Give Thanks

I didn't think I'd be creating any more Fall/Thanksgiving cards because I've been in the Christmas mode lately.  But I couldn't pass up on a few challenges that I wanted to try out.   Moxie Fab was one.  It called for using canvas, cork and or burlap.   The key word here is Burlap.  If you've been following my blog, you know how much I love playing with burlap!

So I combined the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, the colors from Just Us Girls and the call for cork and burlap for Moxie Fab!  Here is what I came up with!  A simple card to Give Thanks.


I used Kraft paper for my card base along with a piece of B&T paper from the Flirty Paper Pack (X7160B).  The leaves are from the Flirty Compliments Dimensional Elements (X7160C).   I tied some Olive Bakers Twine from the Baker's Twine Harvest Assortment (Z1751) around my piece of Burlap.  I cut the Burlap lengthwise to make is more narrow and pulled some strands to fray the edges.  I used the Color Ready Cork Alphabet (Z1450) for my sentiment.  Oh! I had to add a little sparkle (Z1752) to one of the leafs.  Everything needs a little bling.

All products are Close To My Heart.

Here are my inspirations from Freshly Made Sketches and Just Us Girls:

I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
