Putting It Together Tips:

  • Okay I know I've overused Lovely As A Tree the past few weeks, but this is just the season it's perfect for.  I promise after January 1, you won't see it for a good long while.
  • I assembled the card face by first placing the Lace Ribbon Border half way down on the card.  Next I placed the tree immage in the upper left and the sentiment in the lower right.  Finally I stamped the leaf image to fill the remaining space.  Stamping the image off the paper gives the catd some interest.  
  • That's it.  Quick, easy and impressive!  This design template could be used for all of the Hand-Penned Holidays sentiments.  Just swap out the colors and images to fit the holiday!

One stunning card there! The tree is gorgeous. It looks like you used more than on color there. True? In our area we get trees like that. It is fun to see them done by hand and not a photo.

Hi Mike! I love your Autumn card for Thanksgiving. Great design with simple clean lines. The rich pumpkin pie color is perfect for those oak leaves. Nothing wrong with using a stamp set multiple times, you are giving us new ideas. Hope you have a blessed holiday.

Can we ever use Lovely as a Tree too much? I know I can't - I was thrilled to see it is finally in My Digital Studio, too! Yippee!

This is great card layout and I can also see it with some of the other punch layers underneath. Quick and easy! Great job Mike!

hugs and Happy Thanksgiving,
Joni <><
