Give Thanks

Give Thanks!!
That’s my motto for this month of November.
I really want to focus on thanking people and being grateful for those in my life.
We never know what might happen or what people are going through.
Be grateful everyday for the people in your life.
Give ThanksThis card features the Thankful Forest Friends stamp set from the Holiday Catalog.
The color combination is a definite hit.
The card base is Delightful Dijon with a layer of Soft Suede.
The top layer is Cajun Craze — I cut an opening with the Circles Collection Framelits and then it was embossed with the Boho Chic embossing folder.
I cut a “rim” for the open from Soft Suede card stock.
I cut a circle from Delightful Dijon card stock.  Lay the Cajun Craze layer on top of the Soft Suede card stock, attach the Delightful Dijon circle, centering it in the Cajun Craze opening.  Ink the stamp with Stampin’ Write Markers — Delightful Dijon, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede and Old Olive.  Punch out with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch.  Attach to the Delightful Dijon circle.  I added the leaf from the Into the Woods Embellishments with a Glue Dot.  Glue a piece of Window Sheet to the back of the Cajun Craze layer — attach to the card base with dimensionals.  Glue the Soft Suede rim on with the Fine Tip Glue Pen or the MultiPurpose Glue (Green Glue).  Stamp the bear with Soft Suede ink on Soft Suede cardstock and cut out with your Paper Snips.
Anyone would be thrilled to receive this card.
