Thanksgiving Minis - Part 8

Today we have 3 more Mini Thanksgiving Cards.  These ones all make use of outline stickers - most of them Dazzles brand from HOTP.  The focal sticker on this first card is not from HOTP, but I'm not sure where I got it.  It was stuck on a piece of brown patterned paper and then fussy cut around it.  It is matted on a die cut piece of brown patterned paper (die from Spellbinders Persian Motifs & Accents).  There's a ribbon with leaves that forms the "ground" the turkey is walking on, and Tiny Words & Phrases Dazzles were used for the greeting at the top (colored with a Sharpie).

Next up is another one with a tag (downloaded freebie from HOTP) on which I stamped a greeting (Melissa Francis Holiday Greetings) and added a couple of Dazzles (Autumn Scrapbooking).  I added a border with brown Dazzles (63 thin line border).

For the background of this third card, I took a piece of patterned paper (DCWV Mat Stack) cut to size & inked around the edges. The focal is simply a Dazzles Sticker (Autumn Scrapbooking from HOTP).

For most of these minis, I just used a plain color for the background, but for this one I chose this striped paper to add more colors and interest.  The paper was from a DCWV Mat Stack.  The focal is a combination of elements: a gold embossed leaf I picked up from somewhere, a decorative die cut I got using a die my sister-in-law owns, and a metallic embossed tag that I fussy cut out.  I stamped a greeting on this using a stamp from JustRite's Antique Autumn Tags One.  The card was outlined with a black mini-border from HOTP's Dazzles - 63 Thin Line Borders - in black this time.

One of the fun things about Mini cards is finding unusual bits in your stash to decorate them with.  Today's cards were made using some Thanksgiving confetti that I picked up somewhere!  This first card shows all the elements this particular confetti had in it - a turkey, leaves in a couple of different colors, and the words "Happy Thanksgiving.  After arranging the confetti and gluing it in place, the only additional thing I did was take a Sharpie and highlight the words in black so they were more visible.

As you can see, this card combines a turkey from the confetti with a tag (freebie download from HOTP) that I stamped a greeting on.  The stamp came from my Melissa Francis Holiday Greetings set.

Today I have another mini card with a purchased die cut focal and outline sticker greetings.  For this card the die cut is centered on a die-cut mat (Spellbinders Persian Accents & Motifs).  The mat is two pieces - the actual die cut is cut from copper colored paper, while the black mat was traced from the outer edge and fussy cut by hand.  The purchased die cut is added with foam tape so it stands out even more.
