This card is just lovely for a Thanksgiving dinner thank you or, really, just any autumn thank you. You can also swap out ‘thank you’ for any greeting that will fit in the center of the wreath.
There’s lots of interest on this card:
- the embossed trees on the front flap
- the dimension and colors of the wreath
- the interesting front fold
Knowing the supplies ahead of time is always a big help so here they are.

Why don’t you make up several of these cards, changing the colors and greeting if you like, and have them “at the ready” to send to a party or dinner host? Trust me, they’ll be so impressed and will love getting something in the mail other than an ad (junk mail) or a bill. As always, if you’re proud of what you’ve just created, send me a photo in an email and I’ll post it here for all of the readers to enjoy.
Today is the last day of Stampin’ Up!’s On Stage event. One more afternoon of seeing this beautiful town of Brussels, a final yummy dinner with my roommate, Terri and perhaps a few other friends, and I’ll be waving bye-bye. Tomorrow (I do get another Belgian breakfast) I’ll be heading out on the ICE train for a six hour ride to Kiel where I’ll be picked up by my German ‘son’. Stephan was our exchange student in 1989-90, graduated from Westmont High School in Campbell CA with my son, and has never left our hearts. We’ve seen him several time over the intervening years but now I’m anxious to meet the three little kindern that he’s fathered! Oh how time flies. Be sure to check my FaceBook page for a few travel log photos.
