Thankful for you because you're sweet!

Hi guys! Hope that when you're reading this, that you are doing well and feeling happy and healthy. It's Thanksgiving week! Gosh - that came quickly! The hubs and I will spend a quiet holiday at home (as we always do) and he has the week off from work next week. We'll get some projects done and start watching Christmas movies. In the craft room yesterday I reminded myself that I never used the SUPER cute new paper I got from Doodlebug!! And, after this week I'll be moving head on into Christmas crafting.... I decided to make some quick and simple cards with a Fall theme and get them posted today!! Happy Thanksgiving week to you and your family. I am THANKFUL for YOU! 

The Pumpkin Spice collection from Doodlebug is seriously the most adorable thing I've ever seen!! I used one of my go-to card layouts and pretty papers and accents and whipped up two cards. Both cards are A2 sized white card bases. A few of my fav stitched dies, and a few stamps - and there we have some cards! First up is this adorable little pumpkin spice latte wearing a smile!!

 

Here's a top down view so you can see the layers. I covered the front of the card with that pretty teal plaid. Then I die cut out a stitched rectangle and two stitched circles.... I wrapped some patterned paper around the center of the rectangle.... These cards come together easily. On each one, the smaller circle has a design cut into it with a die. These two dies are from Lil Inker Designs, and unfortunately they have closed shop. You can use whatever background cover plate die you have, or even an embossing folder for this step. It just adds a bit of interest on all that white space.

 

I affixed the Doodle-Pop image into the center of the circles. I added a tiny blue leaf too! EEEP. 

 

 

 

I used the matching stamp set for this collection and stamped the sentiment onto the bottom of the white panel. Nice crisp black ink.

 

For this cutie pie bear card, I used exactly the same techniques and layout. See how different it can look? Brown and teal together is such a pretty and warm color palette. I love it...and just that tiny bit of soft yellow. I think this would make an adorable baby card!

 

 

 

 

 

BZZZZZZ! Look at that sweet bee!

 

 

Okay! That's it for today, and probably that's it for Fall crafting for 2020! The Greetery new release reveals start on Tuesday morning! Please make sure to come by then to see what's up. I've been busy making cards to show you! XOXO

I love Doodle Bug... they make the most adorable stuff. I have some puffy stickers for Christmas that I bought a while ago. Something cute to share with my granddaughters. I am dialed into The Greetery for Tuesday and can't wait to see what you've done. Great job and saying goodbye to Fall crafting myself.
