I made so many Fall & Thanksgiving cards last year that I didn't need to make any this year. Then, I ran out of time and didn't get any mailed for our Canadian Thanksgiving in October, so now I have lots for next year too. Sheesh. At least I can mail cards to our American friends & family this month. I found this single 12x12" sheet of fall themed paper in my stash and decided to use it up. I made 4 different sized cards and will be sharing them throughout the week.
So far I have shared a 5x7" fun fold, and a standard A2 sized card. Today Is a Slimline card! I have these Kraft #10 business envelopes and they are perfect for fall cards. I used stickers to decorate both the envelope and the inside of the card, which is shown a bit further down the post.
I love the Happy Fall die from Pink & Main and have used it many times over the years during the fall season. For this card I lightly sponged a deeper orange in the centre of the die cut then added Wink of Stella for a little sparkle & Shine. The pumpkin started off as a shaker, but I decided I didn't want to add extra postage so instead created the shaker with thin foam tape. That gave me less bulk, and some of the filler is thin and does move around but not enough that I would call it a shaker. Still, I liked the look.
Below is a peek at the inside, where I added washi tape to the bottom of an off white confetti panel then a big focal sticker.
