2017 Holiday Craft Hoarders Anonymous Blog Hop

Hey there crafty peeps!  It's the most wonderful time of the year... and the Craft Hoarders are back at it again with the 2017 Craft Hoarders Anonymous Blog Hop!  You should be arriving at my blog from the very talented Patti Hamil's blog, if not, head over to the beginning with Gloria to catch all of the wonderful projects!

I have created a lovely Thanksgiving card to send to my family this year since we will not be able to spend the day with them.  All of the products are from Fun Stampers Journey.  All of the supplies will be listed at the end of the post with links.

I started by stamping a 2.5"x 5.5" piece of Journey Splash cardstock with the leave stamps from the Artful Leaves stamp set in clear pigment ink.  I then heat embossed them with Gold Journey Embossing powder.  I colored all of the leaves in with Liquid colors in Candy Apple, Fresh Forest, Orange Creamsicle, Lemon Drop, and Pretty Amethyst.  Once this was dry, I added a layer of Clear Sparkle Silk to all of the leaves for an added touch. 

I took an A2 size piece of Pretty Pansy cardstock and ran it through my die cutting machine with the Fall Text Embossing Folder.  I then rubbed Gold Pan Pastel over the embossed panel to make the impression stand out.  I stamped a thin panel of the Journey Splash cardstock with sentiments from the Happy Fall and Harvest Wreath stamp sets in Candy Apple and Dark Roast Fusion Inks. 

I adhered the leaf panel to an A2 card base made of Pretty Pansy cardstock.  I then took the embossed panel and cut it into two smaller panels.  I popped them up with foam squares and adhered them to the card base.  I adhered the sentiment panel to the bottom of the card.  I finished the card with a bow made from Gold Twinkle Trim and Whip Cream Thread.   Finally, I added a Nature Button to the top.

I am so Thankful for the continued support from all of my blog followers.  I have decided to do a little giveaway.  All you need to do is comment on this post telling me what your favorite holiday tradition is.  I will randomly draw a winner from all of the comments at 10:00am CST on Black Friday November 24th.

I hope you enjoyed my Thanksgiving card today and have been enjoying the other stops on the hop.  Head on over to Pam Bray's Blog for her project and leave some love.
