Thanks so much for all you do

Hey everybody, Happy Monday! It’s the middle of August already and I’m telling you it’ll be Christmas before we know it! I’m up on the Prickley Pear Stamps blog today with an inspiration project featuring the new Thanks stamp set and coordinating Thanks die set! It’s been a minute since I made a tri-fold card and this one has panels on it rather than the typical slanted edge. I can’t say enough about these stamps and dies. Everybody needs thank you cards in their stash and those with a large sentiment sure speak volumes!

I cut a basic tri-fold card base from CutCardStock Basis Natural cardstock along with a layering panel from a floral print in the Melissa Frances 5th Avenue 6×6 paper pad. I stamped the large sentiment, two butterflies and a dragonfly from the Thanks stamp set on Basis Natural and colored them with alcohol markers. I fussy cut the letters and die cut the butterflies and dragonfly with the coordinating dies in the Thanks die set.

Using the Keep It Simple Stitched Ovals Nested dies, I die cut three ovals for each of the panels from Basis Natural and additional prints in the 5th Avenue paper pad, layered them and adhered them to the card base. I added the main sentiment to the first panel and stamped the remaining parts of the sentiment as well as leaf images (from the same stamp set) on the two subsequent panels. I embellished the front panel with a duplicate fussy cut floral image popped up on small foam pads and one of the butterflies, then added the other butterfly and the dragonfly to the other panels. The finishing touch was adding clear iridescent gemstones (colored with an alcohol marker) to each of the panels.
