French Foilage Thanksgiving

I was wanting to make a few Thanksgiving cards, and wanted to use a unique stamp set to make them with. I decided to use the new French Foilage set that is in the Holiday Mini Catalog
In trying to decide upon a color theme, I went to my trusty Color Coach, and chose Bravo Burgundy, Always Artichoke & More Mustard. I really like how it all turned out.

Here is a picture of the inside. I used the stamp set Seasonal Sentiments (also in the Holiday Mini) as the saying.

Another Holiday Mini Project

Ever have a season of little to no creativity? Well, I've been having one of those times lately. Hoping that it passes quickly! Here is a project I put together awhile back. It's a 6x6 scrapbook page using the Cute Christmas stamp set from the Holiday Mini.

New Holiday Mini

The new Holiday Mini Catalog is here! And, I'm showing a simple card made with one of the sets from it today.

The stamp set is called A Cute Christmas and it's a set of 9 simply adorable Christmas stamps. Perfect for so many projects!

The image was stamped onto a piece of Whisper White card stock that was first run through the Sizzix Big-Shot using the Ovals Originals Die, and colored in using markers. The tree with the star was given a bit of "bling" using one of the new Basic Rhinestones. I took 3 different colors of card stock (Garden Green, Blushing Bride & Real Red) and ran them through the Sizzix Big-Shot using the Petals-a-Plenty Textured Impressions folder. The stamped image was then attached over the 3 strips using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Owl Card Make & Take

The End of Summer Stamp Bazaar I held this past Saturday was a success! I had a number of people through. Here is the card that I had out for everyone to make.

I just love this little owl. He's made using the new 2-step owl punch from the 2010/2011 Idea Book & Catalog. The "tree" is made using a strip of Soft Suede card stock that has been textured using the Sizzix Big-Shot and the Texture Plates kit #4. The leaves are made using the Little Leaves Sizzlit (also to be used with the Big-Shot). The owl is made using Chocolate Chip and Whisper White card stock and the Level 1 Hostess pack of In-Color Designer Series paper.

The card base is a 8-1/2"x11" piece of Pear Pizzazz card stock (one of the new In-Colors).
