Thanksgiving Circles

Yet another simple design to help me finish my twelve sets of twelve cards.

My Interpretation: I decided against the flower and stuck with three simple circles, a sentiment, and a ribbon.  I started with just the circles and sentiment, but realized that the card was just too plain.  The ribbon goes a long way to adding to the card.  I didn't take pictures of the others, but ended up running out of this green plaid ribbon and substituted orange and brown solid ribbon for the rest.

Tip: The orange circles looked too plain as just solid orange, so I made my own patterned paper.  I took SU's Magnificent Maple stamp (sadly retired), and stamped all over a 8.5x11 sheet of pumpkin pie paper in pumpkin pie, wild wasabi, early espresso, and more mustard ink.  The overlapping leaves created a nice neutral pattern paper to then cut into circles.  It definitely adds a bit more homemade touch to card.  Plus, I now have some leftover homemade pattern paper to play with.

Supply List:

  • Stamps: Magnificent Maple (retired)
