Faux Frame Technique Challenge

Happy Tuesday!

Welcome to my first post as an Honorary Crew Member with Technique Time Tuesday! 

I was very excited to work with these amazing talented group of ladies. I had a lot of fun making my project for this month's challenge...using the Faux Frame Technique.

Be sure to head over to Technique Time Tuesday Challenge Blog and check out the fabulous projects that were made to share with you today...

http://mynnettestechniquetuesday.blogspot.com/

For my project I made a fall themed card, first a applying my faux frame then stamping on my cute little scarecrow as well as adding some color to him. Once that was all done I attached the faux frame scarecrow to a fall colored base which was then added to a white card base. Then lastly I added some gemstones to the top and bottom corners for that little bling. 

Thank you for stopping by and visiting today!

The Krazy Crafting Crew is at it again with Gift Card Holders

Well, it's that time of the year for gift gifting... and for many families that begins with the Thanksgiving holiday if you're trying to fit in all the families on both sides and extended ones.. so we've put together a great hop today with plenty of ideas to make those gift cards look like a million bucks! 

I personally love gift cards... no hassle in returns, wrong sizes, etc. and with the ability to buy cards for even Visa and/or MasterCard, how could your gift even be considered to be re-gifted!

They will surely find something they want or need..

For hopping today, we have a gift for some lucky person. A $17.95 value Close To My Heart Merry and Bright Holiday Stamp set. You'll have a great little set to make your Holiday cards, gift tags, or other decor. A winner will be chosen by Nov. 6th so I can get this in the mail and off to the winner in plenty of time!

How to win? Comment on each blog and show our creative team some love please! If you're not a follower, you might want to be... this group does a hop every first Sunday so you won't want to miss what's in store! Be sure to leave a way to contact you as well!

Now let's get hopping! If you havent already, starting at Janet's Creative World is where it all begins and those awesome stamps are up for grabs!

For today's hop I did something a little different, actually a little different than I had first planned. The base of  my card holder is an envelope, which I have been meaning to make envelope gift card holders but just haven't gotten around to it until today, and it was so easy and quick.  Now, for the rest of my card you may or may not be surprised, but I designed the rest digitally on my scrapbooking program on my computer.  Some of you may know that I love to do a lot of projects digitally, so I thought why not go ahead and do a little digital on my gift card holder.  I used a piece of brown ribbon to tie the card closed.  Then lastly I stamped my blog info on the back of the card.

Thank you for stopping by and visiting my blog today, I hope that you have been inspired by the many gift card holders that we have shared with you today and are ready to make all of those gift card holders for the up coming holidays.  I know that I will be very busy making several gift card holders.

Now you off to the next stop on our blog hop, who I am sure has something amazing to share with you.
