Pathfinding with Freshly Made Sketches

Here is another card for my Open House Display!  I had so much fun making this card using the new Pathfinding Paper from Close To My Heart.  The sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches.  I used our new Woodgrain Embossing Folder and Chocolate cardstock to create this fun woodgrain look.  After running it through my cuttlebug, I took a sponge and Chocolate ink and rubbed the ink over the embossing lines.   This gave the wood a more defined look.


I used the Thankful Heart stamp for my sentiment, leaves and pumpkin.  I got to experiment more with our new ShinHan Touch Twin Markers.  I love these markers but I need to practice more on the blending and coloring but I was pretty happy with how the pumpkin and leaves turned out for a beginner.  They are really easy to use.   I placed one of the cork pieces with the heart on it from the Pathfinding Assortment pack over the "A" in Heart and added a few Gold Sequins for added embellishments to the card.


Freshly Made Sketch:

If you are local to me, you can see this card and more in person at my Open House on September 6! Stop by any time between 9am and 1pm!  I'll have lots to share and a FREE Make & Take!  Plus Door Prizes!! 
I'll be at Gateway Mechanical Office Building - 2722 Lascassas Pike - Murfreesboro, TN
Hope to see you there!

    This turned out so cute, Gina. I can't wait to get that stamp set, and woodgrain embossing folder. Not sure why I keep putting it off. LOL

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! 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
