Sending Warm Season's Greetings

Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion
Hi Everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving~
We had a great Thanksgiving!! We went back home to spend time with family and friends for the holiday. I even did a little Black Friday shopping with my sister and had a blast as usual! We also had a wedding over the weekend so it was a busy few days but FUN!! I am hoping to play catch up this week and try and get back in my craft room to do some Christmas crafting~

Today, I have a very simple but pretty card to share with you. I happen to go to a fun little craft shop while on a craft retreat a few weeks ago and found some beautiful dies from Impression Obsessions and Paper Smooches for this card.

The pretty poinsettia is the Poinsettia die from Impressions Obsessions and the sprigs die is from Paper Smooches.  The beautiful greetings die is also from Impressions Obsessions.

 I stamped and embossed the sentiment with the Impression Obsessions Greeting stamp set and finished my card with some pretty sequins from my stash.

Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion 

Hi everyone! 

I hope you are having a great week so far!
We will be spending Thanksgiving back home with family and friends again this year. So, I will be off my computer for a few days but will be back to visit everyone real soon.  I hope you and your families have a wonderful Thanksgiving and safe travels to all who are traveling.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Before I go, I have a quick little treat to share. I thought this would be a fun idea to have at Thanksgiving near each place setting~It's filled with a yummy chocolate, caramel treat...surprise, surprise, lol!

I started with glassine bags that I found at the local craft store. I added a belly band and then with My Creative Time's Gobble Gobble stamp/die set stamped and colored the sweet turkey with copics.

 I used the Stitched Starburst Dies from My Creative Time and layered the turkey onto that. The banner and sentiment is created with the Gobble Gobble stamp/die set as well. I finished with a clothespin and cute little bow using ribbon from my sweet friend Karen.

The sentiment is Jaded Blossom Supersized Thank You and stamped onto a Scallop Rectangle Dies 1. The sweet pumpkin is Jaded Blossom Fall Dies and the face is stamped with PK692 Monster Mash face asst set. I added a bow with Trendy Twines Spiced Pumpkin to finish it off. The candies are created with Candy Wrap Dies using the same papers to coordinate with the scarecrow box.

Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion 

Hello my crafty friends~
I had a wonderful time last weekend at the scrap retreat. I was able to knock out a few projects for Christmas I needed to get done along with some Christmas cards. Of course, I could have got a bit more done had I not goofed off some...hehe,  but how can you not with this group of ladies, lol! A lot of laughing going on at times...it sure is good for the soul! I had a blast with these girls :)

I have a couple quick Thanksgiving cards to share today. I used some fun stamps and dies from
 Jaded Blossom. I also picked up a new die from Scrapy Land recently and worked it into this card design as well.

I started with papers from scrap pile which seems to be forever growing, lol! This card was perfect for that. The little border along the bottom is created with Jaded Blossoms Border Dies 2 die and the two smaller pumpkins and cute sign are Jaded Blossoms Fall Dies. The larger pumpkin is the Patterned Pumpkin die I recently picked up from Scrapy Land. I stamped the fun little sentiment onto the sign with the Harvest Sign stamp set, also from Jaded Blossom.

The pumpkin faces are stamped with PK-560 Dolly Dumplins Face asst. I stamped the Happy Thanksgiving with Jaded Blossoms Happy Hello and Happy Hello (add on) stamp set. The ribbon was from my stash and finished with little skittles from Doubleclick.

Also, be sure to stop back Thursday for my final post for Seize the Birthday as Surprise Guest Designer~

Hello friend

Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion

Hi Everyone~

I hope you are having a great day! It has been so nice here...sunny and in the mid 60's! I can't believe how warm it's been for November.  I'm not complaining ....but wow! To celebrate, I decided to share a fun, bright and sunny card today!  I had some time in my craft room and couldn't wait to play in some fun challenges going on:
So, here is what I have for you today~
 I am sharing a fun, shabby chic, mixed media card that was a little outside my box~ I had fun playing around with some inks, paints and texture paste and really love my end result! Yup, I will definitely be using more of this product and getting messy again, lol!

I have a few panels that I cut and layered on my base.  I created the next few layers doing a water colored background with Tim Holtz Peeled Paint, Spiced Marmalade and Victorian Velvet distressed inks, water and acrylic white paint. I then used Tim Holtz Splatters stencil and the Burlap Layering stencils along with texture paste to create a textured background.

Tucked beneath the frame which is created with Spellbinders Card Creator 5x7 Reflective Moment die is Memory Box Chloe Stems and cheesecloth.  After cutting the frame out, I applied a layer of gesso, let that dry and then added a few coats of crackle paint. Once that was dry, I added some distressed ink..super fun and love the effect!

The "hello" is My Creative Time~Fun Notes stamp/die set. The hello was cut out of foam and then card stock two times for dimension. The butterflies are My Creative Time~Pretty Butterflies & Dragonfly dies, embossed with white shabby embossing enamel. I fussy cut the small banner and stamped "friend" using the same stamp set. The daffodil ribbon is from 3 Girl Jam. The green jute string and flowers are from my stash and the leaves are My Creative Time~Stitched Leaves die. I then took a mixture of acrylic white paint and water, mixed that together and with the Tim Holtz Splatter Brush, created splatter effects to finish my card.

I am entering this in the following challenges:
Frilly and Funkie Challenge-What a Mesh ( used cheesecloth)
2.) Little Scrap Pieces Show it Off Saturday
3.) Jo's Scrap Shack Challenge #163 Anything Goes

Here is my project for the challenge:
For today, I created a pretty birthday card for a friend of mine who has a birthday coming up. I started with some pretty silver shiny paper for my base. The base layer is spritzed with Story Night Glimmer Mist which my sweet friend, Shelly sent me and I love it!
Such a pretty, shimmery color.

On the background, I used the metallic silver embossing paste through a Simon Says stencil called Balloon & Patterns Stencils. The gorgeous butterflies are from a Heidi Swapp stencil which I again used the embossing paste for some fun texture. After the butterflies dried, I fussy cut out and added  gems to the center.

The middle panel is layered in place.  I tied Aqua Blue crinkle ribbon which I won from my friend, Diana at DL.ART a while ago in a challenge. It matches perfectly...I love it!  The sentiment is Jaded Blossoms Party Animal stamp set.
