Pre-cut note cards, felt leaves that were stickers, rhinestone gems = a really cute Thanksgiving card. I added a little gel pen to the leaves to give them some texture.
I wish all of you a very blessed Thanksgiving holiday!
My daughter went to a birthday party the day after Halloween. This was how I wrapped the Present. The orange bag is a popcorn style box that my friend Shauna sent me. (Thanks!) Not sure I remember where she got it- but its really cute! I took some ghostly greeting paper and some old olive ribbon- and this is what I created. the gems are stickers- and that was my daughters addition to the design. What was inside? a Pink Pony Webkinz

Answers to some Christmas Tree questions…..
for the Tree, there are no measurements. take a look at the bottom edge of each layer. I punched (from scraps) 7 scallops, then six, then 5 and so on. I then hand cut the triangles so the edges would hide behind the layer above it. start at the bottom and work your way up. Its so simple!
Thanks to everyone who left such sweet comments!
This would make such a CUTE party invite for a little boy!– Change it up to pinks & purples and it would be perfect for a girl!

I cased the bat from HERE. I used the Stampin’ Up! new square scallop punch to make the bat. All you need to do is fold the punched square in half, snip in with your scissors at an angle to create the head/ ears and fold it back. Add eyes with the gel pen.

In hindsight, the white panel would have been better in very vanilla! Definitely used my Stamp-a-ma-jig for the background. My tiny little Starstruck stamp set was feeling neglected. Do you sometimes forget that black is so easy to work with? All supplies are Stampin’ Up! unless noted.
