Thanksgiving Layout

Last weekend I went to a scrapbook retreat in Wylie, TX.   Priceless Memories Retreat  The owner Rita was awesome and we all had a great time.  Most of the ladies were doing 2 page layouts so Sunday morning I decided to give it a try.  Here is the 1st of three layouts I did.  

For this page I stamped the letters Give Thanks on beige card stock.  I punched the letters out with a 1" circle punch.  I layered that on a 1 1/4" black circle.  I attached to a tag I cut on the Cricut (Wild West).  I added brads at the top and used pop dots for dimension. 

For this side I ran the beige scrap though my embossing folder (notepaper). I cut the tree with my Cricut and punched tons of leaves from scrap paper.

Halloween BOO Card

 

For this card I used Stampin up embossing folder, pendent punch, pendent stamp sent and tiny wishes.  The ghost is from Cricut-Everyday paper dolls.  I used my computer for the BOO and printed on orange paper.  I then punched with the tiny circle.  The card is 4"x4" so even with the ghost it fits into a regular envelope.  Thanks for stopping by...

CASE Bird Punch Card

I saw a card at my friends Anne's house that she had received in a swap.  I wanted to recreate the card so I googled "brayer bird punch"  and found the following website. stampingtweets.com.  I used her design as inspiration but added my own twist.  I used Tim holtz wood grain embossing folder to make the pilers look more like wood.  I added a sun and sponged my clouds.  I also added a Pier 121 sign to give it some local flare.  I gave these out at my Swap your heart Out Swap last Thursday.

Card Swap Bags

We had our first swap this week at Swap Your Heart Out!  Because this was our first meeting I made each swap member a personalized bag.  I typed the words "Swap Your Out" and each name on My Digital Studio.  I cut all layers with my paper cutter using scrap paper.  I stamped beige layer with dots (Unity) and scroll (stampin up).  I distress the edges.  The black layer of the heart is the stampin up die cut and the inside is the large heart punch.  I tied a ribbon and glued it to a tim holtz clip.  Each name tag has a magnet on the back.  The base of the tags are left over gift tags from Hobby Lobby.  I punched out the names using the large oval punch (stampin up).  I added a little bling and some green flowers.  They really liked them and we each had a bag to take home our cards.  

Thanks for stopping by!
