Good morning, SCT friends! Sheri Reguly here! I have a coordinating pair of Thanksgiving cards to share with you today. The majority of the products that I used are recent releases from Close To My Heart, with a few extra embellishments added to the mix.
For my first card, I selected a solid dark blue background and created a subtle tone on tone effect using a leaf outline stamp and a darker shade of blue ink.
A block of patterned paper was added to the bottom portion, and then both pieces were matted onto a kraft colored cardstock. A die cut decorative edge was added above the patterned paper, along with a double wrap of embellishing thread. A pre-made die cut tag was centered and adhered within the top portion of the design using adhesive foam. The tag was then decorated with a sentiment sticker and a various assortment of embellishments. A large pre-made bow and a couple of enamel dots added the perfect finishing touch.
For my second card, I used a multi-square window die along with white cardstock.
SUPPLIES: Cardstock: Bazzill Basics; Patterned Paper, Window Die, Stamp, Vellum Die Cuts, Kraft Die, Black & White Complements: Close To My Heart; Enamel Dots: Simple Stories, My Mind’s Eye; Decorative Buttons, Tag, Puffy Sticker: Pinkfresh Studio; Fabric Bow: Crate Paper; Ink: Ranger Industries; Additional Metal Dies: My Favorite Things
I backed the die with a cardboard effect patterned paper and adhered it to a plaid patterned paper background. A leaf patterned paper was adhered to the lower portion and a die cut flagged banner was adhered to separate the upper and lower halves. A pre-made tag embellishment was threaded, centered and adhered to the top portion using adhesive foam. Vellum leaf die cuts were applied on top, followed by the sentiment. A supporting sentiment was computer generated and then printed onto a wood grain pattern paper. It was cut out using a flag die and adhered within the right bottom window. A decorative button, puffy sticker and a few enamel dots added the perfect finishing touch and completed the design.
Thanks so much for joining me. Wishing you all a wonderful day! :)

Bonjour
It is not what I made for the Canadian Thanksgiving card. I do like it. It is out of the ordinary and what is good about it, is Sheri is happy with her creation.
Merci

Fantastic! I just love the color tones on the paper and your layout give me many ideas. The little details in each and every elements and how they all complement each other color tones is my favorite. I love these cards and thank you for sharing and inspiring ideas!
