Let's Craft and Create Challenge #177 EnTWINEd AG with the option Use Twine

 It's that time! It's time for a new challenge over at Let's Craft and Create. Challenge #177 is Anything Goes with the option to use twine.

For my project using twine I immediately thought of using a tag for my card. I decided I wanted a fall/Thanksgiving themed card. Next I decided I wanted this leaf on the front of my card. I then picked out my pattern paper from the Echo Park Fall 6" X 6" paper pad.

I started with some heavyweight white cardstock cut, scored and folded to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base. I cut my flowered pattern paper with a Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle die. It completely covers my card front.  I adhered it to my card front with some liquid adhesive. I then cut my Happy Fall pattern paper with a MFT Banner die. I used the largest die. For the whole in my banner tag I used the smallest circle die from the Hero Arts Infinity Circle Dies, it was the perfect size.

For my Stitched Maple leaf I cut that using an older Poppy Stamps die from my stash using some Tonic Studios Craft Perfect Autumn Maple Pearlescent Cardstock. It is a 6" X 6" paper pad and the paper is beautiful.

I adhered my leaf to my tag with some liquid adhesive. I thread some thin hemp twine through the hole in my tag. Using another piece of the twine I tied a bow and adhered it just below the hole in my tag with a mini glue dot. To finish my card I added some Shimmering Fallen Leaves Sequins Mix from Kat Scrappiness.

This was a fun and easy card to put together. I appreciate you stopping by. I hope you will head on over to Let's Craft and Create to check out the rest of the design teams projects and link up your own project. There is always a prize to be won.

Give Thanks Quokka Style

 

Today I have for you a card I made using products from Kat Scrappiness. I used the adorable Dress Up Quokkas stamp set and the Thanksgiving Costume Add On stamp set. I thought these little pilgrim costumes were so cute.  

For my card I started with some heavyweight white cardstock cut, scored and folded to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base. I cut a dark brown mat at 4" X 5 1/4".  I  cut the orange gingham paper at 3 3/4" X 2 3/4". The blue pattern paper was cut at 3 3/4" X  3 1/4". I adhered the orange paper down to my brown mat with some liquid adhesive. I then adhered the blue pattern paper to the brown mat also with liquid adhesive overlapping the orange paper just a little. The white with the brown polka dotted paper was just a scrap I had sitting on my table.  I cut it to 3 3/4" and adhered it over the seam with liquid adhesive.

Next I stamped my images onto some alcohol friendly white cardstock using some alcohol safe black ink. I colored my images using my Arteza Everblend Markers. Once I had my images colored I used the coordinating dies for the Quokkas and the Thanksgiving Costumes to cut out all my images.

Now the fun part, adhering everything to the card front. Once I had my images adhered it was time for a sentiment and embellishments. I stamped my sentiment in some gingerbread ink die cut the word thanks with its matching die. To die cut the word give I used the smallest rectangle from the Mini Slimline Never Ending Dies. I just ran it through my die cutting machine twice so I could cut it to the size I wanted.  (These dies are on sale today you can save 25% off).  To embellish my card I used two gorgeous embellishment sets from Kat Scrappiness, the Shimmering Fallen Leaves Sequin Mix and the Shimmering Autumn Sequin Mix. (Both of these are also currently on sale). I wanted my little Quokkas to have a shiny nose so I added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to them. Finally I added a little bit of Stardust Stickles to my leaves and acorns.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you will pop over to the Kat Scrappiness store and check out all the products I used for my card today. While you are there be sure to check out the new release and all the great products on sale.
