Give Thanks

Tis the season!! Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I am super excited! Gotta start planning Thanksgiving dinner soon! In the meantime, here's one of the Thanksgiving themed cards I made.

It's so simple, classic and really didn't take much time to do. But I love the colors, and just love how simply elegant it looks.

I used Kraft paper as card base, Champagne cardstock as layer, and stamped the flower from Happy Autumn stamp set in Goldrush. Sentiment is stamped using Chocolate ink and to top it, I attached a brown ribbon and made a bow.



Here's the image of the complete Happy Autumn stamp set. I love this stamp set! I am a big floral stamp collector and anything flowers automatically becomes my favorite. You can use these images not just for Thanksgiving for pretty much for any occasion.

Thankful

Pathfinding is one of my favorite papers in the whole Annual Inspirations book. Shocking since I didn't care for it much in the beginning. But after making lots of scrapbook pages using this paper packet, it has grown on me and now it's become my favorite.

I love how classic and simple this card turned out to be. I got my inspiration from one of the Cricut Explore's Make It Now projects, I just tweaked the focus so I could use the Pathfinding Scrapbook WOTG stamp set. I love this stamp set!








Enjoy!

Autumn Cards

Now that I've done my scrapbook layouts, am back to making cards again! I've been hoping we'd get some nice cool weather out here soon, but that doesn't seem likely. So, I'll just pour my energy into these fall themed cards and hope that that cool day comes soon!

My first card uses my scraps from the Pathfinding Cardmaking WOTG, and I used the stamp from the Always Grateful set. I sponged the edges using Goldrush ink, and double dipped on both Chocolate and Goldrush ink to get a 2-toned effect. Don't you just love the color change on the sentiment "Ah Autumn"? I love it! The woodgrain washi tape I believe is retired. I love how it contributed to the whole nature fall look.




This second card uses the Beyond Measure stamp set, and I've added the leaves and vines from a retired set called Be Grateful. I added a tiny scrap of paper from the Pathfinding collection and gold shimmer trim to add some pop. And of course, to top the whole thing, I added it some brown and tan sparkles!



Here's what the stamp sets look like.

Fall Pathfinding Workshop

Fall is here and my workshop is finally created and completed! You've seen my card workshop portion before, and now here's the scrapbook layout portion of it.

This workshop uses the Pathfinding Scrapbooking WOTG. To make this 2-page layout, the cost is $15 and everything comes pre-cut and pre-stamped.



Big thanks to Sandie's team member Angela for this inspiration. They got me so pumped up, and tremendously helped me move forward to complete this month's workshop.

For those interested in the card workshop, below is what you'll be making. This card workshop consists of 3 cards and cost $12. Everything comes pre cut and pre stamped. 



Here's what the entire Pathfinding Cardmaking Workshop On The Go kit looks like. This kit can make 15 cards and features 3 card styles. It also comes with a stamp set, shimmer trim and embellishments.

I will be hosting a workshop locally on Saturday, October 25 from 1-4pm. If you're interested please send me an email and I'll send location details. Last day to register is October 19.
