Service Project, Thumping Technique, SUO Challenge!

Thursday, October 6, 2011

I am so proud of us....today I am delivering 25 Thanksgiving cards that we created as a Service Project in class last week. These cards will be going to soliders overseas. Thank you to all who participated. And now for the details: We used the thumping technique on the project to get the variation of color in the leaf....you can read more about that HERE.

The card base is 41/4 by 11 cut the "hot dog" way. Then we used the Simply Scored Tool from the Holiday Mini catalog and scored it at 5 1/2 and 2 3/4. Fold the card in half and then fold the other panel back. I am in love with the new Simply Scored tool it makes nice crisp clean folds and is very easy to use! You can see the tool HERE.

Cardstock: Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Always Artichoke
Stamp Set: Autumn Splendor, Teeny Tiny Wishes (Happy Thanksgiving on the inside)
Accessories: Mustard Hemp (retired) and Chocolate Chip Cordury Buttons (from the clearance rack).

This card fit the profile for the SUO Challenge 29: Leaves as well so I entered it HERE. Have a wonderful week and check back tomorrow and the next day and the next day.....I've got a lot to share with you!

Pin It!

This is a perfect "demonstratable" card! It has the fun fold with layers of cardstock framing the leaf! Love how easy this one is. And I bet it is quick to make too! Love it!
