Chip, Sahara Sand and Very Vanilla ACCESSORIES: Sweater Weather DSP, Autumn Accents Bigz Die, 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon, Stripes Embossing Folder, Sanding block, Linen Thread and Chocolate Chip Brads.   Thanks for stopping by today!  Happy stamping!

Today, I played along with two challenges...my first time doing this!  I played along with Freshly Made Sketches and the Paper Players blog.  It definitely was a challenge!  Very fun to work those creative muscles!  Here are the sketches:                                           I took the picture of my card late in the day today, so the lighting is not the best, but I really wanted to get a post on my blog as I think it feels neglected! :) I made this card for a very dear person who is my neighbor at our cabin in Canada. Her name is Margaret and she is truly an awesome person.  Over the Labor Day weekend, she bought all the neighbor girls an Italian Porcelain night light and handed them out to all of us at our annual pot luck get together for our birthdays....
