Pie, Please!

This week our challenge at Crafty Sentiments is Anything Goes.  One of my favorite parts of a holiday dinner is the pie!

This is Baking Pie.  The stamp was colored with Copic markers.  Can you almost smell the pie?!

Blessed

Welcome to a special Thanksgiving post for Rubbernecker Stamps.  I wanted to try something a little different and use a stamp that wasn't a traditional Thanksgiving stamp.  This is what I came up with.

I used Daisies and colored them like Black-Eyed Susans.  To me they just feel like fall.  I cut the image out using a stitched rectangle die like the one you can find in the shop.  I also used Watercolor Stripes with Versamark ink to add a little interest to the top panel of the card.  The sentiment came from the Best Friends Etc stamp set. I cut the word "blessed" from one of the phrases in the set.

If you celebrate Thanksgiving, I wish you the very best.  If you don't celebrate Thanksgiving I still wish you the very best!

Welcome to another challenge at the Creative Knockouts.  In honor of Thanksgiving, our challenge for you is Thankful Thoughts.

Let's Eat!

Oh. My. Gosh!  Thanksgiving is in a week!  Well...in a week and a day, but close enough!!  I am so not ready.  What I am ready for, though, is this week's any holiday challenge at the Crafty Gals Corner.

This is Thanksgiving Feast from QKR Stampede.  As I was coloring this, I realized two things.  The first is that turkeys are really funny looking birds!  And the second is that I don't really send Thanksgiving cards.  I was trying to think of another way to use the image and this was my idea.  What about a place card that also includes a personal message to each guest?!  Now...I don't have enough people come to my house for Thanksgiving to need place cards, but I thought it was a fabulous idea!  I added the banner for the guest's name.  You could also use this to label food dishes if you do a potluck style dinner.

We have two fabulous sponsors this week.  Clicking the badges below to pop over and stuff your shopping carts full of digis before you stuff yourself full of...tur...food!  (Shh...don't tell him!)

It's that time of year when we start thinking about gathering with family and giving thanks for the blessings in our lives.  At least in the US anyway!  In some parts of the world, Thanksgiving has already happened!  This Bobblehead Thanksgiving Crow from Bugaboo is getting into the spirit with his harvest cornucopia.  He was colored with Copic markers.

It's Thursday so that must mean it is time for a new challenge at Creative Knockouts.  The theme this week is Festive Fun.  Simple and so much fun.

I have used Butterfly Harvest from A Day for Daisies.  I don't usually think of butterflies when I think of Thanksgiving, but I loved this stamp!  I colored the stamp with Copics.  The card base was cut using a Silhouette cut file.  I just welded two shapes together to make the fold.  I also removed the stitches from the back piece. =P

I decided I wanted to add the small tag and I really wanted the tag to say "thankful".  With all of the stamps I own, do you think I had a small thankful stamp?!  Of course not!  But obviously I did stamp thankful on that tag, so how did I do it?!  The word "thankful" came from a larger stamp from a Stampin' Up! stamp set called Lots of Thanks.  It was the perfect size and the perfect font.  I actually cut the word from the rest of the phrase and stamped it by itself.  I can easily pop the word back into the rest of the stamp.  I did a test run and you can't tell the difference.  I got the idea from a tutorial I saw ages ago, but never tried it until now.  I will say I was holding my breath until I tested the stamp.  I love being able to make my stamps even more versatile!

Our sponsor this week is A Day for Daisies.  You could win a $12 gift certificate for the shop just for playing along.  Click the badge below to head over to the shop and have a look around.

Today is the day that we gather with family and remember all of the things we are thankful for.  Our challenge this week follows that theme.

I used the image Hot Apple Pie and used Copics to color it.  The good news is this image also comes in a colored version.  Perfect for when you need to whip up a card and just don't have a lot of time.

I hope you all enjoy your time with friends and family.  I know I will.
