Card Instructions:

Card Front

  • Take the base card (Thick Basic White Cardstock) and fold in half, using a Bone Folder to create a sharp crease.
  • Attach Lost Lagoon Cardstock to the base card with adhesive.
  • Using Tuxedo Black Ink, stamp the Peaceful View image onto pattern paper from the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (DSP). Use a stamp positioner for precise placement, as you may need to stamp multiple times for full coverage.
  • Die cut the stamped panel using the large die from the Textured Notes Dies.
  • Adhere the panel to the card front with adhesive.
  • Stamp “Thank You” from the Textured Notes Stamp Set with Tuxedo Black Ink onto Lost Lagoon Cardstock. Use one of the small circle dies from the Spotlight on Nature Dies to cut out the greeting.
  • Attach to the lower right corner using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Card Inside

  • Adhere a thin strip of the same DSP used on the card front to Basic White Cardstock.
  • Die cut using the largest die from the Textured Notes Dies and attach to the inside of the card.

Envelope

  • Adhere a strip of the same DSP to the envelope flap and trim to fit.
