Practical Scrappers Thanksgiving Card

Hello!  Can you believe it's the month of November?  Today at Practical Scrappers there is a reveal of the November 1 Card Sketch, created by design team member Patty Selah.  

November 1 Card Sketch

The design team was asked to create a card with a Thanksgiving theme so I happily took out some seasonal papers from the We R Memories "Country Livin" Collection and created this simple card.

I cut some ribbon that was maple leaves and applied some Beacon 3-In-1 Glue and adhered some sequins to the maple leaves.  I then found a wood button and tied a bow with twine and misted a wood leaf embellishment with October Afternoon Sprinklers (Rotary Phone) to make it a green shade.  Next, I added my title in some woodgrain mini letter stickers by October Afternoon.  Voila!  A simple Thanksgiving card!  

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out what some of the other design team members at Practical Scrappers created with the card sketch here.

Happy Friday the 13th!  I am not a superstitious person and I love Fridays.  How about you?

Practical Scrappers September Card Sketch

For my card I took the sketch quite literally and got busy cutting out some diecuts with my Silhouette Cameo and used some twine, washi tape and letter stickers.  I then took the apple diecut and adhered sequins to it and then used my sewing machine to stitch around the front edge of the card.

I hope you are inspired to try a card today.  I don't consider myself a card maker, but I tried to think of it as a "mini layout".  I think it turned out pretty good if I say so myself.

Have a great weekend and hopefully you have time to do something you love.
