Never - Ending Thanks

Never - Ending Thanks

Recently I have been making Never-ending Cards - lots of fun, a whole lot easier than it looks, and a great way to use up Designer Series Paper scraps from other projects. The card features 4 pages, each opening up to the next until it returns you to the first page. 

My Never-Ending Thanks card uses both current, clearance,  and retired Stampin' Up! products.

Here's page 1.  

 stamps:  Thank You Kindly (ret.)
               Trendy Trees (I love this 2-step stamp set!)


This page opens from the middle 
to reveal........

a cute little owl and more on p.2
 stamps: Forest Friends (ret.)
               God's Blessings
 

Lift from the middle to find....

p.  3 and a sweet little tree

 stamps: Forest Friends (ret.)
              Picture This (ret.)


Swing back the sides
to get to . . .

p. 4, with plenty of room for a personal handwritten message.  


Flip up from the middle lands you back on p. 1.

stamp: Herb Expressions










Used throughout the card:
CS:  Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
DSP: Autumn Traditions (clearance rack)
Ink: Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Riding Hood Red, Always Artichoke

Hope you enjoyed seeing my never-ending card.  It might seem a little fall-ish; but to me, giving thanks is always in season.

With thanks to you for visiting my blog,
