Fun Fold Fall Flower Card

  Hello, So glad you had a minute to stop by. It's the morning of Thanksgiving Day. I wanted to get this posted early because I have a lot more cooking to do. 

Got my desserts and deviled eggs done last night. Glad I got them done a head of time..     

I have a fun fold card to share with you today. I have no idea if this type of card has a proper name. But that's what were calling this one.

 

 

I am always needing thank you cards so for this one I wanted to use one of my older stamp sets from Stampin Up called Still Life Stems.  .

I was watching one of the youtube crafter's that I follow and she made a card like this. I knew it would be the perfect card for my flower image. 

Used Crushed Curry cardstock from S.U. and embossed it with the  embossing folder from S.U. called Tasteful Textile.The background paper is from a 12x12 paper pack that I got several years ago. 

I colored the flower with alcohol markers. The flower is stamped on a die cut from S.U. and the little die cut Thanks I had in my stash. I also die cut the same shape for the inside but one size smaller.

I really like how it turned out and it was fun to create. If you would like to see how it was created. Search for  Stamping With Amore on youtube. The video is called Fun Fold Christmas Card tutorial.

 

Since It's Thanksgiving I thought I would share my recipe for pumpkin pie with you all. 

 

Pumpkin Pie

"Ingredients needed"

1can of pure pumpkin

1 cup milk

2 or 3 eggs

1 Tbs.cornstarch 

1/4th tsp cinnamon

3/4th cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla  

Pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 375 and sit out frozen premade crust to thaw or make one from scratch.

In small bowl mix milk and cornstarch together

In large bowl combine all ingredients together.

Place pie crust on cookie sheet or pizza pan

Add foil around crust to prevent burning. 

Fill pie and bake for 10 minutes at 375.

Then bake for around 40 minutes at 350. 

Since my oven cooks hotter in the back, I turn the pie around at 20 minutes for even cooking and will lightly cover with foil near the end if it looks like it may burn.

Cool completely and enjoy. Oh and don't forget to add cool whip.

 

 

Hope you enjoyed seeing my card. Would love to know if you try the recipe. 

Would also love for you to leave me a comment. Thanks for stopping by.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Tiny ornament Inchie Card

  Happy Monday, Hard to believe that it will be Thanksgiving in a few days. I do have a quick card share for today. I decided to make one more inchie card. They are so quick to make. So I thought why not one more.

The challenge over at AAA Challenge Blog is to create a card using a one inch square or circle. The cardstock has to be smooth with no layers or embossing. 

No sentiments or anything can be on the outside of the square or circle and nothing from within the square or circle can be sticking out.  

I cut out a one inch square in red glitter cardstock. The little ornament is from an older stampin Up set called Little Holiday Wishes and colored it with S.U. markers. I also used a white gel pen. Cut it out with a little stitched square die.

It's actually been fun getting to use some of my tiny little stamps. 

It is a bit of a challenge though. The hardest part is having the urge to add a sentiment to the front. But that's part of the challenge rules.

Thanks for stopping by. My next post will be on Thanksgiving. If you get a chance stop back by. Have a great day!

Santa One Inchie Card

  Hello Everyone, hope your having a nice weekend. Not sure if you seen my last post. I had made a Inchie card. Well I decided to make another one. (Sorry for the picture quality. For some reason my camera would not focus).

Over at the AAA Challenge blog they are having a challenge where you have to create a card with a 1 inch square or circle on the front. The card front has to be smooth, No embossing or anything outside of the 1 inch area. Nothing can be hanging out side of the square either. 

I decided on another Christmas card and thought it would be fun to make a 1 inch Santa outfit.

As you can see this card was pretty easy to make. Cut a 1 inch square in red and added a strip of black for the belt and a tiny piece of yellow for the belt. I used a piece of white pipe cleaner for the fur on the bottom of Santa's outfit. Thought that was a fun added touch.

Have you ever made a Inchie card? There actually fun to make. It's definitely a bit of a challenge to create something within 1 inch. 

