Holiday Season Arrives
Well, the turkey is thawing and fresh cranberries are ready to sauce at my house this Sunday. I love the traditions of an American Thanksgiving holiday especially all the choices for the special meal. Our family is small so we limit our menu somewhat but always include one new veggie side dish. But we're not here to discuss food, are we? It's "make more Christmas cards" time and here are a few to add to the stash this week.
My fantasy folk style tree was inspired by
Stephanie's card on PTI's first release day. I stamped small images from the
Make it Market: Holiday Folk and
Tinsel & Tags sets on a white tree die cut from a SSS stitched rectangle panel, added a sentiment from
Love is Here: Holiday, and a gold bell die cut from
Bells & Boughs, all older PTI products. The tree was wrapped with gold raffia and offset in the panel to show the kraft shadow. Black Soot DI was splattered on the background panel before assembling the scene.

Using a SSS Falling Snow stencil and Ranger Texture Paste, a scene with snow was created on this top-folding card. A PTI Noted Scalloped: A2 stitched frame encloses the sentiment and a trio of aqua shimmer paper snowflakes were added for sparkles.
My friend
Greta shared the SSS forest die cut panel which is backed with pattern paper and directly glued to a white card front. PTI's Winter Fox stands guard with a stamped Bells & Boughs sentiment.
I finally inked up the October Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit with all its vintage style images and dies. This card is a one-layer stamped panel with the skater masked to stamp the icy pond around her foot. Several snowflakes and light blue ink shadow her. This scene reminds me of childhood fun at a city park in Nebraska.
Thank you for stopping by today.
Wishing you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving!
