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 Leaves. All 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!
This is a graphic of Give Thanks Nested Frames by JustRite. It sells for $14.95. The new Clear Rectangle Stampers to use with it are $23.95. If you haven’t tried the new Clear Stampers yet, you’ll love them!!
All items used are available at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.
