Happy Thanksgiving Sentiment
The Details of My Card
Since this weekend is the Canadian Thanksgiving, I decided to create a mini slimline Thanksgiving card using this beautiful sunflower arrangement. Perfect for a Thanksgiving card with the sunflowers and pumpkins!
I had fun colouring with my Copic markers the pumpkins in different colours to make them stand out from each other. The sunflowers are so gorgeous and a delight to colour as well!
I found this beautiful sunflower paper with soft colours that was fantastic for my card! I added a border at the top and bottom with some scraps of paper from Graphic 45. The fence behind the sunflower arrangement was a laser die cut that I trimmed down to fit my card.
The sentiment from the bundle was die cut with the Labels Aglow Dies to give it some interest. Of course, if you have an autumn card, you need a die cut leaf. Lol! I tucked this behind the sentiment which created an ideal backdrop for the paper sunflower from my stash.
The only other embellishments were a bumblebee and a scattering of rhinestones that matched my colour scheme.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Pumpkin Patch Card using the new release Pumpkin Emily by Conie Fong Art & Design as my Design Team Inspiration Card. Doesn’t she make the most perfect autumnal card, but she could also be used for Halloween or Thanksgiving!
The Details of My Pumpkin Patch Card
For my card, I decided to create an autumnal card with fall like colours with a pumpkin patch theme since she is picking out her pumpkin. I had so much fun colouring Pumpkin Emily with my Copic Markers in oranges, blue/greens and blacks to match my paper. Once she was coloured, I added Clear Wink of Stella to the ribbon on her hat. For the cat, I decided to make it a tabby cat, but it could also be a black cat for Halloween. I used my black 0.3 Copic multi liner to add the stripes after I had coloured it with my Copic markers.
Next, I die cut her out with a 4” stitched circle die and placed a number of die cut leaves and a pumpkin in one corner to match my theme. The “Hello Pumpkin” sentiment was a sticker that came in the Carta Bella Welcome Fall Kit. In the other corner, I used another sticker of a Pumpkin Patch sign. Perfect for my Pumpkin Patch theme! The leaves falling around her were also from the same sticker set.
Finally, the finishing touch was a scattering of Enamel Dots that matched my colour scheme.

Hello Crafty Friends! Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Thanksgiving Memories Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design usingSunflower Pumpkin Gnome. This digital stamp comes with or without the background and in both png and jpg formats.
The Details of My Card
Since this weekend is the Canadian Thanksgiving, I decided to create a mini slimline Thanksgiving card using this cutie with the background. I love this time of year with the changing leaves and being thankful for so many things! I had a lot of fun colouring him in Autumnal colours of oranges, yellows, and browns! And I happen to be on a kick for mini slimline cards! So, that was a given! Lol!
Once he was coloured, I trimmed him to fit my card. I added some die cut leaves with a paper sunflower that I had in my stash. On the other side, I added a Fall flag that was perfect for my theme since Thanksgiving is all about family, memories and being grateful! The only embellishments were a lined thread bow on the flag and a scattering of rhinestones to match my colour scheme.
Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Happy Thanksgiving Card using several dies, including Tailor Made Tags Dies, Giving Gifts Dies, Picture This Dies and Word Wishes Dies to create my festive card.
For my card, I wanted to create a very Autumnal card for this time of year. So, I pulled out Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, Bumblebee and Old Olive to create my Fall wonderland card. I stamped each leaf off before stamping it onto my tag. I wanted a subtle background for my die cut word and leaves. The HAPPY was white embossed onto a scrap of Cherry Cobbler and layered onto a pile of leaves. I added to the tag, the Gingham Ribbon, and the Linen Twine which I frayed to create a rustic look.
The Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper has the perfect Fall paper in it that was destined for my card. I thought that the Picture This Dies would be a great way to have this DSP poking out. A scattering of die cut leaves and rhinestones make this card feel like there is movement to the falling leaves.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! The Canadian Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away. So, I am sharing my Happy Thanksgiving Slimline Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the new release Pumpkin Gnome. He comes with 6 images including the sentiment Sending Pumpkin Wishes.
Details of My Card
For my card, I coloured with my Copic Markers my sweet Gnome in Autumnal colours. To match these colours, I pulled out my Stampin’ Up! inks, fine blending brushes and the Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps Falling Leaves Stencil to create my Fall background.
The die cut wooden fence was the perfect backdrop for my sentiment. I added a flag with Doodlebug paper that tied in my gnome’s pumpkin. A die cut leaf and a couple of embellishments added balance to that corner. The finishing touch was a scattering of rhinestone in matching colours.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with My Happy Thanksgiving Card for the Design Team of Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using their sweet Thanksgiving Digital Stamp.
I had so much fun colouring with my Copic Markers all the harvest vegetables and fruit that are overflowing the cornucopia. I thought the Hello Autumn Paper Pad was perfect for my card with such rich autumnal colours. The “Blessings” chalkboard sentiment was from that paper pad as well. The sheet had a number of chalkboards and I just snipped the Blessings one out since I thought it summed up my card wonderfully. I love the die cut pumpkin and wheat stalks that are mounted behind the sentiment giving it some dimension. The “thankful” die was ideal for my card and I love how it overlaps the main focal point of the coloured image. A couple of wooden embellishments and Clear Gelly Roll Pen on the swirls add a final touch to my card.

