Friday note #2 - mini card "Happy Thanksgiving"

Sharing one of the samples I made for the Open House, using one of the newest stamp set named "Perfect Fit - Thanksgiving" found in the 2013 Autumn/Winter Idea Book.
I used the CRICUT Artiste to cut out the shape of the turkey and stamped on it. Finished the piece with distressing and sponging plus glitter glue.

The sentiment is also from the same stamp set.

Papers? You got it. It is the new Huntington - my new favorite for Autumn Fall Thanksgiving projects.

This is a simple to-do, 3" x 3" card  that can be used as gift card or a decor block for a page layout!

"Smaller details are the best and finest".

easy to make - your own accent

Hi, today I'd like to share some pictures that show a easy and fun way to make your

own accent, or flower.

First you stamp your flower image in a white or lighter color cardstock, using a darker ink color.

Stamp again the same flower onto a darker color cardstock, this will be the center part of your flower later on.

Cut out the center of the darker cardstock image as shown above. And then the lighter cardstock image. Glue the first piece(center-smaller) onto the second piece (whole flower) and voila'!

You've got flower _of your own!

This layered flower can be embellished with a brad, button, ribbon, eyelet,......!

Have fun making more with different color combinations, you'll have tons of them ready to use on your projects!

Have a great day!
