Hopping with Buttons Galore and Poppystamps -- Holiday Card

Are you hopping with us today?  If you are you should have reached me from Jeanne Jachna's blog.  If you’d like to start at the beginning and get all the details, you can find them at the Buttons Galore and More blog!

My project is a holiday card using an awesome die from Poppystamps and buttons and sequins from Buttons Galore and More!

Materials used:

• "Open Hillside" die from Poppystamps
• 28 Lilac Lane "Winter Whites" Sequin and Bead Mix from Buttons Galore and More
• 28 Lilac Lane "Festival of Lights" Premium Sequin Tin from Buttons Galore and More
• "I Love Snow" buttons from Buttons Galore and More
• light blue card base
• white cardstock
• ThermoWeb 1/4" Super Tape
• ThermoWeb Memory Tape Runner
• letter stickers from NRN Designs
• Sizzix Big Shot
• button shank remover

Instructions:

1. Using a Sizzix Big Shot machine and the Poppystamps "Open Hillside" die, die cut one card front from white cardstock. Ink edges of die cut if desired. Attach the die cut to the blue card using a tape runner.
2. Remove shanks from backs of snowflake buttons. Attach buttons to card using small pieces of Supertape.
3. Using tape runner, attach stars from "Festival of Lights" sequin mix to card front (interspersed among snowflakes).
4. Line all 4 edges of the white die cut with Supertape. Sprinkle with "Winter White" sequin mix.
5. Place letter stickers at top of die cut directly under the sequins. 

This card is easy to make, but looks like you spent tons of time!

Gobble 'Til Ya Wobble Chalkboard Signs

It's almost turkey time!

Every year, I host Thanksgiving here at my house. Even though I am only cooking for 5 people, I make enough food for at least twice that so the saying "Gobble 'Til Ya Wobble" takes on real meaning this time of year!

I used the Deflecto wet-erase easels and chalk markers to make these fun Thanksgiving-themed easels showing my menu and my motto for the day.

I dressed up the first with some pretty ribbon from Webster's Pages and a cornucopia sticker that I mounted on chipboard.

On the second, I attached a little paper-pieced turkey on an embossed background and then put the whole thing on the chalkboard.

These easels are so cool -- the wooden legs are a beautiful wood and the chalkboard surface is a black plastic-like material that you can clean off with just water (which is great if you don't like your handwriting and you have to erase it a hundred times to make it look right... not that I would know anything about that). Those people at Deflecto are geniuses, I tell you!

I hope all of you have a fantastic Thanksgiving!

Materials used:
Deflecto chalkboard easels and chalk markers (provided by Deflecto)
Ribbon by Webster's Pages
Adhesive by Thermoweb
Sticker unknown
Paper piecing -- this pattern came from an online source but I don't know where! If you know the creator of this pattern, let me know so I can attribute it to him/her!
