More Thank You Cards


Today I've got more quick Thank You Cards - all made with Hunkydory toppers.  This first one was this shaker card.  The background was created using a Spellbinder's embossing folder (3D 5 x 7 European Tapestry) - inked with two colors of distress ink (Seedless Preserves, Dusty Concord) to coordinate with the focal.  The greeting was cut from silver poster board, purple card stock, and white card stock.  These were layered with a slight offset to help them stand out.  The Hunkydory focal & frame were used with acetate & diamond painting drills to make the shaker part.



For the background of this card, I used an old HOTP paper that pulled out the greens in the focal.  The purple checked pattern (also from HOTP) was die cut with a Spellbinder's die set (A2 Tileworks).  You can't tell from the picture, but the border at the bottom is silver metallic poster board.  The 3 dots in the upper right corner are purple discs (gifts from a paper crafting friend).


For this card I cut a frame from the silver poster board (also using a die from Spellbinder's Tile Works).  The green background print is from a DCWV mat stack (not sure the specific one).  The focal is matted using a die cut piece (Spellbinder's Tear Drop Circles).  In addition to embossing that mat, I also highlighted the embossed dots using a silver Sharpie pen - then added a ribbon bow.  I added a ribbon strip for a border that the Hunkydory sentiment sits on.


Next up is an interlocking gate-fold card, made using a Hunkydory topper & frame.  The background paper & border strip are both old HOTP papers.  A gold metallic poster board strip finishes off the border.  Its finished off with 3 pink paper dots at the top left corner & a sentiment in the opposite corner of the focal.


Once again, I've used HOTP papers for the background - the dark purple is suede paper.  This is a cut-away easel card - with the easel part embossed with a Damask folder (Darice 5x7).


This is what it looks like when standing up as an easel card.