Yesterday was the First Day of Autumn! So I decided to welcome it with my So Grateful Cardinal Card from the Toile Christmas Stamp Set. This stamp set is perfect for Christmas but can also be used for a beautiful fall or Thanksgiving card! I love this time of year with all the beautiful colours as the leaves change!
For part 5 of my colouring videos with Stampin’ Blends, I am demonstrating the flicking colouring technique. The other parts are listed below at the end of this document along with my Notes from a presentation that I did on using Stampin’ Blends.
Flicking Technique
This technique is achieved by applying ink in quick, single strokes. The key to this inking technique is to flick the marker tip across the page to create a single stroke that goes from dark to light.
Holding the marker loosely, start a downward movement towards the paper
As the marker tip touches the paper, quickly move across the paper, bringing our hand up and away from the paper. This will apply more ink at the beginning of the stroke and less at the end.
You may need to turn the paper to accommodate the angle that is most comfortable for you.
Flicks can be left unblended to create texture such as for hair or feathers (like the cardinal). Or, they can be blended out to create smooth shading.
For Technique Tuesday, I am sharing the Tip to Tip Blending Technique for my Let’s Gather Together Card using the Gather Together Bundle by Stampin’ Up! I love Fall and all the colours of the leaves that it brings! So, I thought the Tip to Tip would be perfect to showcase those colours! For my card, I create a frame using a Stitched Rectangle and the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper with the leaves “exploding” out of it. I used the Woodlands Embossing Folder as my base behind all the leaves “falling” from the trees. To tie in the Daffodil Delight colour, I used a strip of the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper and one of the leaves die cut and embossed. A strip of Copper Foil Paper and a scattering of Holiday Rhinestones Basic Jewels add a bit of shimmer to my card.
For part 4 of my colouring videos with Stampin’ Blends from my presentation, I am demonstrating the Tip to Tip Blending Technique. The other 3 parts are listed below at the end of this document.
Tip to Tip Blending Technique Chart
Tip to Tip Blending Technique
To combine two different coloured blends on an image, try the Tip to Tip Blending Technique. This gives you a smooth transition of colors and doesn’t end up looking all blotchy where the colors meet. I’ve chosen Calypso Coral and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends for my first leaf.
Stamp the image with Memento Ink.
Apply the Light Calypso Coral and Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends to the image. Meet somewhere in the middle with the colors – it doesn’t have to be neat.
With the Dark Calypso Coral and Dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends, add a layer of color around the edge of the image.
Brush the tip of the Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends over the tip of the Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends to pick up some color. The Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends marker then acts as your brush to apply a mix of both colors to the center of the leaf. I kept working these blends together until I was happy with the transition where the colors meet.
To demonstrate that this Tip to Tip Technique can work with other colors, I’ve created leaves using Old Olive with Soft Suede and Daffodil Delight with Cherry Cobbler. Don’t worry about your markers being contaminated—all you need to do is run them over some scrap paper a few times and the nibs will clean themselves.

I am happy to share my Country Harvest Card that is using my colouring techniques that I recently presented to fellow demonstrators. For my card, I knew I wanted to use an oldie, but a goodie, the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder! The In Good Taste Designer Series Paper has a photographic image of tiles that I thought would tie in nicely with the embossing folder and the country theme of my card. To further the country theme, I used the Denim Ribbon to transition between the DSP and the Brass Foil piece. I used the Brass Foil as an accent, but you could use one of the new Brushed Metallic Cardstock instead. To finish the card, I used two Antiqued Corners to set off the coloured image.
For Part 2 of my colouring with Stampin’ Blends from my presentation, I am showing the difference between colouring light to dark versus dark to light. For this demonstration, I used the jug from the Country Home Photopolymer Stamp Set. Some people prefer adding ink from light to dark creating a saturation of ink for easy blending. Others prefer to add ink from dark to light creating a lighter coloured image since you use less ink. The two most common ways to add ink are circling and flicking. Each technique produces a particular appearance and knowing how to use them will add depth and variation to your projects.
