Last week I shared a Pop Up Slimline card and tutorial, and in the video I talked about this patterned paper and how I wanted to USE IT UP this year. Since I still need a bunch of Thanksgiving cards, I pulled out the June 2021 Sheetload of Cards (which is another favourite) and a VERY old wreath stamp set. Here are the cards I came up with ...
I stamped the wreath on the circle that would go onto the card front, then - without re-inking, I stamped it again on the envelope. This 2nd generation stamping gives a lighter impression. I repeated that with all of the wreath layers. Then, I pulled out my favourite dot stamp - a peg stamp - and added some dots.
The gold foiled bee stickers were added to the front, inside and envelopes for a bit of shine. While I finished these before my new Thanksgiving sentiment stamps arrived, I think I will leave them without anything inside and handwrite a greeting to the person I'm going to send them to.
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.
