This is the Season of Thanks and I’m so thankful for all of the people I’ve met through stamping and card making. That’s you! It’s so much fun to introduce people to stamping or share a new technique or new stamp set. I wish that laundry and other chores could just disappear to allow for more creative time!
Here is a card that we made at the Open house on September 8, 2019. I’ve been meaning to post it and the “recipe” for quite some time. Here it is…. read on past the recipe and see how I changed up some of the leftovers to make Thinking Of You cards!

This card was made by using the “back side” of one of the designer series papers, flipping the oval on it’s side and using the “thinking of you” from the Rooted in Nature stamp set. Easy Peasy!
I hope that you take the time to let friends and family know that you are thinking of them and thankful for them! Go make a card and make someone’s day by mailing it! (No card hoarding allowed!)
