Today I’m playing with the Be Thankful bundle:
Here’s how I was inspired:
First up is my Thankful card:
I’ve been smitten with texture and ribbon lately and couldn’t wait to add that to my card. I cut the sentiment twice, underneath the aqua plaid is solid black. I colored the apples with Zig Clean Color Markers and the basket with Mustard Seed Distress Ink. I’ve had a package of burlap ATC’s for a long time and used that in my design. Can you see that I repeat stamped Thankful on the kraft base? My card has been topped off with some gorgeous orange ombre silk dyed ribbon.
My next card is a coffee one, of course. Did you know that there is apple flavored coffee?
I used the mug from the After Coffee set. I did some quick masking and then stamped the apples from the Be Thankful set. The Thankful die cut has a total of 5 layers:
I love how you can see the stacked black layers! My card was inspired by Kerry’s Sip & Share sketch:

November 20, 2016 at 8:39 am (7 years ago)Love the thick thankful. I never
take the time to layer a sentiment
but it really makes a difference.
the apples in the cup are fun.
I don’t drink coffee so I didn’t
know there is an apple coffee.
Your first card is great.
Wonderful layering – love the plaid.
thanks for sharaing.
