Thank You card set

By: Stephanie Loomis, Artistic Guide

Finished card size: 5.5” x 4”

 When making multiples of the same card, it’s easier to set up an assembly line and do each step on each card at the same time. Pull together all the supplies and do all the cutting and stamping together. Then simply assemble and go!

Supplies:
Stamps:         
Box Words: “Thank You So Much” (The Angel Company)
Goodness of God: “Autumn” (The Angel Company)
Paper:                       
6 pieces white cardstock: 5.5” x 4” (Georgia Pacific)
6 pieces cream paper: 3” x 2.5” (unknown—I pull from my scrap box for small pieces like this.)
6 pieces Solid cardstock: 3.25” x 2.75” (Marco’s Papers)
6 pieces Patterned cardstock A: 6” x 2.25” (BoBunny)
6 pieces Patterned cardstock B: 6” x 2.25” (BoBunny)
6 pieces Patterned cardstock C: 6” x .5” (BoBunny)
 (All patterns should coordinate—using papers from a collection makes this easy.)

     Burnt Umber
     Orangerie
     Boudoir Blush
Other:
Adhesive of choice
Fiber (unknown)
