HOWEVER...I want to wish everyone a Blessed Thanksgiving Holiday, I hope you can enjoy great family time.  Wishing you all many blessings. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Jodi

Thanksgiving Treat Card

Good Monday Morning. With the time change it is hard to wake up on Monday morning and feel great, not sure why one hour makes such a difference in our lives but it does.
I found this card tutorial on Sunday and just had to try it.  This is called a " Treat Box Card" the tutorial I used is Here, I just love this card.  I wanted to fill this card with candy corn but I couldn't find any at the store, you would think it would be on clearance some place, but anyway.  The box side I did add a piece of clear cling so that the candy would not fall out.  I used a piece from an old cricut matt, if you plan to use that too you will need some tuff adhesive to make it stick, I used score tape.  I used a slot punch on the top on both flaps and they connect to keep it shut.

This is the inside of the card.  The center is not yet completed.  I cut out the flower mediallion and I pop dotted it, but I wanted to emboss the edge for a little more embellishment but my heat embosser is not working so I will do that later.  I used Stampin UP stamps for this card. Hope you like it.  This will complete my Thanksgiving cards.  Since we are so close now to Thanksgiving I think I have several now for that occasion.

Thankful card

OK, so this might be my last card for the day, maybe the weekend......or maybe not!  who knows what I might do next.  I made this card a few minutes ago and really enjoyed  seeing this come together.  I have been wanting to try gathering ribbon and I think it turned out ok, but with some practice I could do better.  I used a Stampin UP stamp for the Thankful.....it is really a stamp that says "Thankful for...."  but I took a marker and just marked the Thankful part....the rest is Stampin Up except for the Label in the center...and that stamp comes from Stamp TV...or Gina K...and I cut it with the nestabilitites Label 14 die set.  Love...Love...Love this stamp set and the paper for Thanksgiving.....

This is the inside of the card.  I used the Label 14 die set to cut out the labels and the sentiment is Stampin Up along with the leaves here which are stamped and cut out....so is the acorn. 

Thanksgiving Gatefold

I have been so concentrated on making Christmas Cards that I seemed to have let Thanksgiving go. So I decided that I didn't want to be like most stores in the area and forget Thanksgiving for Christmas.  I made this card today with Stampin Up products.  Everything here was Stampin Up.  I used a magnet to close the card since the gatefold card tends to stay open, which might be good if you like to display your cards.

This is the inside of the gatefold card.  All Stampin Up.

Thanksgiving Top Note Boxes

Pam and I were busy yesterday working on these boxes for our Stampin Up Party.

These are going to be our party favors, we will be adding a nice little treat inside them for each one of our guests.  These are so easy to make.  If you would like a pattern for making these just go to

Youtube and search for "Top Note Boxes" there are several videos there to help you make these.

We really enjoyed seeing them come together.  We used Stampin Up products for the boxes.
