Peaceful Pier, Brushed With Beauty, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

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

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock.

I used a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Petal Pink card stock for the back layer.

A 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White card stock was cut for the front.

Using the 3rd and 4th stitched square dies in the "Stylish Shapes" set I cut the larger one from the center of the Petal Pink large layer piece. And I used the smaller one to cut the floral image from the "Brushed With Beauty" 12" x 12" package of Designer Series Paper (DSP). I taped these two pieces together. 

I laid the floral layered piece on top of the Basic White layer to see where I wanted the words would go.

The words are from the "Peaceful Pier" set and were stamped using black Memento ink. Then I textured it using the "Beautiful Pattern" embossing folder. I taped the embossed piece to the Petal Pink piece and then that was taped to the front of the card.

Dimensionals were added to the back of the square piece and it was set in place on the front of the card. I was able to follow the lines of the embossing because I actually embossed them perfectly straight. The square layered piece is about 1/2" from the fold and the top of the card.  And that was it. 

This card was super quick and easy to make. It's great for those small scrap pieces of DSP that I just can't seem to let go of. You never know when you need them! 

I think this layout would be great for a sympathy card or a note card. Depending what you put in the middle, be it DSP or a die cut image, you can use this for a number of other occasions!

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