Hello everyone! Lexa here today with a last card for Thanksgiving Theme Week. I bet you are all feel so inspired by the talented ladies from the last few days. We have a 15% discount on all items in our Thanksgiving sectionduring this theme week and items are going fast!
First I stamped all the images from Pumpkin Patch Critter Stamps with Versafine black ink then watercolor them with Distress Markers and Kuretake Gansai Tambi. I can’t resist all the adorable critters that peek behind the pumpkins. I use Distress Inks for the background, I blended Tea Dye and Vintage Photo for the ground,as for the sky I use Squeezed Lemonade and Candy Apple. I think it’s better to keep on the color combinations coordinate with each others to keep the balance. For this card, I stuck with fall hues and warm tones.
I used the super pretty jewels in Marigold color on the sky to create some dimensions and sparkle. And this jewel is also in the Thanksgiving section which in on sale! Yay!
Here is a closer look at the adorable critters on my card. I’m so in love with each of them! I add rosy cheeks just because it looks so cute on them.
Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you all like what I made today and have a wonderful day. Don’t forget to check the items in our Thanksgiving section!
Hello Everyone! Angelica here, and I am so glad you’re joining me on the Pretty Pink Posh today for Thanksgiving theme week. I have two cards to share with you using different fall and Thanksgiving themed stamps.
My first card is all about background stamping. I love making my own backgrounds. Its nice to pick out stamps from a few sets that coordinate nicely together. For this background, I used Autumn Wreath and Happy Turkey stamp sets. In random order, starting in the middle, I placed stamps close together on Copic-friendly paper and stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink. I found it helpful to do this in my MISTI. When I finished, I colored the images with Copic markers.
I used The small scallop circle from the Scallop Circle Die set to cut the window out. I also cut the same scallop circle out of purple pearl paper. I taped the circle to the backside of the card-front using washi tape, then added foam adhesive strips. before attaching the card front to an A2 card base, I stamped a sentiment from Giving Thanks stamp set. I then assembled the card, used a white gel pen and Raspberry Jewels to add accents.
For the second card, I kept the front clean and simple.
I stamped out the adorable pilgrims from Giving Thanks stamp set, pumpkins from Pumpkin Patch Critters, and leaves from Autumn Wreath(leaves were stamped on the card base). After coloring the images, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.
I stamped the sentiment from Giving thanks stamp set, and added the pilgrims with adhesive squares. I glued the pumpkins behind them, and colored small shadows with warm gray Copic markers. I added the card front to an A2 Size card base, then glued on Espresso Jewels using Ranger Multi Media Matte.
There has been so much Thanksgiving Inspiration this week, and there’s still one day to go! I hope you have been enjoying it all. Be sure to stop by tomorrow!
Next, I made a bridge fold card as show below where I’m sharing a brief instruction with pictures.
Instruction for bridge fold card
1. Cut a brown card stock into 5.5 x 9 inch. Score along the long end at 3″ and 6″. Fold in Z shape.
2. Place Stitched Borders 2 Die on top of the Z paper, run it through a cutting machine back and forth several times. If the papers are not cut perfectly due to thickness, use scissors to trim off.
3. Score down mid-line pf both outer panels, refold the paper into a standing gate shape.
4. Prepare three pieces of 2.75 x 5.25 inch of Gingham paper, diecut the top portion using the same Stitched Borders 2 Die, score down at center of two pieces, then adhere them onto the brown panel. By doing so, you can create a nested look without using nesting dies set.
5. Make a front panel that would be a bridge, using brown card stock, Stitched Borders 2 Dies, and Plaid paper and then adhere the bridge to the standing gate. It is easier to adhere one side of bridge and gate when the gate is folded down. Before assembling, I distressed all the edges using Distress Ink Tea Dye to give an autumn mood.
Once I finished assembling Bridge Fold Card, I adhered my colored images here and there using Glue Dots. Sentiment from Giving Thanks was heat embossed in gold and cut by free hand. I also added a piece of Picket Fence on the wall behind.
