I am playing along at CAS(E) this Sketch #178 and Seize the Birthday with a birthday card using some new Reverse Confetti stamps and dies. I didn't see a good place for a sentiment, so I stamped one inside the card.
I made a set of 10 thank you note cards for a friend who is recovering from a fall. I started with a box of pattern paper folded note cards, cut them down to A2 size, embellished them with various thank you die cuts of gold shimmer paper, and then put a strip of patterned paper on the inside and also the bottom of the envelope. I made 2 of each design.
I think it will be a very practical gift, as I imagine she will have many people to thank in the coming weeks.
I am entering this card set at Simon Says Monday where the challenge is to use patterned papers.
Thanks for Visiting
