Happy Thanksgiving!!!

 I am interrupting the Convention cards to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you are with friends and family today celebrating and filling up on good food.  I thought I would share a card with fall colors today.

The For All Things leaf was stamped in Crushed Curry on Whisper White cardstock.  I also stamped it onto a scrap piece of paper in black and scanned it into my Brother Scan 'N Cut to get the outline of the leaf.  I then placed pieces of the Color Me Autumn Designer Series Paper in the cutter and cut them out in the same shape. 

Here is the inside of my card.  I love Baker's Twine because it is thin enough to go inside your cards and give them a finishing touch.

Stampin' Up! Convention Cards, Group 9 - Card 2

I really like this Level 2 card.  It has just the right about of bling with the Washi tape and a little dimension with the hearts.  Super cute!

Stampin' Up! Convention Cards, Group 9 - Card 1

I received the stamp set Work of Art when Stampin' Up! demonstrators were invited to an unveiling of the annual catalog at a movie theater.  It was the first time they had done this and it was a lot of fun.  It was streaming live from Southern California.  I didn't think I would like the set much but, just like Gorgeous Grunge, I find it a "must have" for jazzing up your cards.

Stampin' Up! Convention Cards, Group 8 - Card 3

Adding the Scalloped Tag Top punch to this card gave it a completely different look.  I don't think it looks like a masculine card anymore with the tag top and the crochet trim together.  What do you think?
