DeNami Product Spotlight: Turkey

DeNami Product Spotlight: Turkey

10% Off for one week only!

Who remembers Magic Mesh?  I've had it in my craft stash for years!! It made the perfect backdrop for my cute little turkeys.  I stamped the turkey 3 times onto cream cardstock.  Colored with copics, cut out, and foam taped on top of the cornstalks I stamped and colored.  I used the circle interlock embossing folder on the brown cardstock.... isn't it pretty?  Quick and simple, perfect fall card for anyone. 

DeNami Pin-spired Project

I admit it, this photo stumped me.  I think its a great photo and all, but I couldn't figure out how to use it for inspiration on my card.  This simple Thanksgiving card idea finally came to me! 

Fun, fall themed patterned paper was cut into long triangles and taped onto the kraft cardstock front.  I then added a bit of twine and tied a few little bows.  The Happy Thanksgiving was stamped in sepia inside of the orange stitched rectangle.  I noticed the Happy Thanksgiving stamp is available as a cling now too - in case you don't prefer wood mounted.  As soon as I finished the card, I realized I should have embossed the kraft cardstock to add some interest/dimension.  Maybe next time!!  I don't have patience to re-do a card, call me lazy.  

DeNami ELEGANT Sneak Peek

It's an exciting time! Sneak Peek Time at DeNami! 

Hopefully you are following along with all of the fun at the DeNami Blog.

My 1st card showcases the gorgeous peacock feathers! Aren't they stunning? I stamped them using a black memento ink and colored with copics. I went back over them with a quickie glue pen and some extra fine glitter to give them some shine.  Thank you stamped in black onto a white cardstock strip.  I tried to make a perfect line with my marker, it was a near fail, but I'm going with it anyway.

The next two Christmas cards actually use the exact same stamp, I just used it differently to show how versatile it is.  The most common way is to stamp the entire image onto white cardstock like I did below.  The above card just uses the floral image and I left off the sentiment.  I was able to mask a different Merry Christmas stamp and stamped it in red onto the white cardstock.  Added some twine and rhinestones.  

How pretty are the new solid leaf images? They are BIG CLING images and stamp out so beautifully.  I chose to stamp them in fall colors and added a thinking of you sentiment. This could easily be used as a Thanksgiving or fall card if you choose.  The sentiment fits perfectly into the new Elegant Word Plate -- another one of my favorites!

I know, I always say that I love the new stamps, but I REALLY do love the new DeNami stamps this season.  Anyone have a favorite?  They are all so pretty and what a versatile and unique collection! Chickies, leaves, Christmas, Elegant, florals!!

DeNami Color Challenge #11: By Deanna

DeNami Color Challenge #11.  Isn't this an absolutely gorgeous fall color combo?  We haven't quite officially hit fall yet here in Vegas. Still in the 90's during the day.  Lots of flip flop wearing ... but don't be too jealous.... we have to pay the power bill for the AC to run!

I love using this autumn stamp set to create fun background papers.  Super easy to stamp in black ink and add some color using markers. Quick and easy!  I added in a few elegant floral leaf sprigs to fill in the empty space.  Happy Thanksgiving sentiment in Sepia Versafine ink onto Kraft cardstock. I added some big brown buttons and twine.  Mounted it all onto an orange die cut shape that I stamped using the basic borders set.  I roughed and inked up the edge of the cream cardstock and mounted it onto a green cardbase.

In case you need your chickie fix for the day ----

I found this older card --- works for the color challenge too!  

Hoping you are inspired by the colors -- join in on the fun!! 

CAS-ual Fridays: Over the Edge CFC #27

CAS-ual Fridays: Over the Edge Challenge. 

CAS-ual Fridays challenge ends in 7 hours... I finally had a chance to whip something up for it this morning.  I don't normally have pieces hang off the edge of my cards, so this was a challenge!  I need a few more thanksgiving cards, so I grabbed 3 DeNami stamps and added some leaves to meet the hanging off requirement.  Today is Friday for us here in Vegas, my kids get a 4 day weekend.  November is full of lots of days off!
Stamps: Happy Thanksgiving, Wheat Stalk, Pumpkin. 

Product Spotlight: Cornucopia.  This stamp is 10% for 1 week! 

I used the cornucopia as my focal point, and stamped a matching background using some smaller coordinating stamps.  Kind of a busy card for me, but I guess that's what I was feeling like that day!   I do enjoy combining different stamps and making unique patterns, I even had some fun coloring too!   In case this one is too crazy for you...  there are 2 cards below that I made this summer for the sneak peaks on the DeNami blog.  A bit more simple looking.  Thanks for stopping by, and make sure you visit the DeNami Blog for more inspiration using this cornucopia stamp!

What stalks just seem so perfect for a fall or thanksgiving day card.  I stuck with the standard fall colors on this one and added some fun bling with the glitter ribbon and rhinestones.  This could be used anytime in October or November to thank someone in your life.  Don't you just love that chocolate glitter ribbon? It's my favorite color of glitter ribbon.... for sure!

DeNami FALL Bloghop

Welcome to the DeNami Fall Blog Hop. What a perfect way to start off the month!

You should be arriving from Tenia's Blog.  If not, you can start at the beginning of the hop.

DeNami has such a fun collection of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and General Fall stamps.  As usual, the hardest part for me is choosing what stamps to use.  I decided on the new Thanksgiving Chickies.   They make such a fun little fall scene.  I also love the sentiment, perfect for anytime of the year - Thankful for you. Are you shocked? Yep, I used my sewing machine.  I don't do it very often, now I remember why.  I always seem to have some sort of mishap!

Now it's time to visit SUZANNE she is the next one on the hop.

This color combo was fairly challenging for me.  I love making fall cards, so that helped a bit. I inked up about 2/3 of the polka dot background stamp and stamped on the lime cardstock.   4 little squares were a perfect match for this cute little Thanksgiving set.  Colored them real quick (had to get grey in there somehow!) added a bow... done. Perfect little card for anyone.

2 Sketches 4 You OTWC #28 Challenge

 

 It's been a few weeks since I've participated in a 2 Sketches 4 You sketch - so I made it a priority to make time today.  I used Kazan's Sketch #63 with the colors from Off The Wall Craftiness #28.  Somehow the sweet little DeNami Turkey made it onto this card too... just can't get enough of him!   He fits perfectly inside of the Give Thanks Circle Stamp.  The Citrone glitter looks so cute on his feathery wings... love it!

Happy Thanksgiving = DeNami Style

Wee Memories Challenge #23 is to use 2 of the following: Orange - Twine - Scallops. I managed to incorporate all 3 onto this card.  I ordered some baking twine from etsy - but it hasn't arrived yet, so I tied a little twine onto my Sand Button. Yesterday was the 1st day of fall - and it's still HOT in Vegas - so I thought it would be fun to act like it is fall here... so Happy Thanksgiving!  I used all of my DeNami goodies for this card.  I just kept stamping until my background paper looked complete. Love how all of these stamps go together.  Ann noticed that my card works perfect for the Everything But the Kitchen Sink Challenge this week - thanks Ann!!
