Happy Thanksgiving !

I finally got my Thanksgiving cards finished yesterday..... oh well, better late and all that :)
Pictures first, then the details..

The papers are Stampin Up and Hobby Lobby
The turkey border is from Cricut Doodlecharms cut at 1". I ran the base through the Herringbone Cuttlebug folder, inked the edges with Tim Holtz Tea Dye and used dimensionals to attached over ribbon from Hobby Lobby.
The sentiment and leaf stamps are Stampin Up. I stamped the leaf with Versamark, sprinkled with Heat n Stick powder, heated , added Martha Stuart glitter and heated again for a few seconds.I inked the leaves with Really Rust from SU.

The Heat n Stick powder is great for glitter but I seemed to be all thumbs with it.... guess I'll have to practice some more :)

I have SO much to be thankful for this year so I know I am going to have a great day.

I hope you all have a wonderful day, no matter what your traditions may be.

Happy Thanksgiving !!

Last One For Now

Ok, this will be the last tissue box cover i post for a while ! But I LOVE this one !! It's for my daughter to put on her desk at work. She loves dragonflys and all things pink :) so what to decorate this with was easy. The directions for the cover are Here .

 

The dragonflys are cut from - Doodlecharms, Gypsy Wanderings, Create a Critter and Paisley and are cut at 2.5 inches. To get the pattern paper I used my Gypsy and the Imagine. I don't have any of my cartridges anymore (story for another post !) so I had to be creative to use the papers I wanted from the Imagine Nursery Tails Cartridge. I used the rounded corner square shape that comes preloaded on the Imagine, sized it to 5.5 inches and filled it with the pattern paper I wanted. I did this 4 times to fill the 12 x 12 white textured cardstock. I then changed the settings to print only.

After I had the paper printed, I moved to my Gypsy and pulled up the dragonfly images from the various cartridges and placed them on the screen to match where the papers were on the mat. Then I cut ! Simple, right? Yes but I had to concentrate kinda hard so I got the right image to cut from the right paper . But it was worth it . I really like the way they came out.

The border was another Gypsy project. The image is from Easter 2010. I sized it to the height I wanted and copied 3 or 4 times and welded them all together. I know I will use this border lots more.

The solid paper is Stampin Up. All the extra embellishments I add are from my stash. I inked all the edges and used Dazzaling Diamond Glitter  - Stampin Up.

I think this is going to look great on my daughters desk!

As always, thanks for stopping by :)
