Give Thanks Leafy Trio

Today I have a trio of simple cards to show you.  I made these for my boys to use as thank you notes, however they would also be great little note cards for the Thanksgiving season.  They were quick and easy and I LOVE the dimension and texture achieved by using the Prima leaves.

The designer paper is Apple Cider by Imaginisce, a pad of petite prints that I adore!  A perfect backdrop for my larger leaves.  And I also love the fresh, bright green in this pad — very refreshing!  All paper pads in stock can be seen here.

I’m loving my new Prima leaves.  All leaves on these cards are from a pack called October Autumn LeavesAll Prima flowers/leaves I have in stock can be seen on this post.

My leaves are adhered with SU Dimensionals and I tied on a little Burlap String and made a simple bow.  All ribbon/string I have in stock can be seen here.

My beautifully scripted Give Thanks sentiment is one of 3 sentiments included in a set by JustRite called Give Thanks Nested Frames (shown below).  It is made to be used with their new Clear Rectangle Stampers, making placement very easy!  I used the sentiment only from this set today in the simplest of ways.  It is stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink, my favorite ink for crisp, clear sentiments.  I carry the full line of JustRite Products.  They can be seen, along with the ink, here.  And if you don’t see a JustRite product you might be looking for, just ask, I have them all (unless I temporarily run out) and I do sometimes fall behind on getting graphics up and posted.

Just a close up of those leaves to show you the dimension and texture.  What a quick way to add a lot of WOW to a simple card!
