Happy hello and welcome to the monthly International Highlights Blog Hop hosted by Kylie Bertucci out of Australia! Thank you Kylie!

The continuing theme is Thank You.

Thank You Card

This month I am sharing a card I created for my stamping group using a beautifully designed Stampin' Up! stamp set you will see in the newly released 2020-21 Annual Catalog. 

Introducing: Forever Fern!  What a gorgeous set and I bet you will love it too!

Inside of card

I used the stamp set images, two matching dies from the coordinating Forever Flourishing Dies and the really versatile embossing folder called Old World Paper 3D! 

Supplies Used

For now, please use what supplies you have on hand and, using the easy-to-follow instructions below, create a card of your own in thanks for someone special in your life! 😊😊😊

I hope this easy project sparked your creative mojo!

I also made a quick video if you prefer a visual aid (like I do).

  

Now for some more fun, you can go and look here at the other fabulous cards from the many other participants in this hop.  Enjoy!

Thank you so much for stopping by - see you next time!

How to recreate this card:
Cut:
Old Olive Cardstock base:  8 1/2" 5 1/2" (or 11" x 4 1/4")

• Score your card base in half 
• Another piece 5 1/4" x 4" and run through embossing folder

Magenta Madness Cardstock scrap:  for punch and cut in half

Very Vanilla: 5 1/4" x 4" for inside of card and

•  strip of 2 1/2" wide for greeting and stamped leaves

Cardstock Vellum: 4 1/4" x 3" for die cut leaves

Next:
1.  Run Old Olive mat piece through embossing folder.
2. Sponge edges with Old Olive ink.
3. Die cut your leaves with cardstock vellum and glue to embossed card front - making sure you only put glue to the parts of the vellum which will be hidden underneath the greeting.
2.  Stamp your leaves, greeting and inside of card with Old Olive ink onto the Very Vanilla cardstock pieces. Then punch or die cut out.
3.  Sponge all edges (optional if you prefer not to).
4. Apply the Magenta Madness punched shape to back of your greeting by first cutting shape in half and gluing each half to the backside of the greeting as shown in picture.
5. Glue on your stamped and die cut leaves to backside of greeting element.
6. Apply Stampin' Dimensionals to the back and attach to card base front over the glued down vellum leaves.
9.  Now add your bling - I used the 2020-2022 In Color Emamel Dots and the Metallic Pearls.

Whoo-hoo!  You made this card yourself!  Now go ahead and enjoy making a few more!
