Guest Designer Cindy Liebel - Thank You Cards

This month Cindy Liebel is Making Memories' guest blogger. She has created a series of projects for Thanksgiving. The idea behind these projects, is that you can give them away to people you are thankful for. Today Cindy is showing us "thank you cards" that were created using the Slice Cordless Digital Designer.

 

All threes cards are approximately 4 1/2" x 4 1/2". To create them, trim the pattern paper to size, leaving a cardstock border. 

Card 1 how-to (left card): Cut various cloud shapes from the Just Chillin' Design Card. Pop-dot the clouds in various sizes. Cut out "you" (from Basic Elements Design Card) and  adhere. Adhere a felt flower to replace the letter "o" for fun.

Card 2 how-to (middle card): Cut out leaves using, Calendar Design Card, in three different sizes 4", 3 1/2" and 3". Layer leaves with pop-dots and add embellishments and glitter.

Card 3 how-to (right card):

Cut out "thanks" (from Words & Expressions Design Card), add shimmer, and set aside to dry. Create background of card using pattern paper, ribbon, and circle elements. Once "thanks" is dry, pop-dot it to card.

What I am Thankful For - Wilna

To me, November is a month of reflection. As they year draws to a close I often think about what I have experienced and gone through over the past ten months. Each year there are always ups and downs but regardless there are lots of things to be thankful for.

 

I asked Making Memories’ design team to share some things that they are thankful for. Every Wednesday in November I will share their thoughts with you.

I am really really thankful for my husband Jaco. Not only is he my best friend in the whole world, but also my source of wisdom and inspiration! For this project, I used Making Memories' Slice Cordless Designer. I used the Think Pink Design Card to make the leaves, the Basic Elements Design Card for the hearts and the Studio essentials Design Card for the "thankful". Additionally I used I used the Making Memories Mistletoe collection for all the patterned papers, Just Chillin paper for the brown background, and Making Memories Vintage Findings to add some details.

 

We should all exercise ourselves to be more grateful. This is a wonderful time to remind us. Much love.

What are you thankful for?

The Scrapbook Oasis in Irvine, California

A few weekends ago Rebecca Gawryl had an event in Irvine, California at The Scrapbook Oasis. She taught a class using Making Memories' Slice Cordless Digital Designer. This was a layout class where they made a 12" x 12" layout and six cards. Rebecca surprised her class with Slice aprons and a free PINK SLICE. They had a great time so I wanted to post the pictures she shared with me.
