Christmas and Thanksgiving Cards

This is only my second attempt at heat embossing, but I was quite happy with my results. I'm sure with more practice, it'll get better. I got this idea from Split Coast Stampers
That is a great website for anyone who needs inspiration (like me!!)
Supplies:
Stamps: Baroque Motifs, Acrylic stamp from Wal-Mart
Ink: Versamark, Purely Pomengranate and Kiwi Kiss
Paper: Purely Pomengranate, Whisper White and Green
Other: Making Memories Eyelet, CM Tape Runner and Gold String, Marvy Heat Embosser, Glitter Pal Tray
Technique: Heat Embossing

This is a card that I made for my mother in law for Thanksgiving, but I liked it so much, I never gave it to her. This is an interpretation of one I saw on SCS.
I cased it and I can remember who originally made it, I would give her credit.
Supplies:
Stamps: Baroque Motifs (I love this stamp set!!)
Ink: Creamy Caramel
Paper: Creamy Caramel, More Mustard and Ruby Red
Other: Chocolate Chip Ribbon, Earth Elements Creamy Cocoa Button, Twine, Felt Leaf from Michaels, Silver SU! Brad
Technique: Tearing

This was a totally simple card!! Compared to the top two, this took about five minutes. The base is Chocolate Chip and the top is pumpkin pie!! Isn't this a great fall card? It reminds me of pumpkin pie, or maybe Sweet Potato.
Supplies:
Stamps: All Holidays
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Whisper White and Pumpkin Pie
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Other: Chocolate Chip ribbon, Glitter leaves from Michaels, CM Tape Runner.
