Leave A Little Thanks

Hi Cardmaking Friends,

I am glad to be back with a new card design. This time, I used a brand new stamp and die set called Leave A Little Thanks by Papertrey Ink. It features graceful leaves with a few sentiments. There are so many things you can create with this set. It is a keeper!

I started with the basics – a card base and an A2-sized Rainforest green panel, plus a slightly smaller Bellini peach cardstock panel. I also cut a panel to match the Bellini one from stout vellum paper

The vellum panel was stamped multiple times using the various leaf stamps in the Leave A Little Thanks set. I used a combination of colors like Concord & 9th’s Grapefruit and Sorbet for the leaves, accented by Eucalyptus and Pistachio. Once the vellum panel was done, I added it to the top of the Bellini panel. Then, holding the two panels together, I embossed a pierced edge using the Concord & 9th Rectangle Frame Piercing die. This combination of panels was added to the front of the Rainforest panel and card base. To finish the foundational part of the card, I cut a white cardstock oval using the Spellbinders Essentials Stylish Oval die set, then added it to the top of the card front.

Next, I stamped a few sprigs of leaves using the same green Eucalyptus and Pistachio inks onto white cardstock. They were cut out using the matching dies and bundled together with a strand of thin twine.

I stamped the included ‘thank you’ and ‘you make a difference’ sentiments onto white cardstock using Rainforest ink, then cut them out using the matching dies.

The leaf bundle and the sentiments were mounted on the front, and a few gems were added for a touch of sparkle. And that completes my card for today.

I hope you enjoyed our creative adventure. Thank you for joining me, and I hope to see you next time. ♥