If you would like to challenge yourself and make one there is still time. The challenge ends on the 27th. 

That's going to be it for today.  Enjoy your weekend!

Hot Cocoa Inchie Card

 Happy Thursday, So glad you could stop by. Hope you are finding some time for some card making. I have been having fun creating some projects for several challenges. 

Today I have a hot cocoa card to share. 

This card is 4x4 size and the image is exactly one inch. One of the challenges from AAA Cards is to make a inch square or circle on a smooth cardstock with nothing else on the card. Nothing can be sticking out from the one inch boundary either. 

The stamp set is from Recollections called Winter Wonderland. Used a alcohol marker and a S.U. marker to color the image. Also took a black marker and added a black boarder around the square too help it show up against the white cardstock.

This card will probably be my last card that I link up for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop. I might get a chance to create another one. 

This card is #835 in the link up

My other projects I linked up are #127, #339, #467, #612 and #699

I love that this card was so quick to make. It was hard for me not to add a sentiment. But had to follow the rules.

That's It from me today, Would LOVE for you to leave a comment. 

Hope you all have a nice Thanksgiving.

Warm Winter Wishes Christmas card

 

  Hello and happy hump day (Wednesday). I have been busy, busy, busy in my craftroom creating cards for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop and also for some other challenges.

For today's card I made a Christmas card. This is my first one this year. 

I used a Close to My Heart stamp set called You warm my heart. I hardly ever use the color pink. Have never been a big fan of the color, but I do like it for Christmas. So, I decided this card was going to have some pink. 

 

 

I stamped the first cup in Cool Caribbean Ink from S.U. Stamped the red flower stamp, also from the set in the center and added a gem to the center. I used an alcohol marker to color the gem. Also stamped the red flower image all over the pink cardstock.

For the second cup I added some black and white patterned paper. I used a curved stitched die to create the white wrap. Then stamped HO HO HO a crossed it.  

The candy canes are also from the You Warm My Heart Set. Snowman paper is from The Paper Studio. Used some scalloped black cardstock behind the paper.

Wrapped some Christmas twine around the bottom sentiment. Both sentiments are from Cardz TV. The set is called Tiny Tidings. Also stamped a little blue snowflake. 

This card is #699 in the Link up. My other cards that I entered is #127, #339, #467, and #612.

Thanks for stopping by. I will have another card share tomorrow. Hope you can make it back.

Coffee Tiles Card

 Hello crafter's, Today I have another coffee card to share with you. I created this card by using a product from STAMPlorations   called Coffee Tiles-Ephemera.

 

 STAMPlorations had sent me this coffee image in an order, and I had to make a card with it. 

Card base is white, Next layer is Chocolate Chip cardstock. Decided to do something a little different for the paper. So, I just cut two side panels at a diagonal so that It would show a strip of the cardstock.

 I had received the paper in some happy mail, and I really like it. It has a shine to it and has a retro feel.  The stitched die cut is from Stampin Up and the sentiment is from Trinity Stamps called Hello Sweet Friend.

I have entered this card into the Link Up over at the Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop. This card is entry #612. My other entries are #127, #339 and #467.

Have you joined in the fun and made a project? If not, there is still time.

PERK UP, It's your Birthday!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have another card share for you.I created this card for my sister Debbie. As soon as I seen this Image I thought of her. With the curler for the bangs, drinking her coffee and her kitchen is done in teal. So this was the perfect birthday card for her.

 

 This fun image is from Dearie Dolls digi Stamps. Colored with alcohol markers. Can't remember where I got the Perk Up sentiment. Not for sure if it is one that I purchased or if it was offered as a freebie. If anyone recognizes it please let me know.

The other sentiment is from a little used set from e-bay. A surprise from my husband. The little teal dots are from scrapes from cutting out dies. I thought they may look cute.

 

This card will be my third entry into the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.   

I have been enjoying lots of coffee while hoping along and seeing all of the projects. There are some talented paper crafter's.

This card is #467 in the Link Up. My other entry's are #127 and #339   .

 

  Hope you get a chance to make a project.
