Team Apple Pie or Team Pumpkin Pie?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Holidays are quickly approaching and I'm beginning to prepare cards for the holidays and planning the menus.

I love celebrating Thanksgiving.  It really kicks in the holiday season.  Gathering around with family and friends for some yummy food, laughing, and planning Christmas events is something I look forward to every year.

So the question is - are you team apple pie or pumpkin pie for the dessert table?  To be honest, I really don't care for apple pie but I enjoy eating the crust 😊 so I'm team pumpkin pie all the way!  Although, a pecan pie sometimes makes an appearance 😉

For this yummy looking Thanksgiving card, I decided to include both so everyone gets a piece!


Using Kat Scrappiness's Perfect Pie Maker Dies and Perfect Pie Maker Add On dies, I made three pumpkin and one apple pie.  I die cut the crust pieces onto kraft colored cardstock and ink blended a dark cocoa color to add some toastiness to the crust.  I die cut the pumpkin pie with orange cardstock and then ink blended a darker orange by the crust area since that's where it is darker when it comes out of the oven.  After adhering all the pie pieces together, I laid down some Glossy Accents onto the crust to give it that golden shine!

For the two white panels, I die cut them out using the Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle Dies from Kat Scrappiness.  For the smaller panel, I heat embossed Sparkling Sand Embossing Powder from WOW! which adds that little bit of sparkle.

I cut a triangle out of the pumpkin pie and glued that triangle onto the pie server which was die cut out with metallic silver cardstock.

I then glued the apple pie and pumpkin die directly onto the smaller card panel and popped up the pie server, the red pie plate, and the pumpkin pie slice with foam tape to add dimension.

I cut a piece of black and white gingham pattern paper from the Farmhouse cardstock pack from Kat Scrappiness and a small strip of black cardstock.

I glued the black and white pattern paper down first onto the large panel.  I added more foam tape to the pie panel and adhered that onto the panel next.  I applied glue alongside the pattern paper and adhered the black strip.  I cut off the excess and repeated the steps for the other three sections.  By cutting one long strip of black cardstock ensured that all four sections were the same size and it also saved on cutting the cardstock four times, especially since I only needed four small pieces.

I then added the white whipped topping after it was all assembled.

For the sentiment, I used a stamp from Kat Scrappiness in the Happy Fall Y'All stamp set and heat embossed that with white embossing powder onto black cardstock.  The die I used was from Gina K master layouts 2.

In The Mood For Color

Hello again crafty friend! Today's card stems from the class called "In The Mood for Color" with Stephanie Klauck as part of Altenew's Educator Certification Program.  She suggested that we focus on the mood of a color instead of the stamp or die cut.  She explained that each color represents different moods and how that interprets onto the card. Looking at the colors and moods, I decided to use a color that I don't usually work with, orange.  Orange symbolizes health, happiness and courage.  I also wanted to use a stamp and die set that I haven't used yet either, Build A Flower Snapdragon.  Snapdragons are a great source for pollinators such as bees and have been around since the Roman era.  Orange snapdragon's represent desire, fascination, enthusiasm, positive energy, warmth, cheerfulness, success and passion.  I hope that some of these moods are expressed in today's card. Here is the card I will be discussing below: This stamp set has layering stam...

Color Your Day!

Hello there! Time has gone by since my last creative card post.  Life's been busy the past month or so, but it will be quiet again in a couple weeks - yeah!  I can get back to my crafting journey! For my next class for Altenew's Educator Certification Program, I chose Color Your Day by Therese Calvird.  The cards she made for this class were so beautiful and she gave many examples on how to find color inspiration such as an item around your home or from your own clothes! But, since I'm pretty boring and basic when it comes to color (😀), I chose to use the color wheel for my color inspiration.  I used three colors that were alongside each other called analogous in technical terms.  On the color wheel, green, blue-green, and blue are analogous.  Using that as my guide, I decided to use Eastern Sky, Pool, and Sweet Leaf from Altenew's Fresh Dye Inks. I ended up making two cards, but one will be my main focus and the other card is used as another example at th...

It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas!

Happy Holidays! Wow, the holidays are quickly approaching and I've been busy working on our Christmas cards for family and friends. I make a set of cards for family and a different set of cards for friends so I will be sharing them in several posts instead of one because I feel each one is special and deserves their own spotlight. The first card I am sharing with you today, is a card for a wonderful friend and her husband.  She loves crocheting and her husband is always there to help her untangle the yarn or support her when she's frustrated with a pattern.  We have been blessed to receive many of her beautiful creations especially crocheted angels that I proudly display.  So with that in mind, I was so excited to see a new product released from Concord & 9th - the Granny Square Turnabout stamp. Here is the card I will be discussing below: Since I will be needing four colors, one for each turn, I picked out Rhubarb and Cranberry for the red colors and Spring and Lucky...
