Good morning friends! I hope today is finding you well! Today's card is a quick and simple Thinking of you card. I used one of our current Sale-a-Bration stamp sets for this card. It's called "BY THE BAY". It's FREE with your $50 purchase, now through the end of March! We can all use this sort of card to have on hand at a moment's notice. It's good to make a few up ahead of time. So, let me show you what I've done!
I started with a Mossy Meadow card base cut at 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". I added a layer of Very Vanilla measuring 5 1/4" x 4".
The image you see here is actually two stamps that I've placed side by side. I originally thought of adding a splash of color, but then liked the simplicity of it as it is. Of course, you could add some color if you like. It would be pretty either way. :-)
I stamped "THINKING OF YOU" on Very Vanilla and then trimmed it down to just a bit larger all around. The Mossy Meadow layer behind that is just 1/4" bigger on both sides to make a nice mat layer. I used dimensionals to raise it off the card a bit.
I love this Copper Trim! It's so neat how you can use it "as is" like a ribbon, or you can stretch it out to make a nice mesh texture piece. You can see both in this photo. I liked how the copper mesh behind the sentiment gave the card just a bit more texture and color. Just a couple small strips of snail will adhere the mesh. The dimensionals on the back of the layered piece will stick to the mesh. I used a single glue dot to attach the bow, but you could use a touch of liquid glue if you wanted.
The card is simple, but pretty.
As you can see, the card doesn't require a lot of time. It can easily be duplicated multiple times in just a few minutes, so that you'll have some cards on hand when you need them. :-D
