Here it is -- the last day of our Thanks blog hop.  My card today is another example of an interactive card I learned how to make in an on-line card class earlier this month.  It is called a Pull Tab Card.







Do you see that little acorn sticking out on the right side of the card?  When you pull that tab . . .



. . . the turkey on the left moves over to meet his friend. 

Images on  this card are from Autumn Splendor, I Am Thankful, and Tree Selections mini.

Continuing with examples of cards from my recent on-line card class, my card today is a gift card holder with a little twist.  The gift card is on the front of the card rather than on the inside.



That large dogwood blossom is held on with foam strips which help keep the gift card from falling through.  And when the recipient removes the gift card, she is still left with a pretty card.


The images on the card are from the MFP Stamp Shop set called Dogwood Blossoms.  The sentiment is from Big Boy Toys.

CCEE1643 - Follow the Recipe

For Joanne's last CCEE Stampers challenge this month, Joanne gave us a recipe to follow:

*     Circular and Square elements
*     Flower(s)
*     Dry embossing
*     Bling

I love the brown/blue color combination and thought it would work well with my Blue Bells die from Spellbinders.



Check out the CCEE Stampers blog for more cards made with this recipe.

My card for today is another sample of a card from the Wild Card on-line class I took earlier this month.  It is called an Explosion Card.  Here is the front of the card:


Don't you love that cute little scarecrow?  He is telling us to give thanks for all our blessings.  Now, open the card . . .


. . . and it explodes with lots and lots of gratitude! 

The image and sentiment on the front of the card are from the MFP Stamp Shop set called I Am Thankful.



The thankful sentiments on the inside are from a number of sets:  Classic Dad, Count Your Blessings mini, Dogwood Blossoms, Fall Apples, Honor and Glory, Hydrangea, Large Blooms, Roses, and Welcome Poppies.

I recently took an on-line card class entitled Wild Card.  The lessons included all kinds of interactive cards.  Each of my cards for this month's blog hop will be based on the lessons from that class.  The first one is called a Magic Slider Card.  At first glance it appears to be colored in just shades of black and gray. . .






. . . but, when you pull that striped tab on the right, this is what you see --



Images on  this card are from Christmas Cardinals, Fall Apples, and Huge Blooms.
