Happy Thanksgiving 2020

 Hi Friends!  Today I'm playing along over at The Paper Players for their warm and cozy color challenge and also over at Shopping Our Stash for the Happy Fall Y'All!

I thought I would use these challenges to get a head start on Thanksgiving cards.  Sadly, this year we won't be getting together for a big family Turkey Day. I still want everyone to know I'm thinking of them so I'll be sending a bunch of cards.

After taking my time to stencil all the little leaves in the challenge colors using Taylored Expressions Fall Foliage stencils, stamping and die cutting some leaves and the sentiment from Hero Arts Grateful Leaves, I put the card together.  When I went to open it up to do the inside, I had put everything together upside down on the card front!  Have you ever done that? Well, that was the second time in two days I did that to a project <big sigh>.  Anyhoo, I cut off the card front, trimmed the Cinnamon Cider cardstock and attached it to a Very Vanilla card base.  I actually think I like it better even though it took a while longer to get there!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

Tic Tac Toe Challenge #085

 Hi Friends! Here's the new board for this week's challenge over at Tic Tac Toe:

And here's my DT card following the first row down: Pumpkins, Orange, and Fall.

I've had this great fall DSP from DCWV for a very long time and decided to let it do the work for my Thanksgiving card.  It has flecks of gold in it which were hard to photograph but I die cut gold vines for the pumpkins to coordinate.  The Pretty Pumpkins from Sunny Studio are layering stamps that give the pumpkins some fun dimension with three different shades of orange ink. The doily was die cut out of kraft cardstock and the card base is Cajun Craze from Stampin' Up.  

We hope you'll play along this week! See you in the gallery!

Hugs,

Annie
