Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: Quick & Easy Thanksgiving Place Cards Featuring Doodlebug!
Hello friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you! Thanksgiving is approaching fast, so I’m thinking about the Fall projects that I want to make. I’ve always loved making place cards for the Thanksgiving table, and this year I created a whole bunch of colorful name cards for some of my favorite people.
To make these adorable place cards I’ve combined many Pumpkin Spice products from Doodlebug! This collection is literally the cutest. I even cut out all the names for each person using our Simon and CZ Design exclusive, Everett Solid Alphas die set.
The best part about this project? Even if all your favorite people can’t be at your Thanksgiving table this year, you can still make them a name tag! I’m making one for many of my family and friends, and I will be mailing them to everyone along with some goodies so they can use them on their tables. It would be so cool to see pictures of your loved one’s tables with these cuties on them, don’t you think??
Want to see how easy these cutie-patootie name cards are to make?? Watch the video below for all the details!

A Creature Was Stirring Pop Up Christmas Card
Hi friends! I’m delighted to welcome special guest Kara Pogreba to our blog as a guest! She is one of the AWESOME designers on the Lawn Fawn team, and we are honored that she has made this gorgeous and festive card for us to share! Read on and enjoy!
The Lawn Fawn mice are busy in the kitchen baking up sweet treats for Christmas!
The kitchen scene was set with a stenciled subway tile backsplash using Lawn Fawn’s Let It Shine pattern paper, ink blended with Speckled Egg Distress Ink through Lawn Fawn’s Brick stencil. The marbled counter was created with shaving cream and a few drops of Distress Ink reinkers. The cabinets were constructed with Lawn Fawn’s Woodgrain Cardstock in white and Lawn Fawn’s Silver metallic cardstock for the handles.
All of the images were stamped in Lawn Fawn’s Jet Black ink and colored with Copic markers.
Once everything was baked, the mice went inside the card to finish decorating their cakes and cookies! Lawn Fawn’s Pop Up Be Merry sets the foundation for the scene.

Mixed Media with Shari Carroll: A Cup of Color
Welcome everyone and Happy Saturday! It’s Shari here with a mixed media canvas full of color inspired by my surroundings of fall.
I’ve created this canvas to include a variety of texture, a mixture of color, and a bit of shine!
The background starts with cut papers that are overlapped with crumpled tissue on top. After a coat of Distress Crackle paint, I’ve added Walnut Stain ink to get some dramatic effects.
The die-cut leaves were colored using Distress stains by dripping the stain directly on to moistened watercolor paper.
Finally, everything came together with a die-cut foil cup to hold all the colorful clippings.
