It's time for another Stay Crafty With Hero challenge. With Thanksgiving in the US coming this month, we decided to make the theme Thank You Cards . This has been, without question, an incredibly difficult year. But one way to get through it is to think about all of the things you still have to be thankful for. Gratitude can lift spirits and help heal. And telling somebody you are thankful? That can help them get through their day as well! So, make some thank you cards, and tell someone you appreciate them. And while you're doing it, enter our challenge! We'll include all of the challenge details further down this post, but first, here's a gorgeous card and video from Kelly!
Today I have a video showing how I used masking to create a fall wreath using one leaf from the Tropical Flowers stamp set.
(If you are having trouble viewing this video, please try watching it HERE on YouTube)
Masking is such a simple technique that can really transform a card. When finished it looks like the wreath was one stamp!
I created a banner strip for the "thank you" message and finished off the card with some gold sequins. It's the perfect time of year to recognize all that you are thankful for and what better way than with a personal note to someone special.
Now it's your turn - we'd absolutely love for you to join us! We want to encourage you to actually sit down and enjoy the process of creating. We know it is a source of fun, relaxation and stress relief - something we all can use a bit more of right now. Create a new card for this challenge with the theme
