CAS Thanks


It is that time of year to make Thank You cards!  My birthday is around the corner and what better way to truly send thanks than to send a handmade card!


I started with a sketch from Retro Sketches and went looking through my card making kits.  I found scraps from an old Basic Grey collection named Lucky.  It had fun and happy colors combined with pretty blossoms.   The front of an A-2 size card was placed in Cuttlebug Thanks embossing folder.  After trimming the diagonal strips to 5/8”, ¾’, and 5/8” they were adhered to the front of the card.  The tag was part of the Lucky printed set, and is decorated with ribbons and fibers from my stash.  Spellbinders Petite Ovals Small and Large die cut the sentiment label.  The sentiment is from a $1 Studio G set that I’ve had for many years.  It is stamped in Tsukineko Memento Luxe Elderberry and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Once the design elements were selected it took less than 10 minutes to put this Clean and Simple card together.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:
