Eight Mini Slimline Cards for Thanksgiving


This year I really wanted to USE UP this older 6x6" paper pad by Lawn Fawn and today I'm sharing the final cards made with it. YAY and WHEW.  It always feels so good to use up a paper pad!

I went through my fall embellishments, and pulled out a baggie with these printed and fussy cut animal elements. I don't know where I got the file from originally as these were printed a long time ago. But since I will need five Thanksgiving cards for the grandkids, I decided to go ahead and just use up the paper and most of these elements. I'm happy with how they turned out.

The elements had been printed on glossy photo paper so they have some shine - and I punched a sprig from gold cardstock scraps on the outside and scraps of green patterned paper for the inside.


Here is a peek at the inside ...


Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
