I love new releases!!! Today there’s a new release for JustRite Stamps called Give Thanks – Nested Frames. I’m getting those fall stirrings and I almost think that the more I dream and reflect on my favorite fall things like cider and pie, Thanksgiving, russet leaves and the smell of a fire place, the quicker it will get here. Well, I guess a gal can dream (sigh)! It will be here soon enough right? Well I love pulling out fall tones so that’s what I’ve done with this card. All of the nested collections at JustRite lend themselves to stacking very well, so I really went with the layers today.
To set this up I created a base with Spellbinders Labels Seventeen #5. On top of the base I layered one of the square nested frames cut with Spellbinders Long Classic Rectangles LG #4. My next layer up is cut with Spellbinders Mega Ovals LG #2 and #4 followed by an additional rectangle cut with Long Classic Rectangles LG #2. My center, the Give Thanks sentiment, was cut by hand (ahem, that cut by hand thing is a very rare occurrence in my life). Along the left edge of the card I cut a border with Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Border Petites.
To finish off I tied a bow and added these fun flower filigree pieces. They all bell caps for jewelry, but I flattened them with a wood block and they make a nice embellishment to draw your eye along the bottom edge of the card.

I just love this fall card! Fall is my favorite time of year because of all the colors, scents, and food! You did our autumn season justice with this beautiful card!
Gorgeous card Becca. Beautiful colours and I too love all the beautiful colours that fall brings. Thanks for sharing.
This is VERY ELEGANT and just BEAUTIFUL!!! I LOVE the colors!!! And the beautiful papers !!!! The attention to detail!!!! As usual Becca, you WOW us!!!! :)
Ooooo, that is sooo pretty! Girl, you are on a roll!
Elegant and absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful colors – gorgeous paper – and just love those filigree flower caps! Thank you Becca.
Hey Becca,
Another beauty of a card. You never cease to amaze me.
BTW, I can smell wood burning from a neighbours house. The leaves are turning colour and it’s a crisp 9C, right now. Not sure what that is in Farenheit but it’s chilly, here in Ontario, Canada.
You are welcome to come up for a cuppa. Fall is only days away but it is, surely, Fall now.
Keep on keep on, my friend. Look forward, as always, to each day’s look at your blog.

This is beautiful, soft and elegant and I love those layers!
I have just recently discovered your beautiful creations. Truthfully, I was getting a little bored with my own ideas and somewhat in a rut with my cards. Your work has beauty and power in it. Thank you for sharing your creativity and your faith. I feel newly inspired.
I love the layered effect, Becca! I think you have a real knack of designing your cards so they ‘pull’ the viewer in. In other words your cards are not flat!
Thank you for sharing with us.
I love your creativity Becca, it’s nice to see someone who is not afraid of a hammer and a woodblock to make something fit! Card it beautiful and the extra “flattened” out embellies are just the perfect touch! Thanks again for sharing!
Lovely card and also sweet thoughts about autumn. It seems to be a big thing your side of the pond to relish the fall coming on. To most of us in the UK, it just means more miserable weather to follow the misterable weather of summer!!!
However, I love it that its harvest time and all natures foodstuff is ripe and ready. All the hardwork of the spring is coming to fruition and we’re enjoying, quite literally, the fruits of our labour.
Looking forward to more home grown produce next year.

Becca, this card is lovely. The colors are great, layering, embellishments and stamps. God bless!
Becca, what a beautiful card! I look forward to your posts to see what you make next! I loved all of the layering that you do with the Spellbinder dies. Since I have been checking out your site, I have been inspired by all of your beautiful cards. A big thank you.
So Elegant!
What an amazing gift idea! Not only the flowers inside but the box is lovely as the flowers. It’s so traditional looking. I love the colors and the flowers too. TFS
I enjoy your cards so much, you’re absolutely first on my blog list! I’m in the process of going back through the archives now and picking up any ideas I may have missed on the first go-round.
