Happy Thanksgiving from Creative Impressions!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!   We are very grateful for all of our loyal customers, so, in  honor of this special holiday, Susan has created three cards for you. 

I absolutely love creating with our My Sentiments Exactly stamps and our Felt Shapes (63100 Autumn Leaves and pumpkin in 63110 Halloween)  They make creating beautiful cards fun and easy!  The first card features our MSE stamp J359,  which is an Innie and Outie so that you have two sentiments - one for the front and one for the inside of the card.

For the next I used the MSE stamp Z321, an oval die cut I was saving,  the Autumn Leaves Felt Shapes and our Thin Twine in Natural (80604).  I used an embossing folder on a slightly smaller piece of ivory card which creates the background.

Finally, I used our MSE stamp V166,  colored with markers, our Autumn Leaves Printed Ribbon (80118), two Felt Leaves from our Autumn Leaves Felt Shapes, a Pumpkin from our Halloween Felt Shapes and finally a bow created with our Natural thin twine.

Whether or not we can be with family this year due to Covid, we wish you a peaceful and Happy Thanksgiving.  We have so much to be grateful for.

Susan

 

Mixed Media Thankful

Thankful!  A timeless message for us all.  

This mixed media card features a web ribbon background and a layered cotton fabric & ribbon.

The Antique Copper leaf is raised just a little inside the Antique Copper frame.  Pierce a thick piece of material (like chipboard; I used grunge board here) with an awl and then line up a hole punch and punch a circle.  Feed the leaf brad into the little circle to create a spacer.  A bit of cheesecloth helps fill the area in the frame.

When sewing the green resin buttons on the twill ribbon, I put a touch of glue behind the buttons so that the holes would stay level and stable.  The buttons are tied with a bit of Natural Thin Twine. 

I love these Creative Impressions buttons!  The colors are rich and the finish is matte resin.  You can ink them, stain them, even stamp on them!

Hope you like the card and I'm thankful you stopped by!
