Thank You (Painted Seasons / Well Written)

3.5K

Hi everyone, when I was making my Brother-In-Law’s birthday card (which you can see here), my partner was offering me creative suggestions and one of them was to create a frame and have the beer bottles pop through.  Whilst I didn’t end up using that idea at the time, it stuck with me and I really wanted to use it on another card.

To create the gingham frame, I used the new Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies on the Botanical Butterflies DSP.  I picked out the largest and the third largest of the dies and held them in position with some post-it note tape as I didn’t want the dies to shift as I ran them through the Big Shot.  Doesn’t it look effective? I kept the centre panel which was cut out for use on another card project.

While the Big Shot was out I also ran through the “thanks” and the “you” dies from the Well Written Die Set.  When diecutting intricate dies I like to make sure I apply Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets to the cardstock before I die cut.  This makes it so much easier to adhere the die cut pieces, especially when layering them as I did for the sentiment.

 Here’s the Card…

I used the Painted Seasons stamp set (which you can earn for free with a qualifying order during Sale-A-Bration).  I actually fussy cut out the images but there are now coordinating dies!!  YAY!  That would have saved me quite a bit of time.

I love the colour combination.  The Melon Mambo with the Granny Apple Green really pops against the gingham background.  I love this look so much and will definitely be returning to it in the future!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Hope you have a great day!
