stamping lightly: Give Thanks {Waffle Flower Crafts}

Hello friends,

Earlier this month, Waffle Flower Crafts released the Holiday Labels- Give Thanks stamp set. With our Canadian friends celebrating Thanksgiving yesterday, I thought it was the perfect time to ink up this set and create a trio of thankful cards.

I started with a panel of white cardstock and lightly traced a swooping line with my pencil. Next I stamped the leaves and acorns from the Holiday Labels- Give Thanks stamp set. Once the larger shapes were in place, I stamped the small set of leaves that were a part of the 'Give Thanks' sentiment. I performed a bit of stamp surgery to separate them from the sentiment. I also added a few dots from the Feather More stamp set. Finally, I erased the pencil lines and stamped the sentiment in brown ink. I matted the stamped panel on a piece of patterned paper and adhered it to the card base.

This design is super easy for mass production, so I made a few more.

On a gray patterned paper mat with bright green leaves.

Same ink colors as above matted with yellow patterned paper. (And no, your eyes are not playing trick on you, I made a trimming error, so the yellow card is 4 x 5.5". I am hoping the recipient will not notice.) ;o)
