Autumn Thanksgiving Cards

Happy Thanksgiving.  I'm here to share some Thanksgiving wishes.  

My cards are adorned with fabulous chipboard designs from Creative Embellishments.  

The two cards presented today feature a few of the unique and fabulous autumn chipboard shapes designed by Creative Embellishments.  So many options in design - such a fun decision to make.  I selected the following chipboard to showcase:

Acorn Clusters

Cornucopia Set 2

I treated the chipboard Acorn Clusters quite simply.  The Acorn Clusters have  been heat embossed by dabbing  Clear Embossing Ink onto the chipboard and then coating with  Stampendous - Frantage Aged Gold Embossing Enamel  or  Fine Antique Gold Embossing Powder .  A quick blast with a heat gun to heat set and you have gorgeous aged acorns and leaves.

The aged gold also looks great with my paper choice, The Story of Fall from Echo Park.    

Top the card with some robust flowers and raffia, and it's all wrapped up.  I love raffia for fall/Autumn pieces.  It feels so earthy and warm to me. 

My second card showcases one of Creative Embellishments coolest Thanksgiving designs - Cornucopia Set 2. And the little veggies/fruits....well they are so darling.  

The cornucopia is a strong symbol of abundance - and at Thanksgiving time, it symbolizes the abundance of goodness, thankfulness and blessings.  

My chipboard has been painted with acrylics and then enhanced with dabbs of Stickles Glitter Glue - Sprinkled Sugar.

Have you started getting your Christmas card list together? 

I'm  here today to share my card for the holiday season featuring an older collection from Maja Design while I wait to receive the new Christmas collection  "Christmas Season ".

Below is a preview of the gorgeous new collection, "Christmas Season"

 Christmas Shopping

Festive Season

I love the rich warm colors of this vintage collection.  It's truly looks like pages from Christmas past. 

I used some chipboard embellishments from Creative Embellishments. 

Flourish Presents

Poinsettia Set

I treated the chipboard quite simply.  The Flourish Presents have  been heat embossed by dabbing  Clear Embossing Ink onto the chipboard and then coating with  Stampendous - Frantage Aged Gold Embossing Enamel  or  Fine Antique Gold Embossing Powder .  A quick blast with a heat gun to heat set and you have gorgeous aged filigree gifts.  

The Poinsettia Set flowers have been painted gold first, ( I used Prima Finnabair Art Alchemy - Acrylic Paint - Metallique Ancient Coin ).  Then I painted a coating of  Prima Color Bloom Spray Mist - Boysenberry  over the gold. 

Finish the card with some holiday gems and it's starting to look like Christmas. 

May your Christmas Season be joyful and filled with wonderful crafty love. 

Thanks for stopping here today.

Snow Globe Shaker Card?  

Snow globes are so popular, so I thought I'd use the beautiful globe design that comes in the Deer Santa die cut shapes ( card kit of the month extras)  and make a dimensional card.  

I decided to take the card design a little further and make a shaker card using the packaging from the stickers as the acrylic cover on the card.  I adore shaker cards and this little snow globe diecut shape is just begging to be turned into a winter shaken blizzard. 

Turn Your Card into a Shaker for an Extra Twist
