These two cards were made from the same paper stack as the ones in my previous post.
In fact, I used only one sheet of 6" X 6" paper and cut it in half and matted it before gluing each half to a card front.
This is a top-folding card. I cut the top of the kraft card base 3/4" inch in on each side up to the fold at the top. Then, after attaching my tab on the left, I glued these sections down and added a 1/2" strip of the dark orange paper.
The tab is 1" wide and long enough to reach across the front of the card and tuck a small portion under the narrow left side.
I actually made it extra long and then cut it off and fish-tailed the end of it so that it came to the edge of my card front. Two die-cuts, one with a sentiment, were added to the center of the tab.
When the center portion of the card front is lifted up, this is what you see--a stamped sentiment and leaf.
I also cut a sheet of the DSP in half for these two cards. The A2 card base had an inch cut off the right had side of the front and a matted circle with a stamped sentiment was added.
I thought the treescape was a little plain, so I added a die-cut deer. I really liked how it looked on the card.
The dots at the top and bottom were made with Nuvo Drops.
The stamped sentiment was centered underneath the narrower card front, so it looks a little off-center when you open the card, but I think that's ok.
I still have a lot of Thanksgiving cards to share with you. I'm not sure I'll get them all posted, but I'll do my best.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

These are beautiful fall cards. I am intrigued by the top one. The shape of the sentiment and background really accents the card. I am definitely putting this on my to do list. Thanks for the inspiration,
Your fall cards are so beautiful, and I’m loving all of your folds! I brought some patterned papers to create with - will try these folds out! Thanks for always inspiring me! Hugs!
Oh my goodness, that paper is so beautiful! And your cards are amazing, Cheryl.
