Stampin' Up! Sweets & Treats Thankful Card

Hey stampers!  Today's card might should have been posted last Thursday instead of today, since it was Thanksgiving!  I just realized how perfect that would have been as I was editing the pictures today.  Oh well.  We should be thankful all the time, not just at Thanksgiving.

For some reason, I tend to grab pretty much the same colors when I used this set.  I wonder if there's going to be a different set I use these colors with, since this Sweets & Treats stamp set will be retiring at the end of the month.  If it is one you have had your eye on, don't miss your chance to purchase it.  I have sure been enjoying it the last few months!

For the inside layer I just stamped a heart in the upper right corner with Fresh Freesia ink.  Is there a sentiment you would like to add to the inside? 

Adhere the inside layer to the inside of your card. 

I hope this card inspires you to create something today!
