Time for Some Thanksgiving Cards

This is one of the cards my group recently made for our fall card class.  I had a variety of stamps they could use for the sentiment.  Some of them even change it to a birthday card for fall birthdays.  My next class will be on Monday November 20 when we will make Christmas cards.

Swirlly Pumpkins

This card along with the one I posted a few days ago, were part of my September card class.  I know it isn't October yet and it says Halloween.  We always make cards at least a month before the holiday.  That gives them time to get them made and written in a timely fashion.

Fall Flowers

Even though it still feels like summer here and tropical storms are lined up in the Atlantic, autumn has begun.  All that means to me is that I started using more fall like colors on my flowers and trees.  Our leaves, for the most part, do not fall until the spring.  Very soon though we will feel the change in the season when it cools down just a bit.

Fall Napkin Card

Where has this summer gone?  It is still hot here and we have at least two more months of heat and humidity but I need to start planning my fall card classes already.  I promised my group one more napkin card and then we are taking a break from them.  I think we may do this one because they are all sunflower lovers and it makes nice fall card.

Happy Thanksgiving

This card has some unusual Thanksgiving colors.  You may not be able to tell from the picture but the dotted designer paper is Wisteria Wonder which is a shade of purple.  I know, that sounds so yucky and  Halloweenish.  The purple is muted and really has a gray look to it so it is toned down quite a bit.  Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Comfort Cafe Designer Paper

This is one of the Thanksgiving cards I had my group make this month.  I have a lot of designer paper and they are helping me use it.  I am not buying anymore until I put a large dent in the rack that holds all of it that I have.  There still is quite a bit to use.



Give Thanks

The name of this Stampin' Up! set is For All Things.  It has several stamps and is very versatile.  I plan to use the splotch stamp and the smaller leaves for other occasions not just fall cards. 

A Second Piece of Pie

Here is another punch art pumpkin that I made.  If you don't know why the title of the post is pie, look back to Nov 7  where I explain.  I do miss my mom and her cooking.  I never was too interested in learning how to cook like she did.  She did give her recipes to my DH and he is a good cook.

Veteran's Day

One of the things I am thankful for is our military.  Thank you to all of the veterans past and present for serving our country.  Our lives would be much different if we did not have them to preserve our freedom.

Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie

When my brothers and I were young, the thing they liked the best about Thanksgiving was my mom made pies, crust too.  She only made pumpkin ice cream pie once a year, Thanksgiving.  She used vanilla ice cream and added canned pumpkin and spices.  Me I preferred cherry or coconut cream pie.

Falling Leaves

It is hard to believe it is November already and time to post Thanksgiving cards.  I use a lot of leaves on my cards this time of year even though most of our trees keep their leaves until February.  To make this card I carefully placed the white paper on the die and used the negative of what was cut.  I then cut a leaf using Cajun Craze cardstock and put some dotted texture on it.

Happy Halloween

Some of the little girls in our neighborhood have the best costumes.  The moms make their costumes and they are usually princesses.  Their dresses are so cute and full of ruffles.
 The past two Halloweens I have had band practice so I didn't get to see them.  Looking forward to helping with the candy this year so I can see the great costumes.

Three Little Ghosts

Our sister was here recently.  She is not a card maker but does a lot of other crafts.  I thought she would enjoy making a few cards.  I made this one but she made one for each of her children and their families.
