Autumn Blessings Slimline Card


I had been hoarding saving this strip of cardstock with the three leaves on it ... for years. This year I pulled it out of my 'in progress' bin and cut each of the leaves away from the piece with a square die. Then I added each square to a metallic cardstock panel with thin foam tape

I wrapped gold thread around the panel then adhered it to a brown cardstock base - folded, my slimline card measures 8.5 x 3.5" and fits in a standard #10 business envelope. I added the stamped sentiment across two of the leaf panels and my card front was done.


Here is a look at the inside, with stamping and some fall themed washi tape.


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.
