Hi Stampers!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of my U.S.
friends!! I hope all of you are having
a blessed Thanksgiving holiday!
If you have not had a chance to check out
The Paper Players site yet, I would recommend that you take a moment to do
so. Again, the Design Team has outdone
themselves and the rest of the entries are gorgeous!!
To create the Thanksgiving card:
With the Big Shot™ and the Holiday Frame
Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder emboss a piece of Early Espresso Core’dinations
cardstock (lightly sand the embossed
image to show the lighter core of the paper).
De-static a piece of Naturals White
cardstock with the Embossing Buddy® and stamp the images from Full of Blessings
and French Foliage using Versamark™ ink.
Apply Stampin’ Emboss® Gold Embossing Powder and heat emboss with the
Heat Tool.
Once cool, cut out the oval using the Big
Shot™ with an Oval Framelits™ Die and fussy cut the leaves and create a banner with the sentiment (use the corner of the 1” Square Punch to create the banner points). Mount the oval to the embossed panel using
Stampin’ Dimensionals™ and arrange the leaves and banner sentiment attaching to the card with
Mini Glue Dots.
Adhere the entire panel to the Naturals White card base to finish off the card.

To create the Christmas
Blessings Card:
With the Big Shot™ and the Lacy Brocade
Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock. Use the narrow ornament from the Holiday
Ornaments Framelit™ Die to cut a piece of More Mustard cardstock. Adhere the white embossed background to a
piece of More Mustard cardstock.
De-static a piece of Whisper White
cardstock and the More Mustard ornament with the Embossing Buddy®. Ink the stamp image from Bells & Boughs ,
the sentiment from More Merry Messages and the Snowflake Party Builder Wheel using
Versamark™ ink (I took the wheel apart and use it as a regular stamp). Stamp the poinsettia image and the sentiment onto
the Whisper White cardstock. Stamp the Snowflake
Party wheel across the ornament a few times. Apply Stampin’ Emboss® Gold Embossing Powder to
all images and heat emboss with the Heat Tool.
Cut the poinsettia image out using the Big
Shot™ and the round pointed ornament from the Holiday Ornament Framelits™ Die
set. Mount the More Mustard ornament
first, then the white ornament to the Lacy Brocade embossed background.
Create the banner using the corners of the
1” Square Punch and adhere to the bottom of the card.
Add the Satin Ribbon Bow and pearls to
finish off the card.

Bells & Boughs, More Merry Messages, Snowflake Party Builder Wheel

Again, Clean and
Simple (CAS) style does not come easy to me and I so admire those who can
create the CAS masterpieces that I see everywhere but this is my version of
CAS.
Thanks again for
stopping by and I hope all of you have a blessed Thanksgiving and weekend!
