Give Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow! I made this Fall / Thanksgiving card based upon the card layout pictured below! This sketch is featured on page 23 of the June 2009 Stampin' Success magazine! One of the great benefits of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is receiving this fabulous publication in my mailbox every month! I look forward to all the new samples, information, stamping techniques and layouts it contains!

The layout was quite easy to work with since it was basically color blocks and piecing everything together! I love simple card making designs! The stamp I used is from the Holiday Best stamp set on page 13 of the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog! It's a Level 1 Hostess set and can be earned for FREE with either a workshop or personal order of $150 or more! Please email me if you'd like to place an order and I can help you get the best deal!

Tip: To get my brads perfectly lined up in a row, I used my Mat Pack (pg. 191) paper-piercing template and pad! The template is perfect for lining up holes perfectly!
