Give Thanks Blog Hop Challenge

Our second day of blog hop challenges for October, and we have a new set from our other new illustrator, Chaitali! Are you ready to Give Thanks?

Our second release from new designer, Chaitali, will have you ready for all your fall cards. The simple clean and simple images, and sentiments will help you create gorgeous cards for fall.

Give Thanks is a 3x4 set that includes a total of 7 stamps and will sell for $9.00.

For my card, I combined the new set with ink and carstock from My Favorite Things in: Orange Fizz, Factory Green, and Hot Fudge. I used buttons in those colors as well, 

Would you like to win the new Give Thanks set? Here is what you need to do-visit the Trendsetter’s blogs that are participating in each of the blog hop challenges below and comment on their creations as you go. One of the Trendsetter’s blogs (from each hop day) will be randomly chosen as the ‘it’ blog and a winner will be picked using a random number generator from the comments left on that Trendsetter’s Blog Hop Challenge post. 

You will not know which blog has been chosen so the more you comment on the better your chances are of winning new stamps! The Blog Hop Challenges will be open until 5 PM Eastern Time Saturday, October 26th with the winner being announced during the release party chat.

Need a little help putting things together to make a fabulous card?? Or maybe you don’t have the time to design something yourself and want to just be able to put things together quickly! Well, we’ve taken out all the guess work for you and designed a Krafty Kardmaking Kit with everything you need to make SIX awesome cards AND have some goodies leftover to whip up some extras!

Check out everything you get in this month's kit:

- Six 6x6 cream cardstock bases (precut and prescored) featuring Bazzill cardstock

This card was created using only materials from the Krafty Kard Kit for October, and some Copics markers. I did use the MFT Let It Snowflake and the Little Open Scallop Strip Die-namics. I used the O Christmas Tree set.

What better to stamp then to play along with this week's There She Goes challenge.

This week our challenge is brought to us by Jenny! She is challenging YOU to make a card or project using the colors pumpkin, aqua, and chocolate!!

I used the SUPER fun new Halloween Tags set, which I cut out and colored with my Copics. I stamped it in Early Espresso ink, and the lightening was stamped with Tangerine Tango ink. I used Smooth White, Hot Fudge, Orange Fizz, and Berrylicious cardstock from MFT. My buttons are also from MFT: Berrylicious, Orange Fizz, and Sweet Tooth, and I used hemp cord tied through them. To finish I added some Sweet Tooth grosgrain, and a Spiderweb Die-namics in Hot Fudge from MFT.
