Another major blogging break. I have such a stack of projects waiting to be photographed but somehow just have not had the energy or inclination :( ... summer vacation and a crazy busy fall at work might be excuses, but I think I've spent enough time browsing other people's blogs and Pinterest that had I focussed there would be at least a few blog posts before this one!
But I am back {again} with the intent of being reasonably regular... we shall see how I do! ;)
Today I am sharing a series of Thanksgiving cards I made for my family (Canadian Thanksgiving is mid-October) using a cute mini set from PTI, patterned paper from Doodlebug Design and dies from a few companies. I took the Online Card Class Insider so was playing with windows on a few of them...
The first one uses the PTI stamp set coloured with Copics, including the pearls used for eye and nose and a great tree die from Memory Box's Owl Heart set.
The second one is the only one where I did not use the squirrel from PTI stamp...although the sentiment is from the set. It features an older yet darling Memory Box die called Nutty Acorn and an exclusive banner die from Simon Says Stamps.
The third card is back to the squirrel and I think this one is my favorite! The window and frame are cut with Spellbinders oval dies and I love the small acorn detail (hand cut and pieced from PTI stamp set) on the burlap string.
The last card was using a new die from Die-versions Corner Concepts - Pine - you cannot quite see it in the main card but the close up shows it a bit better - however the impact is much better IRL. The square cutout and frame around it are again Spellbinders dies. TFL!