Here are some more views from different angles.
When I adhered images, I intended that my scene would look good even when it is folded down.
As a final touch, I added Metallic Gold Jewels. Since the card size was about 5.25 x 6 inch when folded down, I also made an envelope with size 5.5×6 inch using a piece of paper of 9.25 x 9.25 inch.
It is very easy to create a fun Bridge Fold Card by just using a scoring board and any kinds of symmetric shape border dies. This type of card can be placed straight up as a part of Thanksgiving decoration, or it can be sent to your friends flat down in an envelope.
I hope you will like it as much as I do. Thanks for your visiting and reading this. Have a wonderful day!
Hi friends, Jeanne here! Fall is in the air and Thanksgiving is only a month away! It’s time to reflect on the blessings in our lives. I’m so thankful for you, for all the love and kindness you’ve shared with me. I’m blessed that our love for making has brought us together and want you to know I appreciate you.
I hope you’re enjoying the Thanksgiving Theme Week projects and getting ideas for your own creations! Pretty Pink Posh has so many great Thanksgiving images (stamps and dies) that the hardest part for me today was choosing what products to work with. I’ve decided to mix a bit of the old with the new on my two cards.
I’m smitten with the Happy Turkey! I thought he’d look magnificent with a colorful Autumn Wreath behind him! He looks so proud like a peacock!
My card base is a blend of Shaded Lilac, Tumbled Glass and Twisted Citron Distress Inks applied with a stencil brush for a smooth finish. The panel was splattered and then inked with the Happy Thanksgiving Sentiment from Giving Thanks.
I layered the framed scene inside the Stitched Notes die cut so there are three rows of stitches along the outer edge of the card.
The corner of the frame is adorned with die cut Autumn Wreath leaves and a cute little acorn. A few Amethyst Jewels define the raised framed image, and add sparkle and shine. They’re my favorite embellishment!
You’ll love embellishing all your holiday projects with these sweet images! And what a great time to buy when you can save 15% on all the Thanksgiving items in the store.
Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you were inspired and we’ll see you tomorrow.
I started by stamping adorable image from the Fall Scene set on watercolor paper panel using black dye ink. I then colored it with polychromos colored pencils. I also stamped Autumn greetings from the Autumn Wreath set in black.
For the top right corner of the panel, I die cut several autumn leaves from a separate watercolor paper using the Small Stitched Foliage dies, adhered them on the panel using glue pen. I ink blended with Autumn colored Distress inks, and then lightly brushed over that with clean water.
For the circle shaker window, I die cut Scallop Circles from orange card stock 1 time, white paper 4 times, stacked white circle die cuts up using fine tip glue pen. I then adhered acetate sheet to the back of the orange circle die cut.
I inked on the white card base using Spiced Marmalade Distress ink, and then adhered thick white scallop circle die cut on the card front, added several autumn-colored beads (Woodlands seed beads, Raspberry seed beads, Gold Shimmer seed beads) in the circle window. I then covered it with orange circle panel. Thank you for stopping by! Join us tomorrow for another day of Thanksgiving Theme Week!

The theme today is quick cards and videos so Justine created a quick card and showed off how she embosses die cuts to make fun backgrounds! The background uses the Fall Tags dies randomly all over. The card is then topped off with the Thanks Leaf Shaker die in a stunning gold to make it pop!
Sometimes white gets a little bit washed out so by switching up the colours and filling in the negative space of the dies with some red cardstock, truly makes an entirely new and fresh looking card. Thanks for watching and supporting the Save the YouTuber event!
My first card is starting off combining Happy Turkey, Autumn Wreath and Giving Thanks stamp sets. My images are stamped on Neenah White cardstock with copic friendly and colored in with copic markers. I thought it would be fun to color some of the foliage with non-traditional colors. Then, I die cut them all out with the coordinating dies.
