Stripes, ribbons and faux buttons

These are coordinating and double sided CS - I think the company is Best Creation.  Both the stripes and flowers are glittery.    I used dies for the buttons - flatter to mail!   A narrow ribbon and shiny gold sticker strip complete the look.

Chalked Thanksgiving card

This Sizzix EF is great for Thanksgiving/fall cards.  I cut the embossed piece a bit to fit an A2 card.  Since I wanted to try coloring in more detail than I usually do, I decided not to add embellishments, and I stamped the JustRIte sentiment (in rust) directly on the main layer.   I sponged a number of different colors of chalk (SU)  - blues and browns for the sky and edges, various fall colors for the leaves, and of course orange for the pumpkins.

Thanksgiving Blessings

We are so blessed and need to express this every day!
 This image is from my wish RAK (Splitcoaststampers) echange stash - don't know the origin.  The ribbon is from Pizzazz Aplenty, DP is a gift, the black stripe is a Dazzles sticker.  The Thankful sticker (epoxy?) is also from my stash.  I used two of my go-to dies from Cheery Lynn - leaves from Leafy Border, and Blessings.

Kraft and blue

 

Blue is one of my favorites to go with kraft - works well for a fishing image!  I have lots of the "sky/water" dp - received as a gift.  I do not like to discard even small bits - the strip behind the leafy MS punch is the edge from a 12x12 piece of brown cs.  I thought maybe you could imagine that punch looks a bit like waves... The stamp is an old one from Embossing Arts.  This will be for a family member - lots of fishermen!
