Thankful For You

 Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends in the United States! This happens to be my favorite week of the entire year... food, family, good movies, good sportsball, and drinks :) Cheers!

I created a mixed media thankful card for you all! But the actual recipient will be my husband... I will never have enough words to let him know how grateful I am for his support, always.

This card uses some beautiful BetterPress plates by Dina Wakley. I ordered them upon first release many months ago and they've been sitting in my "need to use" bin. I'm sad it took me so long to get to them!

I started by gluing some Dina Wakley collage paper to watercolor paper. Once dried with my heat tool, I then ink blended the edges with Spicy Mustard Ink, then also sprayed the panel with Yellow Metallic Spray and Acrylic Mineral Spray.

Once all of the sprays were completely dried, I started to BetterPress! I started with the press plates that I wanted to ink in Cornflower blue, which are from both the Growing BetterPress Plates and the Flourishing BetterPress Plates. I then inked up the spotted image plates in Espresso Ink, whcih are both from the same sets.

I looooove how much indentation there is with the layers of the mixed media panel. 

Keeping it quick today... enjoy your holiday!

Happy Brunch Day!

 I know it's not Sunday, which is the perfect day for brunch, but hump-day Wednesday is the next best thing! 

I imagine they are all dancing in excitement before I pour maple syrup on top of them and eat them :) 

When I saw the egg die I actually first thought it was a sliced avocado! I guess that's the California in me. So since I'm the only one who thought "avo!" I made sure to include an egg, too. This adorable die set is the Spellbinders November Small Die of the Month. I do look forward to getting these each month, and I have been a sub to the small die for three full years now. It's a great value and the dies are always very fun!

All of my dies are cut from various ColorWheel cardstock colors. I also used the Plaid Company Embossing Folder for the background to add some subtle texture.

Oh my gosh and they're drinking little coffees, too. I love them!

Hey There, Book Worm

 I hope you've been enjoying all of the November Hero Studio inspiration. The book theme is just so much fun and a great mini escape from all the holiday cards filling your feeds! I have two more cards to share that feature different kits from the release. To view my original two cards for the release, visit my blog post here.

I said it before and I'll say it again... this little wormy is the star of the entire release! This card uses the open book dies from the November Card Kit. The worm himself and the 'hello book worm' come from the November Die Set. I used the beautiful new ColorWheel cardstocks to put this one together.

My second card came together very quickly. There was much much less die cutting and gluing compared to my book worm card...

The November Cling Stamp is the star of this card. I can see that checkerboard pattern being popular for summer themed cards, too. I stamped the cling in Dusty Blue and Cornflower for an ombre look. The stamped panel was cut with the Rounded Rectangle Infinity Dies.

The sweet image is from the November Stamp and Cut set. I did some very basic coloring with my Copics, die cut the image, and centered it on some Peony cardstock cut with the Rounded Jewel Infinity Die. I finished it off with some flowers cut from the main November Card Kit.
