Happy ThanksChanukah!!

Wow!  I like this!!  Hanukkah and Thanksgiving all in one card!  

How great is that!  

This is the first time since 1888 that the two holidays combined.  I am guessing I won't be seeing this happen again so I took advantage of it.   Instead of making 10 cards....I only had to make 5 cards!!

I found the digital online.  Printed them out with my new printer onto my favorite white cardstock-Georgia Pacific.  I have not been able to figure out how to print in fast mode for my digital images so I wasn't sure if the ink would smudge when I colored it with my markers right away.  No smudging and no extra drying time thank goodness!!

The gold paper was embossed with Sizzix folder, trimmed with a Stamp Up edger and glued down to a navy blue mat that was edged with Fiskars punch.  After taping down my Turkey (off the mat so I trimmed part of the circle off), I wrapped a gold thin cord around three times.  To make sure everything would stick down well, I used my Scor-tape to hold it together with.  Yellow stickles and a couple of gold sticker bling finished off the card. 

 The cards are A2 size.

All 5 have been signed and ready to go in the mail tomorrow.  

To those who celebrate both holidays.....Happy ThanksChanukah!!!

Thanksgiving Turkey Cards

OUCH!!

Has it really been that long since I last posted?

Between shoulder injury, surgery and company for several weeks...it seems my blog has been quiet...but I am back to making cards.

I found a turkey stamp for a dollar and made a couple of cards I wanted to share with you.

The first card is the tri-shutter fold and the flowers (one the front and the bud) are dahlia folds. The wording was printed on my computer.

The second card is a tent fold card. Very easy. I enjoy making this card and will make more for my co-workers for Christmas to display on their desk through the holiday season!

   

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday!!

Thanksgiving Windshield Wiper Card

The monthly challenge at StampingPalace.com is the windshield wiper card. I have always wanted to try this technique. Last night I decided to give it a try. This was such a fun card to create! I chose the stamps Pilgrims and Gobble Gobble. Colored them with markers and used stickers to give a bit of sparkle. In my button drawer, I found some leaf buttons that went perfectly in the corner.
