Thankful Note Cards

Good morning! It's Roxanne here with a Thanksgiving themed project for you today. I think I'll put these out on our placemats for our Thanksgiving morning breakfast (along with these cute little place cards I created in September as well). Something for each of us to complete for things that we are thankful for. I will use them within a mini album I'm creating for another project. It will be nice to look back to see what the boys were thankful for at their ages of 5 and 10!

I have listed all products at the end of the post. I'll explain my process briefly and include close up photos as well!

I made five cards for each of us with 4 different designs. I figured we could each choose one design and think of five things we are thankful for and write them down.

I cut the cards from a simple white cardstock down to 3"x4" and rounded all four corners. I then cut out 20 little craft circles using the largest circle in the Let's Bokeh die set. Inside those, I stamped with black ink the little turkey leg, corn, knife and fork, and pumpkin pie from the Happy Feast set and colored them in with my colored pencils.

I also cut out quite a few of the stitches leaves from various paper I had in my stash. I ran those through my Xyron and included a grouping of them in corners on the cards. I then glued down my colored cutie images on top of the leaves, and stamped the sentiment "I'm so thankful" on each card in brown ink.

They needed something else, so I went back in with various little bits from the sets listed below and added in fun elements to the cards with my Scattered Straw (what's a more perfect fall color than that??) in no particular order and just had fun with it!

I love how they turned out.

What are YOU thankful for? I hope all those celebrating have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

No stamping autumn thanks

Hello.

Its Kate here today and i have four cards and not one single bit of stamping.

I wanted to show off some of my favourite dies from Lawn Fawn.

This first card was going to be my project for today but as I was making it my mind was just flowing with ideas so i went with them lol.

I wanted to just do some inlaid die cutting  but I only inlaid the leaves from the Stitched leaves dies.

Once each piece was cut I coloured it with distress inks.

Everything was adhered back in place and I wanted some extra detail so I used the awesome stitched borders dies...seriously these are the most versatile dies.

The scripty thanks sentiment was cut from black card stock and adhered over the leaves.

Everything was adhered and placed on a ready made  card blank.

Next up I started with a white panel and using a scrap piece of  card that had 3 of the small stitched leaves cut from it i used it as a stencil.

I covered the whole panel and overlapped the leaves and went through a range of distress inks in autumnal colours.

I had a spare large leaf die cut so coloured that in the same colours and added to the panel before placing the scripty thanks over it.

It was then finished with some gold glimmer  mist some gold sequins and gold twine from lawn fawn.

Card number three and that centre panel is the stencil i used on card two. 

No waste here :)

I simply used a scrap card and double sided tape and made a panel using the gold lawn fawn twine to go behind the open spaces.

Before adding the scripty thanks i added some drops of gold glimmer  mist to the panel.

And lastly I used the three small leaves left from making cards two and three. 

Again i coloured them with distress inks and then tapped the lower section of the leaves onto a gold inkpad.

I then did the same with the black scripty thanks.

They were all adhered to a white panel that had been die cut with the scripty borders.

Thanks for looking.
