Hello! Today I want to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving! I have created some fun Thanksgiving (as well as holiday cards) to share.
All these cards (and signs) have one thing in common: FOIL! I’m sharing how to make all these cards using vellum or acetate AND Foil on the latest Foiling Friday at Maker Forte.
Watch the video below:
I LOVED creating these cards, including shaker cards using a full sheet of acetate! That penguin card might be my favorite…but I did make many mistakes on that card. I share HOW to fix them and create a fun look.
I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible.

Welcome to the Blossoming Creativity Blog Hop with Altenew and talented designers! I am so excited to be a part of this hop. I will be sharing several projects from the latest release HERE, so let’s get started!
1) Radial Circles Die
I absolutely fell in love with the new cover plate die called Radial Circles Die. It is so beautiful and you can use it with so many Altenew sets! Today I used the new Rose Buds Layering stencil and die set, which is GORGEOUS!! Look at those beautiful roses and I just used a stencil! Wow, just wow!
Those roses are amazing! Here I used two of them together to create a little swag for my card. The thanks sentiment die is THIS ONE.
2. We’ve Got Chemistry
Next I have the new Chemistry Vases with stencil and die set. This is such a fun set with lots of great sentiments for that science geek! I love it with the Concentric Circles embossing folder in the background.
I started with some Neenah Desert Storm cardstock for this background and inked on some darker browns around the edges. Then I used THIS embossing folder. Such a neat look!
The Chemistry Vases set is so fun, with a couple choices of images and stamps to use along with them. How fun is that birthday sentiment?!
This is a very unique and fun set and I know I’ll get many, many fun cards with it.
3. Botanical Illustrations
The new Botanical Illustrations is a gorgeous floral set with layering stamps and a stencil option. I love options! Here I also used THIS beautiful embossing folder and then spritzed it with ink spray for a fun background.
I know, I know..those flowers are really beautiful, aren’t they?!
4. Bonus card
Since I had some of the leaves and an extra embossed background, I created a simple card with them. Sometimes simple is just what you need!
I love all the sentiments in this Kindness stamp set. And I might be falling in love with kraft backgrounds again! That embossing folder is this one HERE.

Hello! Today I have a quick holiday card to share with you. I’m using the new Ice Bouquet stamp set from Maker Forte. It’s such a beautiful image!
For this card, I stamped the image and colored it with Copic markers. Then I used the Candy Cane stripe stencil to ink on some light inks in red and green. I did not mask the image off, but I was careful to not ink over the image.
I added some Stardust Stickles (my favorite!) over the ice skate for some glittery shine. Then I finished it off with some iridescent sequins.

I have 3 different card ideas for this set (and that’s not all there is to do with this set), but I do hope this inspires you!
1. Front Flap Card
This first card is so fun…it has a front flap for your gift card AND you can open the card to write a sentiment too!
2. Fall Shaker Card
This is an easy way to make a shaker! I absolutely adore the Sparkle Mixes from Heffy Doodle: not only do they have sequins, but they also have GEMS!
3. Holiday Shaped Card
This hot cocoa cup makes the cutest shaped card! It’s so easy when you follow my trick I share in the video. And YES, that is corrugated cardboard I die cut for the holder!
There’s still plenty of room to add a gift card inside!

Hello! Today I’m excited to be sharing one of my favorite penguin cards I’ve ever made! I do love penguins and especially penguins that make me smile, and this set from Miss Ink Stamps is a favorite.
How cute are these penguins?!? I love them..and there are quite a few more penguin images in the stamp set, too. Today I chose 2 penguins and the snowbank for this card.
I started out by stenciling those trees using the treeline stencil. I used a variety of Distress Oxide inks: Tumbled Glass, Uncharted Mariner, Pine Needles, Peeled Paint, and Twisted Citron.
Next, I added some Grit Paste Snowfall and then added some extra glitter while it was still wet. I love a good glitter background!
While that was drying, I colored up those penguins and the snowbank. I embossed the sentiment in white and inked on some Uncharted Mariner ink for a “matching” sentiment.
When the background was dry, I put it all together with foam tape. I also added some glitter paper to the bottom of the panel for extra shine!
