Thank You card using the Simply Elegant Suite

 Hello fellow stampers, crafters, and friends!  I hope your day is cheerful and full of fun crafting!  Today I am here to share with you a very simple, yet beautiful thank you card.  I made this using the Simply Elegant Suite that recently came out in our new annual catalog.  I just love the gorgeous papers!  I don't use Merry Merlot very often, but it was on my mind on my drive home from work and so I went with it- and I like it!

Let's go ahead and make the card!

How To: 

Cut (and fold) your papers according to the dimensions listed below.  Now we stamp!  Stamp on the card base in Merry Merlot using the long border looking stamp along both the left and right side of the card.  Set the card base aside and stamp the "All the things you do are simply amazing" sentiment on the small very vanilla scrap, trying to keep it towards the bottom, but not all the way at the bottom.  Now stamp the inside very vanilla panel with the following: Merry Merlot borders on each side, like you did to the card base. A Basic Gray "Thank you" sentiment in the center, and the small image that reminds me of half a butterfly in Merry Merlot at diagonal corners of the sentiment (see image).  Go ahead and adhere the inside panel with you Stampin Seal and adhere the DSP to the front in the center.  Snip any extra DSP off.  Use the punch that comes in the suite to punch the sentiment that is on the very vanilla scrap.  (See image or video).  Place mini stampin dimensionals on the back of the sentiment and place it on your card.  You can tie your box onto the little notch on the sentiment piece either before or after adhering it to the card base.  Finally, using Clear Wink of Stella, do bit of smacking/spritzing to give the card a bit more glam.  Be careful not to get too much, like I did!  HA!  Your card is now complete!











Dimensions:

* 8.5" x 5.5" Merry Merlot card stock, folder in half at 4.25"
