Feather Thank You Card

Today's project features this beautiful feather die from Die-namics and Dylusions Ink Spray from Ranger.


Feathers and chevrons are really popular in scrapbooking right now, and I decided to combine the two to create this lovely thank you card featuring the colours of the season.

I love how the orange and black worked out here to create a nice autumn colour palette but doesn't lean toward Halloween. Funny enough, two of the papers I used for this card are from Halloween paper packs, but I think they were generic enough to work on this project! Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Supplies:

Paper - K&Company and miscellaneous Halloween paper stack
Cardstock - Bazzil
Dies - Die-namics (feather) and Tim Holtz/Sizzix - (Plaque & Poster edge die)
Dylusions Ink Spray - Pure Sunshine, Squeezed Orange and Tangerine Dream
Stamps - Just Rite and Hot off the Press
Ink - Colorbox, Versafine and Stampin' Up
Hemp Twine

Beautiful Fall - Prima Paper Dolls and Paper Doll Blog Hop Sign Up

More new supplies to play with brings more new projects! I have been resisting the Prima Paper Dolls by Julie Nutting trend for a long time thinking I had no idea how I would use them. But seeing other great projects online inspired me to pick one up - and once I started the ideas began to flow and now I can't wait to get more.

Here's my first Prima Paper Doll project - a great fall tag I plan to use on a nice little thank you gift!

Fall is in the air

I love the fall season! I love the temperature. I love the colours. I love Thanksgiving and Halloween. And I love pulling out all my favourite fall paper lines and playing with projects.

Today I got to play with some new supplies - A sunflower stamp from Stampendous and some new markers.

Tags are such a great way to play with your new supplies on a small canvas - and when they're done, you can use them on all sorts of things - birthday gifts, thank you gifts, a nice bottle of wine hostess gift, you can put them on layouts or add them to a card! I just use some cardstock and a hole punch to make the tag base - fast, easy, and I can make it any size or colour I need.

Supplies:

Bo Bunny - Forever Fall Paper
Bazzil Cardstock
Stampendous Sunflower Stamp
Ranger Embossing Powder - Copper
Crafters Workshop templates
Heartfelt Creations Text/Script Stamp
Spellbinders Hexagon Dies
Stampin' Up Blendabilities Markers (although you could also use Copics)
Brads - unknown
Basic Grey Ribbon

And now "TAG....You're It!". We want to see some of your great tag creations, so dig out your supplies - new and old - make some tags and share them here!
