So thankful card with bright yellow papers for HIMCR 379 challenge

So thankful card in sunny yellow...such a refreshing look after lots of gray overcast days with chilly 20-30 degree temps!

Isn't that fox such a darling addition to the card?!!! I can just imagine a young kit jumping around in a pile of leaves, batting or kicking out small pumpkins and gourds in someone's garden, and having a 'heyday' frolicking!

This card is being linked to HIMCR's #379 challenge theme "Thank You Card". I was on their design team for about 8 months and love to come back to it periodically as a participant. I've been trying to spend more crafting time visiting other challenge blog sites, do more scrapbooking, and making Bible art journal entries into my Bible purchased for that purpose. Here's the link for the #379 post:

This photo is showing about 1/3 of my November kit made for the CKC blog this month. It's not saying Autumn but I'm making it work--like with this wonderful mug digital image from Stamplorations! Color-wise I wanted to have lots of the traditional Autumn/Thanksgiving hues but to work in the dominant colors of the CKC inspiration kit for this month, I've had to add in lots of blues, purples, and pink tones:

This sunny yellow is part of a trio I made during the same crafting session. Most of the patterned papers were interchanged. They have the same 2 stamps, stick-ons, and those gorgeous pumpkin and leaves scenery mugs.

So thankful card with bright colors for HIMCR 379 challenge

So thankful...in bright colors

Card #1 of 3 made with interchangeable elements and layouts

Each card has the same muted lavender cardstock that is about the size of an ATC. They each have puffy fox and leaf stick-ons. They each have some patterned papers that have been swapped around. 2 of the 3 have the same decorative tape. All three have the same stamps used "so thankful" and "May the bounty of the season fill your heart and home." And the digital mug image is same just colored differently for each one. Overall dimension is 4" wide x 6" tall.

Also, shout outs/credits to CKC blog for this month's copy cat kit that I made and which the cards' papers and stickers were a part of. And to Stamplorations for the freebie digital mug image filled with a gorgeous pumpkin and leaves scene!!! Love freebies!!!

I just love how these card turned out, especially this bold vibrant purple base with rainbow striped border tape and background patterned paper!!!! My nieces and nephews would probably say this looks like an Aunt Becca card!!!

21 Nov 2018 CKC blog challenge mini kit to make 3 Thanksgiving cards

So thankful

3 Thanksgiving cards made with same 2 stamps, fox and leaf stick-ons, and mug image but different  papers and coloration of mug images.

I'm specifying the mini kit part of the November kit challenges at CKC blog because I've interchanged the elements for these 3 cards and I still have pieces ready to make 2 or 3 more cards tomorrow. Up above I'm showing part of my kit that about 4 patterned papers came from plus the sheet of digital image replicated 9 times at wallet size and then colored 3 different ways (go by columns). Even the puffy fox stick-ons are seen in the corner of the photo.

If you've seen my previous November blog posts showing the original kit to copy cat, you will remember that for the USA Midwest northern hemisphere November weather and traditional colors for autumn and Thanksgiving I've had to be very creative to make this all work to use my kit for Thanksgiving cards. In my mug coloring, I've had to include lots of values of purple/violet and pink to work with my selected papers to support copy cat endeavors.

Since I've made lots of posts about my November kit and how I've used it thus far, I'm keeping all 3 cards together to be featured in this posting.
