Grand Vacation Achievers Blog Hop - Remember To Give Thanks
Picture
Welcome to the Grand Vacation Achievers Blog Hop for September.
The theme for the hop this month is Remember to Give Thanks.

You may be starting here or you may have hopped here from the previous blog on the list. Please be sure to click the person after me in the list at the bottom of this post to move along the blog hop. If you get off track at any time, the full line up below will help you move along from blog to blog :)

I was looking through some old cards last week and found a card using a technique I haven't used in a while - making your own embossed background. Since the introduction of embossing folders I seem to do this less and less :( But, it's an awesome way to customise your own background. I wanted to keep this card clean and simple but give it a little pop somehow and embossing some leaves on it to match the framelit I used to for the sentiment seemed a great way to do that.

I then used the same technique on the Square Pillow Box thinlit and instead of making the box square - I doubled it in size. This time I used the de-bossed side of the card stock.

Whilst I had the bow punch out I remembered I wanted to try to make a mini turkey as a place card holder. When Stamping' Up! brought out the Gift Bow Die I made this Turkey Treat (click HERE) then we got the Bow Punch - perfect for a mini turkey! I followed the tutorial (HERE) but used the Bow Punch and Circle Punches instead of the Bow Die and circle framelits.
