Gold, Silver, One Layer Card

I cannot believe that Thanksgiving is approaching fast!!! I hope you all are ready for this special day. Today, I would like to share a quick Thanksgiving card I created. I am inspired by Virginia’s View Challenge #9 this month:

So many gorgeous pictures for inspirations, aren’t they? And I decided to go with one layer with gold and silver embossing only. A quick and simple Thanksgiving card.

I arranged the leaves from Thankful Heart stamp set (B1463) on 3″ x 3″ My Acrylix® Block and stamped them using VersaMark ink pad (Z891) randomly on the card. Then I added some Ranger Gold Embossing Powder (Z2066). Then heat set it using Craft Heater (Z555). After that, I stamped the sentiment using VersaMark ink pad (Z891) and added some Ranger Silver Embossing Powder (Z2067). I heat set it.

I love the metallic looking!

Inside the card, I added a piece of copy paper that I folded into two and used Scallop Border punch (Z1851) to punch the edge. I added it inside layer using adhesive in the middle of the card. Then stamped the Happy Thanksgiving from Thankful Heart set (B1463) using Autumn Terracotta Exclusive Ink Pad (Z2101).

I also link up this card at Inspire Me Monday, Week 150. Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Joyful Stars Blog Hop: Christmas Projects

18 days ’till Thanksgiving and…
46 days ’till Christmas from today!

We are getting excited for this Holidays. I am finishing our Thanksgiving cards. They are ready to be sent out! And I have made a list of projects for Christmas. Number one project on my Christmas project list is making cards for family and friends, followed by decorations and kids craft projects 🙂

For this month Joyful Stars blog hop, I wanna share with you the cards I made using Snowhaven Cardmaking Kit. I got 15 cards (3 designs, 5 cards each design) done in 1 hour! You only need basic stamping supplies like My Acrylix® Blocks, Exclusive Inks® Stamp Pads (Glacier, Cranberry, and Whisper), glue and 3D foam tape.

Also, those stamp images outlined in red coordinate with the Cricut® Artbooking collection (Z1906).

This blog hop starts at Joyce’s blog and you should be arrived from her blog.

Here are the 3 design of 15 cards I made couple of days ago:

I always have some left over from a kit I used. And check out one of the gift treat bags I made using the Snowhaven Cardmaking kit:

On one of the Designer Creations Ruby Paper Bags, I added some Sequins Gold Assorment and Snowhaven complements. I added a paper doily and gold tread using Liquid Glass. And finished it up with a staples on the flap using the new Mini Stapler. Love how this turn out!

What I like from these Close To My Heart Workshop On The Go Kits that these kits make all projects easy, quick and save money, too!

DIY Quick Note Card Set

One of the things I am always thankful for our church is that they care so much for missionaries who come to visit and share with us what God has been doing through their lives on the field. There is a little closet we called it as Missionary Cupboard, where missionaries who visit our church can find supplies (school supplies, stationeries, note books, kids toys, craft supplies for kids, diapers, soaps, towels, hand sanitizer, toilet papers, etc.) if they need any.

This weekend is our Mission Focus. And there will be some missionaries visiting and sharing with us. And we need extra supplies for Mission Cupboard. I have been making note card sets for this cupboard 🙂

This is one of the sets I made. I made them quick and easy. I found a box of lace border cards at store and been sitting in my drawer for a while. I cut piece of ribbon as wide as the card, stapled it using Mini Stapler on both edge and then add the sentiment with 3D Foam Tape.

The frame is from one of the stamps from Holiday Tags set (D1560). The sentiments are from Give A Lift (D1581). I stamped them using Canary Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad (new color on the block!)
