First lets start with the Catalog preview.  As a demonstrator, one of the perks is seeing things early and then being able to order early.  Can’t wait until 3 today!

Next, what a great bundle to play with.  I needed a Thank You card for a whole family so I didn’t want it so cutsy.  These 2 sweet twin girls recaptured my brothers dog who had gotten out while we weren’t home.  Thanks goodness for Ring doorbell.  I guess we didn’t latch the front door and a wind opened it up.  He was roaming for a couple of hours, but they got him and brought him to the house.  We “talked” via ring and they pulled the door shut tight.  Anyway, I wanted to thank them more than just me showing up and thanking them in person.  I think a hand made card is better, don’t you think?

All measurements and supplies are listed below.

  • Cinnamon Cider A2 card 4-1/4 x 11 scored at 5-1/2 top fold
  • Bloom Where You Are Planted DSP.  The page with a row of greenery on two sides, I cut down the white space and the greenery to make enough room for my basket
  • I used our brushes to blend a little Pale Papaya over the white of the DSP as it was too much near the Very Vanilla I used for the pot, the “holder” and the sentiment.  Even the brick background was creamy looking.  This all blended better.
  • Stamped Soft Succulent for the greens in the pot and the sentiment.
  • Used Everyday Label punch for the sentiment
  • Die cut the pieces and layered them.  I did use dimensionals on the hanging greenery and on the sentiment
  • Tied a little bow with Linen cording.

That’s all!   Just a little bit of fussy cutting around the greenery which was simple as the shapes were fairly broad.  I hope you enjoyed this little Thank You card.  Please leave me some feedback, as it helps me think of things to post.  Give me some requests and I’ll see what I can do!
