Gobble Til' You Wobble

Happy Monday!!! I created this adorable shaker card using Queen & Co's "Fall Harvest Kit". I also made a process video posted to my YouTube channel, and below. Hope you enjoy watching it as much as I've enjoyed creating it. Have a blessed n' wonderful day!!

Here's my process video...

Thankful Turkeys

Getting into the festivities of Thanksgiving.  For our Arts n' Crafts project of the day the other day, my son and I created some Thankful Turkeys.  I found free feather svgs on www.missfancypants.typepad.com, but them out on my eClips machine as shown here:

You could use a toilet paper roll, but what we did was cut a 4" x 6" piece of cardstock, made into a roll, and then adhered the face and feathers with our thankful blessings written on them.  Here's how they turned out:

This was such a fun n' simple project, and we had a lot of fun creating them together.  Here is my son holding them both together:

Thank you for popping in.... have a blessed weekend!!!

Aloha, Jen

My 1st Honeycomb Card

I created this card to share with my FB group how the "masking technique" works - just as the previous card one shown above. Image is from Inky Antics, colored with watercolors.

On the inside of this card, honeycomb paper... a 1st of mine to create. Not sure if I like how the inside turned out.  I think the stem is too much to one side. But I will try again later with this neat little technique.  I purchased a bunch of honeycomb paper from the mainland while I was visiting there.  I hope I will be able to make use of them all.  :) 

meh. I'll be trying again later to make another card like so! :)

Thanks for popping in!!

Aloha, Jen

Here is another Thanksgiving card.  I really like this card, because of the coloring that I did on here. It was fun to color with my Copics after not doing any coloring for so long.  The satmps on here are from Inky Antics (pumpkins in background), and TAC (pumpkin in the front). The "blessings" stamp is a Stampin' Up! stamp, a retired one, which I'm so glad I didn't get rid of.  I really love this stamp and that I still have it.  Blessed in so many ways!!

Happy Tuesday, y'all... here is my project for today.  I used the stamp set from Gina K Design's "The Simple Things" that I received in the kit I purchased.  My 1st kit ever from Gina K Designs.  LOVE it!!  With the kit, I received 3 cut outs that fit the frame stamp included in the set. I know that I will run out of these cut outs, so I had to make some of my own.  So that is what I did.  :)  I created my own SVG cuts for this set on my PhotoShop and eCal programs. Love that I can do this.  Even created a cut for the middle section of the cut.  Love that I am able to utilize my machine more than I possibly thought I would.  Thank You, Jesus!!!

Here's how my card turned out:

This card was fun to create, but took me almost all day to do it.  I guess because of the SVGs, sizing, coloring and then the layout.  I thought I spent a little too long on it. But I am totally happy with the results. :)

• Creative Cutting Challenge - Use SVG Cuts, Thanksgiving Theme
• Crafty Cardmakers - Cut It Out using SVG's

Happy Thanksgiving

Working on some Thanksgiving Cards.  Here is one of the 1st of them that I've created. I used the "Day of Gratitude" stamp set from Stampin' Up!. I created some SVG cuts for these stamps, so that I can have my eClips machine cut the pieces out, and then I don't have to cut them by hand.

Here's the 1st piece I worked on when making my SVG cuts... with the help of my Stamp-a-Ma-Jig I am able to stamp image in the center of my cut...


Here are all the pieces I ended up cutting...

Putting the pieces together and creating a card layout was the hardest part.  I am not used to creating with fall colors, so really had to put my thinking cap together. But first, the color combo that I selected is from this challenge:



Well, this is the results.  Hope you like it!!
