Thankful Fox!

It is so crazy how fast time flies! Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I know we are still in Halloween mode, but I thought a little thankful fall card would be a nice change for this week's post. For this card, I made it into a 5x7 and used Art Impressions stamp set #5191 Feast Mode Set. I used fall paper from Honeybee Stamps and The die cut framing the fox is from Spellbinders. The image was colored with Copic Markers and I used a gelly roll pen to add accents to the sweater. To finish it off, I added some epoxy dots and a matching bow with ribbon from my stash. I hope you like it!

Thanksgiving Harvest Wishes!

 Happy Friday Art Impressions friends. 

Tasha here sharing a Fall themed card inspired by the current Gobble-Gobble! Challenge.

Thanksgiving is next week and Art Impressions has so many great Fall sets to create fun cards and projects. Today I used the 5507–Harvest Together Set to make a golden Fall design. I stamped the girl scarecrow and cut her out with the included dies; I just love her basket of apples! After die-cutting, I colored her with Copic Markers and used foam tape to pop her up in the center of the card.

For the background, I blended a warm golden sky and added a wooden ground for a rustic look. I also used three dies from the 6046–Scalloped Oval Dies to create a pretty layered frame in rich Fall colors. To finish the card, I added layers of white, copper, and black card stock along with a piece of Ai plaid paper for an extra cozy touch.

Thanksgiving Cards by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing two new cards perfect for Thanksgiving!

My first card uses the sweet hedgehog image from the 5191-Feast Mode Stamp Set. This critter is so happy and I love the fruit and leaves around him! For extra color, I used orange Distress Oxide Ink to create a glowing frame and added layers of purple card stock and plaid pattern paper. These Fall colors look fantastic on this card!

The second card uses the pumpkin pie stamp from the 4939-Full of Thanks Set. This set includes several cute characters, but I thought it would be fun to create a background with the little pie image! Pumpkin pie is my all time favorite dessert and I look forward to having it this Thanksgiving!

I colored the pie images with markers and stamped "Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving" on to a stitched banner. I also added some gold glitter paper and gold dots for some shine; I love the gold color!

I hope you enjoyed today's projects and are inspired to create some Thanksgiving cards!

Gobble 'Til You Wobble by Dana Warren

Hello AI Fans!!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!! I don't know about you but I love all the great family and food time that's happening tomorrow! My card today is a little tongue in cheek, I paired the Gobble Set with some elements from Jillibean Soup Happy Camper Stew Collection. I think the Detour, Pit Stop, and The Fun Never Stops make for a cute and funny Thanksgiving card!! 

This card is my take on the collage style cards! I'm not really good at it (I'm a bit of a perfectionist!) but I tried really hard to just let it come together without a lot of changes!

I started by stamping the turkey behind (haha!!) on watercolor cardstock and then used my Distress Markers to color it. I used Vintage Photo, Rusty Hinge, Tea Dye, Gathered Twigs, Mustard Seed, Seedless Preserves, Candied Apple, Spiced Marmalade. Then I fussy cut it out with sharp scissors.

Next, it was just a matter of adhering all the elements. I have the collection together, including some extra pieces I die cut but didn;t use. I used a notebook page and the turkey as the center and added the flowers, buttons, and sentiments.

The turkey behind was added with a wobble, making the card a little interactive. Last I stamped the Gobble 'Til You Wobble sentiment at the bottom. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving from Kerry

Hello Ai friends!

I can't believe Thanksgiving (for our American friends) is just a week away.  I want to create a sweet little card for you using the adorable Little Pilgrims (SKU# J1107).  Aren't they just so cute?

I also added a sentiment called Happy Thanksgiving (SKU# F1655) which is totally perfect!

I absolutely adore the font!
