Hello friends! Hopefully it’s starting to feel more like fall where you live. It’s still hanging out in the low 70’s here, but overnight temps are now in the upper 40’s. I can handle that for now. I know the rest of the country has more extreme temperatures compared to western Washington.
I’ve been doing my best to get ahead on my donation cards. I already have all the cards finished that are going to the retirement residents except for Thanksgiving cards. In my latest video, I focused on just making Thanksgiving cards. I used a lovely fall collection from Bella Blvd called One Fall Day. I believe it was released last year, but I never got around to using it. The collection is still available if you are interested.
I made 33 Thanksgiving cards. Yay! I had some leftover from last year, so now I will have a few extras for next year. I still need to stamp a sentiment on the inside of the cards and add a handwritten message, but it feels so good to have the cards made. And it’s only early October!
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. All my cards are American standard A2 size. For sketches that don’t include measurements, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Bella Blvd’s One Fall Day 12×12 collection.

Great cards to celebrate Thanksgiving Kristie. The recipients will be thrilled to receive these! We cooled down a bit yesterday, but the heat will be back on today through the end of the week. Hopefully it’ll feel more and more like fall to you!
