Woo Hoo... it's Friday! What is on your schedule for the weekend? I'm going to be stamping with Kristine and Amy and their friends tomorrow, November 9th, at 1 pm. If you're free and would like to join us, just send me a quick email and I'll be sure to have enough paper cut for you!
I know I've been concentrating on Christmas lately, but today I want to take a break from that and show you a Thanksgiving card. I know I wrote an earlier post about sending Thanksgiving cards. I think most people would be surprised and delighted to receive a Thanksgiving card. I know I would! Why not make a few for the most special friends and family?
Here it is in all its leafy, fall-colored glory...
I stared out with a card base of Very Vanilla. On top of that is a panel of Baked Brown Sugar. Next is the leafy layer. It measures 3 1/2 by 4 3/4, which is smaller than usual, but I wanted more of the Baked Brown Sugar panel to show. I stamped the leaves with the Gently Falling stamp set (page 65 of the annual catalog), in Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Baked Brown Sugar, and Crushed Curry. Then I stamped over the leaves with the Woodgrain background stamp ( page 75) in Crumb Cake. I cut a Window Frame in Baked Brown Sugar with the Window Frames Collection framelits, and adhered it over a flagged piece of the new 1 1/4 inch Burlap Ribbon ( page 18 of the holiday catalog). Last, I stamped the sentiment in Pumpkin Pie, using the Tags 4 You stamp set on page 37 of the holiday catalog. I punched it out with the Label Bracket Punch, also on page 37 and popped it up on dimensionals. I love how this turned out... simple and full of fall flavor! Best of all, it is fairly flat so mailing it to surprise far-away friends and family on Thanksgiving won't be a problem... not a bump, lump, or pearl in sight!
Happy Friday to all!
Susan
