Expressions of Thanks

This is the first project that I did for the Paper Temptress Design Team. I would like to start by saying Thank You to Patricia for this wonderful opportunity to be a part of a such a talented group and be able to be able to work with beautiful papers. Now on with my first project. I choose to create a simple yet elegant thank you card.

Products used:

• Mountain Rose Glimmer from Paper Temptress
• Plain White Cardstock
• Memento Ink Angel Pink
• Memento Ink Rosebud
• Cuttlebug Folder "Stylized Flowers"
• Pink Rhinestones
• Pink Satin Ribbon ⅛" wide
• Stamps are from Stampin' Up
• Scoring Board

How I made it:

• I cut the card base out of white cardstock 6"x 9"
• I then scored the cardstock at 2¼" and at 6¾” to form the gate fold card
• I cut 2 pieces of the Mountain Rose Glimmer cardstock 5⅞"x 2¼"
• Using the Stylized Flowers Cuttlebug folder I embossed the Mountain Rose Glimmer cardstock and then I attached them to the 2 side panels of the front of the gate fold card
• I cut white cardstock at 2"x 2" and 2½”x 2½”
• I stamped the flower image in Angel Pink and Rosebud stamp pad on the 2"x 2" and then mounted it on a piece of Mountain Rose Glimmer cardstock cut at 2¼" x and 2¼" and then mounted on the 2½”x 2½” white cardstock
• I added adhesive to the left side of the matted image and attached to the left side flap of the gate fold card
• I cut white cardstock at 2" x 1" and 2½”x 1½”
• I stamped the sentiment stamp on the white cardstock 2" x 1" and then cut a piece of Mountain Rose Glimmer cardstock to mount the stamped sentiment on and then added the layers to the white cardstock 2½”x 1½”
• I added adhesive to the right side of the matted sentiment and then attached to the right flap of the gate fold card
• I cut a piece of Mountain Rose Glimmer cardstock at 4⅜" x 5⅞” and attached to the inside of the card
• I cut white cardstock at 3½”x 3” and the stamped sentiment in Rosebud stamp pad and then attached to the inside of the gate fold card
• I added a small bow to the front of the card and a rhinestone to the center of the flower for a little bling to match the shimmer of the paper.

I hope that you are able to see the beautiful shimmer of the paper. The detail from the embossing folder is enhanced the Mountain Rose Glimmer cardstock. It would be a versatile cardstock to use for so many projects.

Until next time...happy paper crafting!