I die cut a window using theWindow Frames die and layered all of my die cut images. This is then attached to an A2 card front that I created using some pattern paper from the Knit Picky Fall paper pack. I finished off the card with some gorgeous Espresso Jewels to tie in the browns from the card.
For my second card, I created my own background with the Stitched Foliage die set and opted for some non-traditional Fall colors as well. I used Apple Mint, Sea Glass, Peach Bellini and Sticky Note cardstock colors.
Keeping the card clean and simple, I stamped a sentiment onto white cardstock using the Giving Thanks stamp set and added some Sparkling Clear Jewels between the leaves.
I couldn’t resist adding a little sparkle to the leaves with my Nuvo Shimmer Pen. I hoped you enjoyed today’s cards and inspires you to combine some of your previous stamp sets with new ones!
Thank you for stopping by! Join us tomorrow for another day of Thanksgiving Theme Week!
Hi crafty friends, Eloise here and today I have a simple window card to share with you all using the SmallStitched Foliage Die Set as well as some jewels.
To begin I die cut theSmall Stitched Foliage from a square piece of white cardstock. I then used that piece as a mask to trace out the leaves on a card base, so I knew where to adhere the jewels. I picked four colours of jewels that I thought were the most fall like and used those to “colour” my leaves.
I laid down strips of thin adhesive and adhered down my jewels over each of the leaf shapes. I used all random sizes to get them to fit the best. I then added foam tape around the jewels and onto the back of my window die cut and adhered them down onto the card base.
Hello Pretty Pink Posh friends! Angelica here today with an adorable Halloween card featuring a combination of Pretty Pink Posh products and Glue Dots for Day 2 of our collaboration blog hop.
To begin, I made a background by ink-blending Distress and Distress Oxide inks. For the night sky, I used Black Soot and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks, and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. For the moon, I used Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide inks. I die cut the moon using the large Window Frames Dies. Next, I stamped out several characters from the Halloween sets, as well as grass from Darling Dragonflies stamp set, and used Copic Markers to color them. After Die-cutting them out, I used Glue Dots to put the night scene together. I used the ½-inch size for the moon, 1-inch glue lines for the grass, and 3/8-inch size for the characters.
I stamped the sentiment, then attached the card front to an A2 size card base. My final touch was adding small stars with a white gel pen.

A very big crafty hello and welcome to our very special blog hop collaboration with Pretty Pink Posh & Glue Dots! Marge here and I’m so happy to share my card with you for our fun and creative collaboration blog hop by Pretty Pink Posh and Glue Dots.
I started my card by stampingAutumn Wreath on a piece of kraft card stock using a pale gray colored dye ink to do no-line coloring. I then colored the images using copic markers and polychromo pencils. I stamped a turkey from Happy Turkey stamp set on another piece of kraft card stock and did the same no-line coloring. After I had done my coloring, I added white gel pen details, and then I cut the turkey using Happy Turkey coordinating dies.
For sentiment tag, I stamped ‘autumn greetings’ from Pumpkin Patch Critters on dark brown card stock using Versamark Embossing Ink and heat embossed it with Wow Gold Rich Pale Embossing Powder, then I diecut it using one of Mini Tag Dies. I rounded brown colored baker’s twine around the lower part of the panel, let the thread come out through a tiny hole of the tag, then made a bow. The turkey and sentiment tag were adhered on the panel using foam adhesive for dimensional look as shown in the pictures.
Next, I used Glue Dots Tape Runner to adhere the panel onto a card base. I then adhered Metallic Gold Jewels and Ivory Jewels as a final embellishments using 3mm Glue Dots Micro Adhesive which is very useful in adhering small sized jewels and sequins. I also found that Glue Dots Dispenser is very useful to keep Glue Dots Adhesive Rolls from sticking to other materials so the rolls can be stored neat and clean. It also helps you cut the roll piece easily.
