Hello, and happy Sunday, everyone! Claire is our amazing hostess this week at the Players, and she has an equally-amazing Tic-Tac-Toe challenge for us:
I chose the bottom row across of embossing, twine and a fall item, although that was not my first choice---I'll share that card later, LOL! I did a second card, and that's what I am sharing today:
The FarmQuest Challenge blog is asking for CORN for their challenge this week, so I thought it would fun to use the corn dies from Fruitful Blessings as the fall item for my card today! I cut both diecuts using Crushed Curry, but I sponged on some Cajun Craze ink on the bottom diecut to give it some depth. A Naturals White husk and some Old Olive greenery
I added a twine bow, an embossed background featuring fall words, and I cut out a sentiment, also from Fruitful Blessings. The inside uses some Fruitful Blessings images and a Thanksgiving sentiment from the retired Day of Thanks:
Claire's grid gives you lots of possibilities for some fall/thankful/Thanksgiving cards! I hope you'll find some inspiration and play along with us! Be sure to check out what the other designers created as well..you'll find they're not ALL fall-related!!! Check them out at the Paper Players blog!
The kids had a busy weekend...they went to a concert on Friday night:
I love the intent look on Wayne's and Cassidy's faces:

What a fun Thanksgiving card with the corn! I just love how you put this together! It's been a while since I've been to a concert but I remember how fun they always were. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteWow! I wish I had those dies for the corn and husks as well as the embossing folder! This is A-MAIZE-ING!!!! Pun intended! :) Gorgeous! This is the kind of card that I describe as a display keepsake. It can be brought out every year to be displayed during the autumn season! Wonderful! Thanks for linking to FQCB's corn theme! --Becca
ReplyDeletePerfect card for Thanksgiving! I love how you call your crew the "kids" because I do too - and they are all in their 40's.....well except for Will and Emma...lol
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, I just LOVE this card. I am thinking I need these corn dies. The embossed background and the twine add so much texture! Such a heartfelt sentiment, too! Have an amazing week, My Friend and Thanks for rocking my challenge this week!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty Thanksgiving card, LeAnne! I love how you've been using this corn die! Beautiful colors and I just love that embossed cardbase, too! Hope that the kids had a fun time at their concert. We went to a concert on Saturday night in Harrisburg. It was so much fun but a 1am bedtime was way later than normal! LOL TFS
ReplyDeleteI love your ears of corn on that embossed background!
ReplyDeleteI love every fabulous detail on this card, it's so pretty! Looks like they had a great time at their concert!
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, I love how you used the decorative corn, I have been watching for examples of how people are using these dies. Your card is beautiful. The embossed background is a perfect background.
ReplyDeleteOh, LeAnne! These corn dies are awesome. I resisted this bundle, but now, after seeing what you have created, I have to have it. The embossed background is the perfect backdrop for the corn. I love everything about this card.
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, your card is great! I love the corn dies and the white blind-embossed Thanksgiving background.
ReplyDeleteXoxo, Fran
LeAnne, what a gorgeous photo - they all look so happy! As for your card. I love that corn die and your use of that embossing folder adds so much wonderful texture. I also love the elements you brought into the inside. The textured bow is the perfect finishing touch.

I love the detail on those corn husks front and centre LeAnne but that embossing folder is a fall treasure - I love it!
