wishing everyone....

I have a lot that I am thankful for this year--good health, family, friends. :-) I also appreciate those of you who stop by here, and so for this occasion I have a few cards that I'd like to share.



This card was made using the Cuttlebug Pumpkin Harvest A2 embossing folder and offset Cuttling. I accented the embossing with Memento London Fog after the first pass and then used Bamboo Leaves and Potter's Clay after the second pass. The sentiment was made using two Cuttlebug die cuts glued on top of each other and slightly offset, too.



I also used offset Cuttling to make this card. The effect is more subtle. I really just love the look of embossing on shimmery paper or cardstock. It can be very elegant. This is the Autumn Type Cuttlebug folder for the main image and a border embossing folder for the embellishment along the side.


For this last card I used another of my offset Cuttling experiments with the Autumn Type folder. The leaf is a lightweight fabric leaf that came in a package of leaves on clearance at Michael's. I sprayed it with Stiffy Spray to give it a little more heft then ran it through my Big Shot inside the Mesh Cuttlebug folder to give it added texture. The pumpkin is a Cuttlebug combo die, Pumpkin Spice. I cut it out twice and layered it, but only embossed the copper layer since the green layer wouldn't really be seen. I also added texture to the leaf of the pumpkin as I embossed using textured Cuttling.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

  1. Gorgeous!! I have the pumpkin folder that you used for the first card and love it. While we don't celebrate thanksgiving or hallow'een over here, I still love pumpkins and hallow'een images. Your cards are terrific.
    If you pop over to Libby's blog (http://libbysscrapz.blogspot.com/ )you can see she has been playing with your offset cuttling technique with great results!

You work so hard to help others with your tutorials that although I know you are a busy lady, and have, I'm sure been given many awards, but I wanted to pass one on to you so others become aware of your great blog and crafting skills.
