Friendly Foliage, Peaceful Garden, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a thinking of you card to share with you. I found it on Pinterest. You can see the original card by clicking here.  I followed the link but there were no measurements on how it was made, so I guessed! Please read on to see how I put this card together.

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

I thought this was a fun card to make because my plan was to use the "Friendly Foliage" bundle and when I saw this card on Pinterest, I thought it was great because I could use the "Peaceful Garden" Designer Series Paper (DSP). It's actually still available to order! I thought once the fall mini catalog was over the items were no longer available, but some are!  Nice!  Anyway, the strip on the right side was cut at 1-1/4" x 4-3/4" and the larger piece was cut at 3" x 4".  I taped the strip down first. It's about 3/8" from the right edge and the top and bottom edges.  

The larger piece of DSP was taped in place on top of the strip about 3/8" from the fold and 7/8" from the right edge. It is about 3/4" from the top and bottom edges. 

The image is from the "Friendly Foliage" bundle and was stamped using Secret Sea ink on Basic White card stock. It was then cut out using both dies from the bundle. One cuts out the outside edge and the other cuts the center pieces. It can be done together so save a step.

After cutting out the focal piece, I cut two of the open leafs pieces using Basic White card stock. 

I took some linen thread and wrapped it around my four fingers two times. I took a glue dot and pressed it on the thread after squishing it to form a figure 8.  I pressed the glue dot down onto the fron tof the card 

The words were stamped next using Versa Mark on a 2-1/8" x 5/8" piece of Secret Sea card stock. White embossing powder was put on top, shaken off and then heat set. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place over the linen piece.  And the card was done.

This was a very fun, quick and easy card to make. I do like it a lot. I was glad to use up more of that "Peaceful Garden" DSP.

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