Greenery Lane, Lovely Arrangements, Banner Sayings, Thank You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a thank you card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

I had some fun working with layers. The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it using the "Stone & Vine" embossing folder. I glued it to the front of the card and I set it under my stamping mat to keep it flat while the glue set.

Next I made the strips. I took a quarter sheet of Basic White card stock and taped some "Greenery Lane" washi tape to it.  Then I cut my strips. They measure 1-3/16" x 3-5/8".  You will want to keep them in order so when they go on the front of the card they will just look separated but you will still see all the parts. That probably doesn't make sense the way I worded it but trust me, you want to keep the pieces in order. 

I cut a 3-7/8" x 4" piece of Garden Green card stock and I taped those strips to it. I started with the left strip and then added the right strip. I save the center strip for last because it will help keep the spacing looking even. Then I glued this piece to the front of the card allowing equal spacing between the top, bottom and left edges. 

The greenery piece is from the "Greenery Lane" bundle and were cut out using one of the leaf dies on Garden Green card stock.

I stamped the words next. They are from the "Lovely Arrangements" bundle and were stamped using black Memento ink on Basic White card stock. I cut them out with the die from the "Banner Sayings" bundle. I cut a 1" strip of Garden Green card stock (the piece left over from cutting the layer for the strips) and I taped the word piece to it. Then I trimmed the edges with my scissors. 

I added a little tape to the stem area of the greenery piece and set the word piece in place over the top of it using Dimensionals and the card was done.

This was a quick and simple card to make. I'm still on the fence of whether or not I like it. I think it could use something more.

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