The more I use the Acorny Thank You set, the more I like it. I wanted to make a card for this week’s remix challenge at TGIF and also the Paper Players and this set was begging to be used.

Here’s the Paper Player’s banner

The idea of the remix challenge is to take at least two of the month’s challenges and combine them. Here are the two challenges that I chose:

This is the first time that I’ve used all these cool patterns from this set – I didn’t think that they were going to fit my style, but I’m really pleased with how this card came out. I’m also thrilled that the retired itty bitty framelits fit the thankful banner AND that my sister has them and is visiting. She has her own blog, by the way – check it out.

The acorns are stamped in old olive with their tops in Pumpkin Pie on very vanilla. I am beyond thankful for the punch that cuts these out. I stamped the thankful banner in rich razzleberry and then placed it so that the curve matched the curve on the acorn. Having all the parts punched out made it easier to work on placement – but I first glued the tops onto the acorns (snipping off the very vanilla stem first) so that there were less moving parts. The central acorn is popped up with dimensionals. I mounted my very vanilla piece onto rich razzleberry and lined the envelope to match using the retired backgrounds DSP in the same colour. I really must order the new replacement stack in brights – I have it in everything else.

See you tomorrow,
