We Create November Blog Hop Gratitude & Gatherings

When I think of the month of November, I think of it being the month of gratitude and giving thanks for the blessings in my life. So, this month's We Create Blog Hop theme was perfect for creating cards to share with the people in my life that I am thankful for. Our Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas with this month's theme of Gratitude & Gatherings to help inspire you to get creative and share them with the people you care about.

One of my favorite things about the All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper, are the beautiful photo realistic background designs that make perfect card fronts for clean and simple cards. I chose one of these designs for my card today and chose to let this beautiful background be the star of the show. I added a sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set and heat embossed the image with Gold embossing powder to help step up the design. I would like to think that whoever receives this beautiful card, will feel the love being sent in this paper hug and hopefully display it where they can be reminded each day that someone appreciates them.

This beautiful card design is simple to create and with the wonderful designs in the All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper, you can create a variety of cards suitable for a variety of occasions. I chose to use colors that coordinate with the designer series paper, including Copper Clay cardstock for the card base and Early Espresso for the matte layer and sentiment. The Gold embossing for the sentiment and Gold Festive Pearls help to step up this card design to make it extra special. I also added a piece of Copper Clay Textured Ribbon underneath the sentiment to add some texture to the design. This lovely design would also be perfect for a Fall birthday and works well as a masculine card design.
