I decided to do a “Thank You” card, figuring that many of the hoppers would choose to roll with the season and design for Thanksgiving.  I also took the opportunity to show off the new Stampin’ Up! Circle Card Thinlits Die along with an added gift card twist!

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

  • I heat embossed the pretty Dahlia (Regarding Dahlias stamp set:  Wood-Mount or Clear-Mount) for added dimension and shine.

  • I love the “wait for it” moment of opening the card and having the sentiment flip.  The “thank you” was cropped with the banner die included in the Circle Card Thinlits Die set.

  • STAY TUNED!  There’s a simple trick to widen cards created with the Circle Card Thinlits Die.  I’ll have a 1 Minute to WOW! Video Tutorial ready for you tomorrow to demonstrate how to do it along with measurements!

  • An added panel folds back on the card for a sweet gift card pocket.  The heart was cropped with a die from the Circle Card Thinlits Die set.
