Thoughtful Wishes, Thoughtful Journey, Simply Said, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a "thinking of you" card to share with you today. I found it on the internet and I did make a few small changes. Please read on to see how it was made.

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

A 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Misty Moonlight card stock was cut and then textured using the "Distressed Tile" embossing folder. I glued it to the front of the card.

Next I cut the Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Thoughtful Journey" 6" x 6" stack. I cut my piece at 2-1/8" x 4-1/2". The Fresh Freesia layer behind it was cut at 2-1/4" 4-5/8" and the DSP strip was taped to it.

I die cut the leafy image on the side using another piece of DSP from the same package. The die is from the "Thoughtful Wishes" bundle. I turned the tree strip over and added a line of tape on the back and then turned it over so it was face up and then pressed it down onto the die cut piece. Then the piece was glued to the front of the card. I only used glue on the layered piece.

The words are from the "Simply Said" set and were stamped using Versa Mark on a scrap piece of the DSP that was from the cutting the tree panel.  It's great when you can use scraps, isn't it? I sprinkled white embossing powder on the words and heat set them. Then I cut them out using the dotted rectangle die from the "Everyday Details" set. I set the piece in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals. 

I added a couple of "Faceted Gem" on the front and get this, they are currently in the catalog!  I was just as surprised as you! LOL

This was a fun and quick card to make. It looks like it could be used for other occasions like a sympathy card, a get well card and even a masculine birthday card,  I like how it turned out. I had made two at the same time since I was cutting the DSP I just cut the trees from the other side and was able to get two cards from the one sheet. Plus there's a little strip left from the center of the image and I might use that for a future card.

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