So Thankful for You with Dies R US

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with an easy thankful card perfect to send out for Thanksgiving or as a simple thank you card.

I used light fall colors for this card.

Let's get started!

I started by die cutting the flowers from yukon gold and pumpkin orange cardstock. 6 in total - 4 yukon gold and 2 pumpkin orange. I die cut the center of the flowers from metallic copper cardstock, the sentiment from the light yellow ochre cardstock. The leaves I die cut from leftover Rinea Foil Paper I used for another project - I used some Tim Holtz Alcohol inks on the foil paper. I trimmed my card front panel from Kraft cardstock (4-1/4" x5-1/2") and I also trimmed some striped pattern paper(4" x 5-1/4")

I adhered the pattern paper to the kraft cardstock panel. I then set it aside to work on the flowers.

I use a pad (you can use a mouse pad or thick craft foam) under my flower and a stylus and curl the flowers upward towards the center. I then put a bit of glue in the center of the flowers and stack them making sure that the petals are all alternating.  Finally, I adhered the center of the flowers.
 

Then, I adhered the leaves to the card panel. I placed them in the left bottom corner. Next, I adhered the flowers overlapping the leaves. Making sure to place the Medium flower toward the bottom for some weight. Then, I adhered the sentiment to the top of the card. 
(below you can see a close- up of the leaves. I used reds and some green on the leaves)
 

For some finishing touches, I added some Jewels to the center of the flowers and in the upper right corner. I also added a yellow Heart to the card panel. I adhered the card panel to a white card base.

Now the card is complete!

Thank you with Dies R Us

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with another using some of the amazing dies that are available at Dies R Us.


Let's get started.

First let gather our Supplies:

Now, die cut the leaves from both shades of green card stock. Die cut the two smaller flowers from the medium orange card stock and the large flower from both the dark orange card stock and the holographic paper.

Since the holographic paper is to thin I am backing it with the dark orange card stock. to give it more body. you can use the medium orange card stock for this but I like the finish look it gives with the matching card stock. 


I add a bit of adhesive on the card stock flower then slowly place the holographic paper on top of it.


Next, adhere the kraft card stock layer onto the brown card stock card base. The start adhering the leaves and flowers onto the card front. I  decided to do this on the bottom left hand side.

I start with the leaves. I adhere the dark green ones, then layer the medium green on top. Next, I adhere the medium orange flowers by the leaves just over lapping the leaves.



 I place the larger leaves in the corner and add the holographic flower just above them. I add foam adhesive behind the large flower for some dimension.

  

Now, adhere the die cut sentiment "Thank you" to the card front. Next, it's time for finishing touches - Light Gold sequins and jewels


I layered the sequins and jewels for the center of the flowers. I first adhered the sequins in place, then put a bit more glue in the center of the sequin and  placed the jewels. 


Now, the card is complete - quick and simple. I like to die cut flowers and small sentiments like this from a variety of card stock and have them on hand for quick cards.
