Thank You!!

Thanks to all those that checked out my partiticpating project for the "Anything But A Card" DeNami Blog Hop!! It was a blast making the project and hopping along to all those talented crafters out there! I had so much fun!

As part of my thanks, here is a look at my ThanXgiving card for this year. I used The Greeting Farm's Wild Sprout Summer for the main focal image, she is so cute and I thought she would be pefect for a thankful card. I added 2 DeNami pumpkins from the Mini set as her fall decor. I found some old ribbon and used that as it said "autumn" on it.

As a finishing touch, I used stickles on Summer and Glassy Effects on the pumpkins. I hope everyone has a Wonderful ThanXgiving!!!



PS. If you are wondering why I put the "X" in ThanXgiving- it is just my way as I love Marvel's X-Men and anytime I can use an X somewhere I will. :)

DeNami Anything But a Card Blog Hop!


Hi Everyone!! Wow what a FUN hop this is going to be as it was so much fun creating!! You should have hopped here from Laurie Willison's site, didn't she have an adorable project?? Now if you didn't start at the beginning make sure you get back to the DeNami blog.

So I was browsing through some websites and found this template for a paper mug. I thought it was so adorable that I thought I had to try it for this Blog Hop. The template is available here at Split Coast Stampers. So I used some older scrapbook paper that I had on hand for this project. I Cut out the pieces and assembled the cup. Then I Stamped 3 of the adorable puppy(E148) in stocking stamp on offwhite cardstock, colored them, then added liquid pearl to the whites of the stocking I ended the paper with the Curly Bulb (C47). I adhered that to some red vellum I had on hand and used the tacky tape to put it on the cup. I also used two different border punches for the green trip. By the way, I used tacky tape on all the pieces of the cup to make sure it stayed together. Then I thought about what to put in the cup. I got some red colored tea (English breakfast) to add inside then I decided to make some little tea bags. Inside they are attatched like the tea bag would be only when you pull out the string it is a mini notepad! Each one is stamped with a DeNami stamp on the pages. DeNami Stamps used: Puppy in Stocking E148, Sm Poinsettia B99, C47 Curly Bulb. I finished it off with a gold and red ribbon.
