Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Here's a card and little box of tea lights I'm bringing to the in-laws today. I packed the box away before I added a pic of the inside, trust me, that's cute too! I think they'd qualify for the SUO Challenge #6 of Thanksgiving Table Art here.
I found the tutorial for this cute little box that holds 4 decorated tea lights on Jill Hillard's awesome blog here.
Both the card and box were made with the Autumn Spice DSP. The card has Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla and More Mustard card stock too. The box has Early Espresso and the bottom base. I used the Day of Gratitude stamp set for both too. The oval Coluzzle was used for the card and the 1 1/4 inch Circle punch for the box. Finally, both use 1/8 inch Early Espresso taffeta ribbon.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Day of Gratitude
Papers: Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Autumn Spice Specialty DSP
Inks: Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, More Mustard and Old Olive Stampin write markers
Accessories: 1 1/4 inch circle punch, Coluzzle oval cutter, 1/8 inch Early Espresso taffeta

FTL106 More Autumn Spice

Since I had the Day of Gratitude stamp set and coordinating Autumn Spice Specialty DSP already on my desk for my last card, I figured I'd use them again and show you how many different looks you can create!
This one if for the FTL106 here at Clean and Simple Stamping.
The base of the card is Cajun Craze and I rounded the bottom corners with the Corner rounder punch. I added some DSP and also rounded the corners. I colored in the big leaf with the Early Espresso and More Mustard Stampin write markers. I stamped the other image on Very Vanilla with Early Espresso. I punched that out with the 1 1/4 inch circle punch and layered it onto a Espresso piece punched with the 1 3/8 inch circle punch. The sentiment is from Thank You Kindly and I colored that with my Cajun Craze Stampin write marker, stamped it onto More Mustard and punched it out with the Word Window punch. A piece of Cajun Craze was punched with the Modern Label punch. Finally, I popped up both leaf images with Stampin dimensionals.
