Always Give Thanks!


I absolutely LOVED Prima's Spring Farm House papers, and today's Stamp Simply card is using their equally gorgeous Autumn Sunset designer paper, which inspired this slightly unexpected Fall color scheme.  


Several layers of coordinating card stock help to bring out the subtle colors of the pumpkins and greenery in this lovely print. Graduated ovals create a window that allows the colors to peek through, with the sentiment stamped on a pumpkin-colored layer to herald Fall and the Thanksgiving theme.  (It's quite simple to align the ovals...just start with the widest die and the top-most paper, run it through the die cutter, then with that layer and the next layer aligned underneath, position the next smaller die, run it through, and continue working your way down.  The cut of upper layer helps hold the die in place to make the next pass.)


The ovals that were cut in the making of the window on the front of the card were used for the sentiment on the inside.

  1. Howdi!! Just found the instructions to prepare some wrappers for nail files . . . it looks so pretty! Me, too, I work a lot for my Church and these wrappers will be prepared for upcoming Charity Xmas Bazaar. God bless you!
