Simply Said, Wildly Flowering, Thank You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a card to share with you that I found on Pinterest. I had ordered another package of this paper and it's sitting on my table waiting for me to finish the first package! It was on sale. What would you do? LOL You can see the original card here. I changed it a bit. I was looking for a quick and easy thank you card to make because I need to send a few out. There was no link to the original card so I had to wing it. Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Crumb Cake card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White for the inside and a 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" piece of Basic White for the top layer.

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the "Wildly Flowering" 12" x 12" package.  I cut the top piece at 3-1/4" x 3-3/8".  The piece on the bottom is the backside of the top piece and it was cut at 1-3/8" x 3-3/8".  I cut it that size because it was what was left from cutting the larger pieces. I could have trimmed it down to match the original card but I didn't want to have any waste. In doing that I had to use that area for the words instead of pearls. I taped the DSP pieces to the Basic White piece. 

I took some retired ribbon I had and taped the ends to the back and slipped a piece of ribbon under it on the front and tied a knot. I trimmed the ends. I like these kinds of knots because you can slide the piece across the ribbon and put it exactly where you want it on the front of the card.

Dimensionals were put on the back of the piece and it was set in place on the front of the card base. 

The words are from the "Simply Said" set and were stamped on a piece of Basic White card stock using Misty Moonlight ink. I cut them out using a die from the "Stylish Shapes" set. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.

A few pearls were added to the upper part of the card and the card was done. Now to write in it and get it sent off in tomorrows mail.

This design can be used for many other occasions too. I love these colors. It's got a nostalgic feel to it. Now off to ice my hip. There's still a tender spot but it's getting SO much better.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thank you card,
Wanda
