Thank You note card

11/28/21 Sweet Pick at Cupcake Inspirations!

Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a great week! It’s turned quite chilly here – a mere 21 degrees when we got up at 3:30 AM this morning – and we love it! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I am once again making time to play in The Outlawz Challenges, and have this pretty thank you note card to share in the Sunday Songs & Rhymes Challenge. Our sponsor this fortnight is Makenna Kroulik so come on over and play! We were given the song “Autumn Serenade” for inspiration, and these gorgeous leaves in the Prickley Pear Stamps Oak & Maple Leaf 2 stamp set really spoke to me. What a beautiful background for a thank you note card, and we always need thank you cards in our stash!

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base and a layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, along with an additional layering panel from Papertrey Ink Terracotta Tile cardstock, and rounded the four corners on all of them. I stamped the background using the Prickley Pear Stamps Oak & Maple Leaf 2 stamp set in various colors of Ranger archival inks, and layered the panel on the terracotta tile cardstock panel and then to the card base. I stamped the sentiment, trimmed it and rounded the corners. I layered it on a scrap of the terracotta tile cardstock and adhered it to the center of the panel. I finished the front with random dots of Crystal Drops over the background piece and both sides of the sentiment.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, embellished it with a wide strip of Papertrey Ink Terracotta Tile cardstock, and layered it on a terracotta tile cardstock panel. I left the panel blank, leaving plenty of room to write a custom thank you message.

And one more peek… so loving how this background turned out! These stamps are just gorgeous and created such a beautiful background!

Thank You note card

Hey peeps, Happy Friday! It’s dreary and rainy here (but we really need the rain) and it’s a beautiful day anyway! And you know where I’ll be… inside crafting, lol! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I have another sample to share that I created for the Prickley Pear Stamps Spring 2021 Release! Be sure to check out the gorgeous array of new sketched florals, sweet praying Tess, and the tool-related stamps for masculine cards! They are all fabulous! I created a pretty ‘thank you’ note card featuring the gorgeous Sketched Florals – Rose stamp set colored with Karin Brushmarkers. I’ve had the Karin markers for quite a while and have only used them a couple times. They are water-based and the colors are so bold and beautiful! I really would love to learn to use them as watercolors with blending, etc. on watercolor paper… so I’ve made this a (hopefully) short-term goal! ;)

I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock along with layering panels from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, CutCardStock Pop-Tone Black Licorice cardstock, CutCardStock Habanero cardstock. I stamped the image from the Sketched Florals – Rose stamp set on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, hit it with the heat tool to set the ink, and colored it with Lush Green, Olive Green, Lime Green and Red from the Karin Brushmarker Pro 72 Marker Mega Box. I layered the panels, added the inner portion of the Shadow Words – Thank You die sentiment and adhered the piece to the card front. The finishing touch was the addition of several small white flat-back pearls.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with leftover strips of CutCardStock Habanero cardstock and CutCardStock Pop-Tone Black Licorice cardstock. I layered the panel on the Habanero cardstock and adhered it to the card base. Since this is a note card, I left the inside blank.
