Using Freshly Made Sketches layout, I created this Thank You card. I LOVE using Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Paper (DSP)! I chose Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. The colors are beautiful but not overstated and perfect for this time of year. There are 48 sheets: 4 each of 12 double-sided designs. Coordinating colors: Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink, and Pool Party. See ALL the patterns by clicking HERE!
I LOVE using layout sketches to help start my creativity process. Next I choose which DSP I want to use for my project and then I start brainstorming. Honestly the Inked Botanicals Suite Collection helped me to create a perfectly, simple Thank You card! I kept my card SIMPLE to help show you that anyone can make this card. Plus I love to make simple cards!

Putting It All Together
I used Crushed Curry cardstock for my card base. Cut the 6″ x 6″ DSP in half to get two 3″ x 6″ pieces. Use the other piece to make another card. Cut the 3″ x 6″ piece to 5″, in other words cut 1″ off the bottom. You can do this before or after you cut it in half. Use the leftover 3″ x 1″ piece but turn it over to the other side. Adhere the pieces onto your card base with Multipurpose Glue.
Using the Inked & Tiled Cling Stamp Set, ink up the floral stamp (the one that matches the DSP, see image below) and stamp off before stamping onto Very Vanilla cardstock for the circle sentiment table. I used Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry Stampin’ Ink Pads for the floral images and Memento Tuxedo Black for the sentiment, also from the stamp set. I used the 2″ Circle Punch, Online Exclusive, to punch out the sentiment label and then I stamped the sentiment onto the label. FYI, I use a stamping tool when I stamp. Last but not least, I added Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon using Stampin’ Up!’s Mini Glue Dot.
