September 22, 2023, Thanks CLR286 Stamps and PPRS-D286 Dies

Hey everybody! Happy Friday! The weekends sure seem to be coming around quickly these days! Leslie here, sharing another inspiration project featuring the new Thanks stamp set and coordinating Thanks die set! I created a mini slimline employing the raised inlaid die cut technique which I think always turns out so cool! These are amazing stamps and dies, and the large sentiment works perfectly for this technique and for a mini slimline card!

I cut a 3-3/4" x 6" mini slimline card base from ivory cardstock. I then cut a layering panel from a fabric look patterned paper, die cut the large sentiment from the Thanks die set into the center of the panel, and adhered it to the card front on double-sided foam strips. I stamped the Thanks sentiment from the Thanks stamp set in dark green ink on a piece of ivory cardstock and colored it with alcohol markers. I die cut it with the coordinating die and adhered it into the negative space of the panel on the card front. I stamped the remainder of the sentiment on an ivory cardstock scrap, trimmed it and adhered it beneath the sentiment. The finishing touch was stamping the dragonfly on an ivory cardstock scrap in black ink which I colored, die cut and adhered to the upper left of the sentiment.

August 21, 2023, Thanks CLR286 Stamps and PPRS-D286 Dies

Hey everybody! Well, another Monday has rolled around which means another weekend bit the dust! Hope you had a good one! Leslie here, sharing a tri-fold thank you card featuring the new Thanks stamp set and coordinating Thanks die set. It's been a minute since I made a tri-fold card and this one has panels on it rather than the typical slanted edge. I can't say enough about these stamps and dies. Everybody needs thank you cards in their stash and those with a large sentiment sure speak volumes!

I cut a basic tri-fold card base from ivory cardstock along with a layering panel from a floral print. I stamped the large sentiment, two butterflies and a dragonfly from the Thanks stamp set on ivory cardstock and colored them with alcohol markers. I fussy cut the letters and die cut the butterflies and dragonfly with the coordinating dies in the Thanks die set.

Using stitched oval dies in my stash, I die cut three ovals for each of the panels from ivory cardstock and additional floral prints, layered them and adhered them to the card base. I added the main sentiment to the first panel and stamped the remaining parts of the sentiment as well as leaf images (from the same stamp set) on the two subsequent panels. I embellished the front panel with a duplicate fussy cut floral image popped up on small foam pads and one of the butterflies, then added the other butterfly and the dragonfly to the other panels. The finishing touch was adding clear iridescent gemstones (colored with an alcohol marker) to each of the panels.
