Thanksgiving Cards

There will be several choices for the November 4th group to work on. There's the decorated box, banner and these cards. I'm sure we won't have the time to complete it all. This way folks can choose what the wish to work on.

We will also be discussing the Christmas Card exchange and selecting an exchange date in December. I will have light snacks for the exchange day. Participants will make the number of participants plus one for their collection. The only requirement is using the Pear and Partridge paper. I have many Christmas stamps they can borrow. I am also available to help with design or folks can pick a card design from the earlier swap I participated in.

We have not set a date for the scrapbook gathering in November.

Below are the Thanksgiving cards folks can make from their "flirty" paper packet.

Technique: Heat Embossing

November Gathering

October's card gathering introduced the  triple stamp technique. We also used the cuttlebug to create a brick wall for the mummy card. The group tested out the new alcohol markers with most members liking them. The last project was the Cricut Artiste 3D coffin project.  Most opted to leave the inside of the coffin empty for future candy placement. 

November's paper will be the 'Flirty Paper Pack". The basic paper pack costs $9.95. The projects will include the Cricut Artiste 3D Fall bag. This project will introduce the group to the heat embossing technique on the leaves which embellish the bag. In addition we are going to decorate a "My Acrylix Organizer" box where cards can be stored and given as a Christmas gift. A small garland spelling "FALL" will be made from the flirty paper. This project will utilize rosettes as a backdrop for the letters. If there is time and an interest a Thanksgiving card can be made. 

November's card gathering is scheduled for Sunday November 4th at 1PM. Note: This is also the first day of the Daylight Savings time change. Prior to this date if you plan to attend, you will need to purchase the Flirty Paper Pack.You can order this from the CTMH Website link which is on the right hand side of this blog or you can order Saturday at the scrap gathering.

The October scrap gathering is scheduled for this Saturday at 1PM. Be sure to bring your paper cutter, paper pack, adhesive and scissors. This gathering will be small and should move quickly. We will be cutting some simple shapes from the Artiste cartridge/Cricut machine.
