Pretty Prints Thank You Card

  

Hi there, and thanks for visiting my blog! And thank you so much for voting for my card--it placed tenth in Kylie Bertucci's October International Blog Highlights competition!! I am honoured to be in a group of such talented designers from all over the world, and to have been invited to participate in the Top Ten Winners Hop again. (I have posted my winning card at the bottom of this blog entry, in case you haven't seen it.)

Pretty Prints Thank You Card

I hadn't used my Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper (DSP) in quite a while, so decided to pull it out to make this month's Top Ten Winners card. These prints really are so pretty, and it was tough to choose what colour to use. I decided to use one of the Evening Evergreen prints for this card.

The trees were die cut with our Majestic Mountains Dies, and I used Stylish Shapes Dies for the sentiment label and the stitched frame. I hadn't used my Snowflake Specialty Vellum yet, and thought it would be perfect for this card! What do you think?

Here is the card I submitted for this month's contest. Thanks again for voting it into the Top Ten! To see more photos and directions for the card below, click here.

Full Directions for My Pretty Prints Thank You Card:

1. Cut the following layers:
• Evening Evergreen cardstock: 8-1/4" x 4-1/4", scored at 5-1/2"; 2-3/4" x 2-3/4"; 3" x 3" (die cut frame with two largest Stylish Shapes squares, then die cut two trees using Majestic Mountains trees dies from the leftover inside part of the frame)
• Soft Succulent cardstock: 5-1/4" x 4"; 2-1/2" x 4"; 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" (stamp Penguin Place sentiment in Evening Evergreen, die cut with smallest Stylish Shapes circle)
• Pretty Prints 12" x 12" DSP: 2-1/4" x 3-3/4" 
• Snowflake 12" x 12" Specialty Vellum: 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" (flocked dots)
2. Adhere largest piece of Soft Succulent to inside of card; adhere medium piece to front of card.
3. Adhere DSP to card front. 
4. Adhere the vellum piece to the back of the stitched frame, with flocked dots to front. Adhere framed piece to square piece of Evening Evergreen (glue only the perimeter of the square). With the card closed, place the framed square at the centre of the card, and then adhere only the left hand side of the square to the DSP layer. Glue the trees so they touch the bottom of the inside of the frame.
5. Attach the sentiment with a Dimensional.
6. Add three Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems to card front.
