Mingle All the Way: Thanksgiving

008Have you made your Thanksgiving cards?  Here’s an easy one for you….

I love this saying from the Mingle All the Way stamp set.  Isn’t it fun?  Just stamp it and die cut it with the Deco Labels Framelits.   Add a piece of the Color Me Autumn Designer Series Paper, a piece of the Color Me Autumn Washi Tape, a couple of Candy Dots and you have your card!  Oh….don’t forget to die cut an acorn from the Autumn Accents Bigz Die to finish it off.  I die cut two acorns, trimmed the bottom off the Soft Suede one and combined them for the perfect acorn!  🙂

What are your Thanksgiving plans?  We’ll have the usual celebration here at my house.  We could have close to 25 here.  We’ll roast one turkey and either smoke or deep fry another.  We need left overs so we can get together again on Saturday evening!  Yes, a strange tradition but it works for us.  What traditions do you have?  Leave me a comment and let me know.

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

016Here’s a fun card for Thanksgiving!  Thanks Janet!  This is another card from the swap I organized.

The fun sentiment is from the Mingle All the Way stamp set.  It just makes me smile!  How about you?  Don’t you love all the acorns?  The acorn designer paper is from the Color Me Autumn pack.  The larger acorns are die-cut using the Autumn Accents Bigz die and the Big Shot.

Now you’re wondering how Janet did the design behind the acorns didn’t you?  Oh…you didn’t notice it?  Well, look again.  Isn’t it fun?  We learned this little technique at Convention and it’s become one of Janet’s favorites.  I haven’t tried it yet but I really need to.  What did she use to make that fun grid pattern?  Well, you may have some of it in your house down in the workshop but if not, you can get it at any hardware store….it’s drywall tape!  Yep!  Drywall tape!  Too fun!  Just lay it on your paper and sponge some ink over it!  Easy and fun!

Are you going to run to the hardware store and get some so you can use it on your projects?  If you do be sure to send me a picture of your project to cindy@stampbystampcreations.com.  I’d love to see them!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
