For my card, I layered a fall plaid pattern paper to the card base.  To create the shaker panel, I cut dark brown cardstock using the Slimline Diamond and Wood Grain Die and adhered a sheet of Slimline Acetate to the back.  I then lined the back of the frame with foam tape and filled the center with different Kat Scrappiness sprinkles and sequins (see thumbnails below).  I then 'sealed' the panel with pattern paper cut with one of the Slimline Embossed Edge Dies and adhered the shaker panel to the card.

I then colored this beautiful image from the Ink on 3 Pumpkin Patch set using the new Atelier Inks - Artist Grade Fusion Ink Pads!  They are wonderful to  watercolor with and keep a deep, rich color!  They can be blended together to create different colors and are water-reactive too!!  I used Kat Scrappiness Thank You with Shadow die; making the 'shadow' out of vellum then added the small sentiment from the Ink on 3 Pumpkin Patch set.

 

Thanksgiving Gnome Slimline Gatefold

 

 

Thanksgiving is a little over a month away!  I'm actually looking forward to having our small, traditional family dinner...something normal for a change!  My card, however, is certainly not a 'normal' slimline card -- it does have a surprise element to it.  I kept it very simple, but there's so much you can do to embellish upon this card base!

For my card, I cut a piece of kraft cardstock to 8 wide" x 9 high" and scored 2" on each side which left 4" for the card center.   I then cut small panels for the front (2" x 4" for the cardstock and slightly smaller for the pattern paper).  Each small panel was then adhered to the front card flaps; the first small panel was adhered to the left, the next small panel to the right flap and so on leaving a 1/4" in between the small panels.  When the card is closed, the panels fit into each other.

For the inside, I cut one pattern paper with one of the Fancy Scalloped Nesting Slimline Dies and brown cardstock with one of the Distressed Edge Slimline Nesting Dies. 

All the adorable images are from the Thanksgiving Gnomes set!

 

Thank You!

The new Kat Scrappiness Thanksgiving Gnomes stamp set is so darn cute with images that will just make you smile and maybe even giggle!

For my card, I first layered a piece of pattern paper onto the card base.  I then cut kraft cardstock with one of Distressed Edge Nesting dies and brushed the edges with VersaFine Clair Falling Leaves ink.

To create the shaker at the top: I cut a square opening in the kraft piece; applied a piece of acetate to the back of the opening; 'lined' the opening with thin foam strips; added the shaker elements (see thumbnails below); then after pulling the protective tape off the strips, placed a piece of orange cardstock over the elements/opening.  I then lined the remainder of the slimline kraft piece with double-sided foam before adhering it to the card.

Using the Thank You with Shadow Dies, I cut green cardstock for the words and vellum for the 'shadow' and adhered to the card.  The images from the Thanksgiving Gnomes set were copic colored, cut out and placed to create little scenes.

Here's  another card created with this adorable set...

Thankful for My Gnomies

There is much to be thankful for, even during these difficult times.  I'm very grateful for my 'gnomies'...my family, friends, neighbors and even our dog!  

While it's hard to believe Thanksgiving is only 3-1/2 months away, it's never too early to start on Fall Holiday cards and Kat Scrappiness is releasing this ADORABLE Thanksgiving Gnomes set just in time (well, actually on 8/22!)

For my card, I first cut orange cardstock with one of the new Zig Zag Nesting Slimline dies, then cut brown cardstock using one of the Embossed Edge Nesting Slimline dies. As mini backdrops for the images, I cut kraft cardstock using one of the Stitched Square dies.

After copic coloring and cutting out the Thanksgiving Gnomes images, I placed them along the card and added the sentiment from the set.  To finish, I added a few Golden Green Pinwheel Sequins.

Thankful For You

Happy Thanksgiving!  Many of my fellow Americans are likely busy today in preparation for tomorrow's feast with friends and family.  In the midst of all this busyness, let me say how THANKFUL I am for all of YOU - for your friendship, your passion for crafting (like me!) and your love of Pink & Main!

 For my card today, I created a background using distress oxide inks and the Four Points Star Stencil.  I stamped and colored these lovely flowers from the Fall Bouquets stamps with coordinating dies.  To finish, I placed a strip of orange cardstock, edged with brown ink, and cut brown cardstock using the 'Thanks' word die.

Blessings to you and yours this Thanksgiving!

Autumn Blessings

It seems that "Christmas" gets earlier and earlier.  Thanksgiving is beginning to be overlooked and that makes me want to take pause.  Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for the many blessings in our lives and is the inspiration for my card today.

 For the background, I chose a design from the Sweater Weather paper pad and the strip is a design from the Pumpkin Spice paper pad.  I used Stitched Circle Dies to cut dark brown cardstock and a design from the Pumpkin Spice paper pad.

 These darling pilgrim mice, pumpkins and sentiment are all from the Autumn Blessings stamp set.  This set also has coordinating dies!  The sentiment was stamped on kraft cardstock and cut with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  

Here's hoping you and yours have a very blessed Thanksgiving!
