Layered Thank you card

Layered thank you card. I finally got round to exploring the Lovely Arrangements online exclusive which appeared on the scene way back in January 26. It is part of the Lovely Blossoms Suite Collection and the papers are beautiful.

Lovely Arrangements Dies

I loved the samples that Stampin’ Up! created and one in particular caught my eye which was in Petal Pink using the 2 larger dies in the Lovely Arrangements die set. So I simply used the same layout but changed the colour scheme and sentiment.

The eyelet one on the left will die cut the little eyelets, but doesn’t cut the rectangular shape. If you look closely at the die, there are no ridges on its perimeter. So if you want to use it as a layer, you will have to cut it with scissors or your trimmer.

On the right, the joined together circles also make a nice backdrop but the little diamond shapes can be re-purposed as embellishments so don’t throw them away! You can see how I used some for the inside of the card.

Cutting guide

1. Card base : Cloud Cover card stock cut at 4 ⅛” x 11 ½” (10.5 cm x 29 cm) folded in half.
2. Cloud Cover scrap – die cut the eyelet piece and trim just shy of the eyelets to keep the pattern and die cut the circular one too. Keep the insides left by the circles so you can use them again.
3. Basic White – inside card cut at 3 ⅞” x 5 ½” (9.8 cm x 14 cm)
4. Scraps of Basic White to stamp and die cut flowers and leaves.
5. Petal Pink scrap to emboss and die cut sentiment.
6. Lovely Blossoms DSP to die cut the embossed leaves.

1. Adhere the eyelet die cut piece at an angle on card front.
2. Apply dimensionals to back of die cut circle piece and adhere on top of eyelet piece.
3. Stamp 3 sets of the trio of leaves in Soft Sea Foam and die cut.

5. Using the Stampin’ Positioner, I stamped the flowers with Cloud Cover stampin’ spot, cleaned the stamp then stamped them again with Versamark. Sprinkled Clear embossing powder over it and heat set it.
6. Die cut 2 of the pair of leaves with the detailed leaf die and one of the single leaf die from this sheet of Lovely Blossoms 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper pictured below.
7. Attach ribbon next then arrange the flowers and leaves and adhere to front of card as pictured.
