Customer Thank-you Card and Weekly Updates!!

Hey crafty friends!! Today's project is my customer Thank-you card for December.  At then end of each month I send a thank you card to my customers that have made a purchase during the month.  Finally, after several attempts I have found my go to design for my monthly card, it focuses on the DSP.  Today it is Christmastime is Here DSP, a lovely paper that is timeless.  The colors give is a Christmas vibe, but the patterns are suitable for many occasions.


Card Measurements:
Mossy Meadow 4 1/4" x 11", score and fold at 5 1/2", plus 4" x 4"
Merry Merlot 4 1/8 x 5 3/8"
Whisper White 
Christmastime is Hers DSP 4" x 5 1/4"
Dies: 
Thank-You Dies


Tip:  For this type of die, I like to stack it and make it stand out.  Usually I do that by die cutting two of the same color and gluing them together.  Because this DSP background is a bit busy I die cut one in Whisper White and off-set die-cuts a bit when I glued them together.  A Wink of Stella also helps make the sentiment stand out a bit.

Sparkling Stars Christmas Card and PDF

Hey crafty friends!!  I can't believe we are 5 days into December.  Thankfully my Christmas shopping is complete, but my tree needs some work.  I am still creating Christmas cards.  My plan is to have all the cards in mail by the 13th.

Today's project features the So Many Star's bundle, focusing on the Stitched Stars Dies.  Which I am happy to share that the Stitched Stars Dies (150653) will be carried over at least until the end of May 2020 and hopefully longer.  Woohoo!!!

Card Measurements:
Night of Navy card base 11" x 4 1/4", score and fold at 5 1/2"
Whisper White layer 5 3/8" x 4 1/4"
Seaside Spray 4' x 8 1/2"  for die cuts 
Ink:
Night of Navy, Seaside Spray
Die-cut:
Stitched Stars Dies 
Stamps: 
So Many Stars
Artisan Textures
Free As a Bird (inside sentiment)

Download PDF Instructions for this card. 

Tip: To attach the larger star to card I used Foam Adhesive Strips (141825).  They worked perfectly to hold the star in place and it was easier than cutting up dimensionals.  The strips are great for making shaker cards as well.




Kit details: Makes 12 cards and envelopes,13 All Occasion Sentiments 
Card size: 4 1/4" x 5-1/2" (10.8 x 14 cm)
Envelope size: 4-1/2" x 5-3/4" (11.4 x 14.6 cm)
