Give Thanks

A very long time ago, I picked up a couple of small wreath shaped pieces someplace or other that I intended to decorate and while I was looking for some ideas in my stash of alterable items, I pulled one of them out. 

 



 

The wreath is about 6" in diameter so it is pretty small.  I wrapped some 5/8" striped cotton ribbon around it very tightly and attached it at the beginning and the end with Tear and Tape adhesive. 

 

Next, I picked up some leftover Paper Pumpkin items from the June kit and some sequins leftover from my Watercolor Wishes card kit (which I haven't shared with you yet!!).  The little wooden banner pieces are attached to the Venetian crochet trim ribbon with tear and tape adhesive and I put some on the backside to help stabilize it as well.  On the back side I left the paper on it so that only one side is sticky (hope that makes sense!).

 

I chose the sentiment from the Banner Blessings set and matted it onto a piece of Farmer's Market designer series paper.

 

Finally I added a way to hang it on the wall using some Venetian crochet trim ribbon and linen thread.

 

Supplies:

Banner Blessings

Blackberry Bliss ink

I am falling behind with the posts again!  Having the kids home is great, but it also means I don't have the few minutes here and there to create or put together my blog posts...



 

This layout uses the Sweet Taffy Designer series paper along with the Banner Blessings stamp set. 

 

I have also used one of the Project Life Stampin' Up! journaling cards and a printed title and journaling. 

 

Supplies:

Banner Blessings

Tempting Turquoise ink

Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive card stock

Sweet Taffy dsp

Little Labels punch pack

 

Banner Blessings

I just love the new photopolymer stamp set called Banner Blessings!  The card I am sharing today uses it and I had to take a picture with my phone because I gave it away shortly after I made it...sorry for the poorer quality of the picture!

 



 

I chose to add a circle of the image from Pleasant Poppies behind the saying and used the Coastal Cabana blendabilities markers to make the saying pop.
