Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for Hosting Card!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  I hope your day is filled with happiness, friends and family.  There is so much to be thankful for!  I am thankful for my wonderful hubby and my family!  Here are a couple pumpkin shaped cards I made for the hosts of our thanksgiving day dinners. 

I used my Cricut and a pumpkin cut that I believe I got at freesvgs.blogspot.com.  I turned the pumkin shape into a card using Sure Cuts A Lot.  The thanks and flourish stamps are from Stampin' Up!.  I used the flourish stamp to emboss a texture on the leaves.  You can see close-ups of the embossing below!



I am entering these cards into the following challenges:
Simply Sunday Challenge at Getting Cricky - Give Thanks

    I love these pumpkin cards! The layers and papers are great,and I love the little tags off of the leaves tied with the twine. The leaf stamping is pretty too!
    Thanks so much for playing along in our "Texture" challenge at Whimsical Designs this week!
