Stampin' Up! Thankful Crafty Cupcakes Team Blog Hop


Welcome to the Crafty Cupcakes Team Stampin' Up! Blog Hop for November 2017.
 Each month members of the Team take part in our Team Blog Hop to share with you our cards and projects made using the fabulous Stampin' Up! products. 

You are currently visiting Jenny Dowding in UK and below you will see the full list of everyone taking part. To move to the next blog just click the name after mine in the list.

This month our theme is "Thankful" and as we have just had Remembrance Day in UK, I felt that I had to made a Remembrance card.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.


Making the card

For the card I have used Wild Wasabi and Very Vanilla cardstock and water coloured with Real Red and Wild Wasabi ink and my Aquapainter. I used Birthday Blooms, Thankful Thoughts and the small T in the Back to Basics stamp set for the Crosses. I cut out the matts for the front using the Layering Squares Framelits dies and added an edge of the Vintage Crochet Trim.

I felt quite sad and emotional when making this card, as I feel that we should not just say "Thank You" on Remembrance Day, but should always have the sacrifice of those Servicemen of yesteryear and today in our hearts. 




Thank you once again for visiting my blog and taking part in our blog hop, there are so many amazing ideas and inspiration you don't want to miss so make sure you carry on hopping through the list. Remember that currently you are at my blog - Jenny Dowding so check the blog hop lineup list to see who is next.
