Thank You Card

  

 Supplies:
Stamps:  Happy Thoughts
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black
Cardstock:  Basic Black – One piece cut to 3 ¾” x 5 ¼”
Basic White:  Two pieces – one piece cut to 3 5/8” x 5 1/8” and one piece cut to ¾” x 4”
Designer Series Paper (DSP):   True Love – 3 pieces; one piece cut to 5 ½” x 12”, one piece for cutting out the flower image and one piece cut to ¾” x 3 5/8””
Accessories:  Adhesive of choice, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Banners Pick a Punch, Stampin’ Trimmer, cutting and scoring template

Technique:   Diagonal Gatefold

 Directions:

 Make the card base using the 5 ½” x 12” piece of DSP. With the 12” length along the top of the trimmer, use the score blade to score the DSP at 2”, 4”, 8” and 10”.  Using the template as a guide, measure down 2 ¾” from the top of the DSP and make a pencil mark on each side.  Cut from the score line at the 4” mark down to the 2 1/4” mark. On the left side and cut from the 8” score line to the 2 1/4" mark on the right side (See template).  Save the pieces that were cut away.  Fold along the 4” mark on the left side and then turn that side back at the 2” score line, repeat this on the right side so that when folded the two sides meet in the middle to create the Gate Card.  Adhere the pieces that were previously cut away to the bottom front of each panel, trimming as needed. (see photo).  “Fussy Cut” flowers from one of the pieces of DSP (see photo for the pattern I chose).  Use the Banners Pick a Punch to punch the right side of the ¾” x 4” piece of cardstock.  Use the Memento ink to stamp “Thank You” close to the banner end.  Attach the cut out flowers to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Slide the left end of the piece with the sentiment under the flowers and secure with adhesive, you will need to trim the left side of the piece so it does not show under the flowers or hang over the right side of the card.  Adhere the ¾” x 3 5/8”” piece of DSP to the 3 5/” x 5 1/8” piece of Basic White and then adhere this piece to the 3 ¾” x 5 ¼” piece of Basic Black.  Adhere this to the center panel on the inside of the card.  Enjoy!

  

Thinking of You Card

 

Supplies:
 
Stamps: Happy Thoughts
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black
Cardstock:  Basic Black – one piece cut to 5 ½” x 8” and scored at 4 ¼” and a scrap large enough to accommodate the Tailored Tag punch
Basic White – five pieces; three pieces cut to 1 5/8” x 4”, one piece cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and one scrap large enough to accommodate the Tailored Tag punch

3 7/8” and one piece cut to ¾” x 4”

Directions:

 Adhere the three 1 ½” x 3 7/8” pieces of DSP to the three 1 5/8” x 4” pieces of Basic White. Adhere these three panels to the card front spacing evenly between each piece. 

Stamp the “Thank You” sentiment on the scrap of Basic White and punch out the sentiment using he Tailored Tag punch.  Punch another Tailored Tag from the scrap of Basic Black.  Cut the Basic Black punched piece in half horizontally and adhere to the back of the Basic White sentiment piece so that about ¼” of the black shows on the top and the bottom behind the sentiment piece (see photo for placement)  Apply Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment piece and remove the backing but don’t adhere to the card front yet.  Cut a 10” length of the ribbon and fold it so that it is about ½ to ¾” wider than the sentiment piece of both sided (see photo).  Place this onto the dimensionals on the back of the sentiment piece.  You may need to apply some adhesive to the ribbon to adhere the whole piece to the card front.  Adhere the ¾” x 4” piece of DSP to the remaining 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Basic White.  Stamp any sentiment desired and then adhere this piece to the inside of the card.  Send to someone you would like to thank!
