Guest Designer - Just Us Girls - Die Week #839 Thanks

 I am so honored to have been asked to be a Guest Designer over at Just Us Girls (JUGS) for the month of September! 

I was chosen because my card was a Winner of the Week in July here.  That was also die week!?!

Here's the first challenge for September  - Die Week/Thanks.

"Thanks" always makes me think of Thanksgiving - especially since we are almost moving into fall here in New England.

But I don't send many Thanksgiving cards....

so I went with Thank You using Fall colors!

I first cut a Dark Chocolate base that I  ran through my machine with the Pierced Spring Leaves Cover Plate die from Honey Bee.  

Next, I die cut the side panel out of Saffron Spice using Woven Cane Background die from The Greetery.  This die cuts a full A2 panel but I cut it down to be just about a third. 

I die cut the 'THANK YOU' from Gina Marie Stamps in Summer Sunrise, Saffron Spice and Terracotta Tile.  I cut three more out of Dark Chocolate and layered the colored ones over Chocolate to make them more sturdy.  I layered them on the card with foam dots. 

 

To finish off my design, I die cut the acorn using Autumn Side Kick Thinlits from Tim Holtz/Sizzix and adhered it over the O in the middle THANK YOU!

So what does 'Thanks' make you think of?  We hope you'll join us over at JUGS and link up your creation using dies along with the Thanks theme!

You'll also find lots of inspiration from the super talented Design Team!
