Last Two!

Here are the last two cards in the set of 10 Thank You cards that I made. I really like Natural Beauty and I'm sad that I bought it within a month of the retiring list coming out only to find that it's retiring. Along with Petal Prints and Roses in Winter, it's one retiring set that I'm going to keep because I like it far too much to part with it! Anyway, here are the last two cards:

This first card is a hinge-fold card I guess. I'm sure it was influenced by ones that I've seen, but I kind of put the length of the 2 front flaps how I wanted them and actually don't even remember what their dimensions were. I know that it did end up being a standard A2-sized card though. When it's flat the words on the side are not covered by the mounted image, there is about a 1/4" or less in between them and it, but that's how I wanted it to look. I should have taken a pic of that view before giving them away!!! Anyway, I created my little Thanks tag by only putting ink on the "Thanks" part of the Thanksgiving stamp in the Holidays & Wishes stamp set. The corners were punched in a modified way with the Ticket Corner punch - I didn't push the paper all the way in, that was too far for the look I wanted. The thread running through it is white sewing thread that also runs through the button.
