Judy's Creations: Thanksgiving

DOStamper Stars Thursday Challenge #301-Falling for Leaves

Hi Stampers,

This week for our DOStamper Challenge we have a showCASE challenge. You can either use the layout, same stamp set, colors, etcetera as the basis for your creation. I chose the layout.

I broke open my pack of Festive Farmhouse DSP along with my 3/8" Braided Linen Trim. I just LOVE new toys, don't you? I also used my new Corrugated Embossing Folder and in keeping with my challenge, Falling For Leaves Bundle. Truth be told, I could make fall/autumn/Thanksgiving cards until February and not get sick of it but that's just me. I don't know if it's the colors or what but I just love how it turned out. I also used a die cut leaf for the inside too.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Corrugated Falling for Leaves

Hi Stampers,

I pulled out a new toy for today's card. I used my new Corrugated Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I will definitely be playing with that a lot!!! I also remembered to use an accessory--Gold Faceted Gems. I put all my accessories on my desk in front of me so I will remember to use them!!! I usually reach for them and then realize they have retired. Are you like that too? Forget about it if it is out of sight (out of mind) I am now geared up and ready to go so I don't keep doing that.

Don't forget about the FREE STAMP SETS that I am offering for the month of October when you spend $40 and $50 or more (before shipping and handling) in my online store!!!

Today is also the last day to sign up for October's Paper Pumpkin kit for only $5!!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Bermuda Bay Falling For Leaves

Hi Stampers,

Today's card isn't created in your "normal" Fall colors. I decided to try it in Bermuda Bay. I actually like it and it helps that Bermuda Bay is one of my fav colors. LOL I just can't get enough of the detailed framelit from this bundle. I embossed the greeting in silver embossing powder on vellum. I punched out a 2-1/4" circle in Whisper White for the backing. I also used the Glitter Enamel Dots in Coastal Cabana and it matches with the light I am in.

I hope you give it a try using non-traditional colors for your cards. I hope I inspired you in some way today!!!

DOStamper Stars Thursday Challenge #300-Falling for Leaves

Hi Stampers,

This week's DOStamper Stars Thursday Challenge is a challenge for me with the colors. I am trying to showcase the Falling For Leaves bundle this week and this really has me stumped----but---I did it. And it is actually kind of wearing on me. Don't get me wrong, these colors are great for Halloween but a stretch for me for leaves. LOL I just love the Glitter Enamel Dots. Even though they are Granny Apple Green they coordinate well with this card IMO!!! I cannot get enough of the Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon and I added in a strip of the Toil & Trouble DSP. So......whatcha think?

Don't forget about the FREE STAMP SET INCENTIVE I am offering for the month of October!!!!

Detailed Leaves with Buffalo Check

Hi Stampers,

Today's card I used the delicate and intricate Detailed Leaves thinlit. It is just so pretty with a lace like feel to it. I paired it with the Buffalo Check stamp. I love that you can make it in any Stampin' Up! color making it so versatile. I also used the Buffalo Check stamp with the Stamparatus. This makes using the large stamps a piece of cake!!! The sentiment I used is from the Painted Harvest stamp set.

Don't forget about the ordering incentive I have going for the month of October!!! If you purchase $40 or more (before shipping and handling) in my online store you get your choice of one of the retired Sale-A-Bration stamp sets pictured below. First come, first served.

Falling For Leaves

Hi Stampers,

This week I am going to showcase the Falling For Leaves bundle. I can't believe it is October already!!! Please Mother Nature slow down as I love EVERYTHING about fall.

I embossed this card with white embossing powder and then colored in with a Black Stampin' Write Marker. The 3/8" Black Organdy Ribbon is just gorgeous and glittery. It almost feels like it has wire in it to help bend it.

I hope you enjoyed the first day of Falling For Leaves. Make sure you add it to your shopping cart today!!! Speaking of which, I have a bunch of retired Brand New Sale-A-Bration and Hostess Stamp sets from previous years. I would like to find them homes that would give them some love and ink.

Lemon Turkey Anyone?

Hi Stampers,

I have a couple more ideas for the Lemon Builder Punch. I think I am one of the few people that send out Thanksgiving cards. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Christmas but I don't care to rush the seasons. Thanksgiving to me is Christmas without the presents--dinner, family time, football......

So, how about a turkey from the Lemon Builder Punch?

I hope this sparks your creativity in some way. Remember, you can order all supplies for this card from my online store.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Country Home Barn

Hi Stampers,

Today's card gets help from other stamp sets to make a country setting. I mean, you can't have a milk can without a barn, right? I used Barn Door (for the doors, Wood Words (for the sign), Hardwood (for the background) and get this.....the daisy punch for the wagon wheel. Using the Wood Textures DSP for the wheel made it more realistic. When I made the wagon wheel full size it was too big. I cut it down with the Circle Layering Framelits.

I hope I inspired you in some way today. I hope you try combining stamp sets. It just shows how versatile these sets are.

DOStamper Stars Thursday Challenge #297-Country Home

Hi Stampers,

This week's challenge is Home Sweet Home. Several ideas came to mind---witch, witches shoe, Halloween....all of "witch" I don't have!!! LOL Get it? Okay, well let me explain. In the Christmas catalog there is an adorable witch bundle. Unfortunately, I do not send out Halloween cards but to my two youngest grandchildren. And, staying with my challenge of featuring a stamp set each week, I was really in a dilemma. So, for my card I pulled from the colors for inspiration. Actually instead of "If the shoe fits" mine should say "If the broom fits." I hope you enjoy today's card.

I borrowed the "broom" image from Oh So Eclectic. From the first time I saw the stamp set I thought of a broom and I went with it. I also got to use my blends and the more I play with them, the better I am getting with them (I know I have a long way to go) but it is getting easier. Add in some good 'ol punch art, embossing and there you have it!!

I hope this shows you, you don't always have to have a certain stamp set. Use your imagination!!! or pull from another stamp set.

Country Home-So Grateful

Hi Stampers,

For today's card, I let the Designer Series Paper take the guess work out of my card. If you have a great layout, then sit back and let it do it's thing and speak for itself. I know, I know. This coming from someone who hoards collects DSP lovingly. I also love stamping in a lighter color behind the sentiment. It really sets it off in my opinion.
