For my cards this week I used the Come to Gather designer paper from Stampin Up. I love the Pretty Peacock color of the stripes and the feathers. I added the feathers from the Tags and Feathers wooden accents. I thought the card needed a little something more when it was done, so I added the little bird. He's from an old set. I saw this idea on line from Karen Hallam. This card can be used all year long and makes a great masculine card.
For this card, I cut out a leaf from the Peacock gingham paper using an older leaf die. I added a smaller cut out from Seasonal Layers framelits to the inside. Then I put a small teal pumpkin along side the tag. The card base is Mint Macaron and the idea is from Mary Fish.
For this card featuring the Country Home stamp set, I added some embossing paste that I dyed orange to a cut out stencil that I made from a framelit. It's along the bottom of the card. It doesn't show up well in the photo, but it really adds some dimension to the card. Then I stamped the Birch background in Crumb Cake ink. I added the country milk can with the dried flowers and small pumpkin for embellishment. The dotted paper is from the Come to Gather collection.
I used an older pumpkin stamp to make this card. The papers are also from the Come to Gather paper set. I cut out the pumpkins and added a dimension to the Jack-o-lantern.
I love to send out Thanksgiving cards. By the time we get to Christmas, there are so many things to do that I enjoy the more relaxed holiday of Thanksgiving. And you don't even have to buy any presents.
