A thank you card

It's coming up to Thanksgiving time in the USA, and that means there are lots of challenges around at the moment with "Thank you" related themes.

Here in the UK, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving, so I've made a generic thank you card. I picked this pretty butterfly card out of my snippets box - it's embossed, glittered and very tactile - and then found snippets of various colours of card to match the colours in the design.

The sentiment is cut with a Die-Versions die and the plain and fancy ovals with Spellbinders, all using the Grand Calibur. The words are backed with Stick-it - do any of you find the adhesive isn't terribly strong? You can see how the word "thank" slipped slightly while I was taking the photo - I've now straightened it and stuck it down more firmly!

I added some pretty ribbon and hand-doodled the border using a sparkly gel pen, although the sparkle doesn't show in the photo, and finished off with tiny butterflies punched from the very last scraps of coloured card.

    What a happy thank you card Jane! Such pretty colours and a lovely design too.

    I'm with you about the Stick-It adhesion properties, I think the packaging actually says that it's moveable when first stuck onto things but then with firm pressure, and waiting a little while, it 'sets' more firmly. I do find it great for the intricacy of words but if (say) I layer up three word die cuts for dimension then I usually add some glue pen to the very first layer rather then Stick It. And, much as I love the stuff, it can work out expensive if you use it for anything other than intricate dies - tee, hee - and I trumpeted its virtues over in the Playground didn't I?!

    Hope all is well with you - I'm spending a fair old bit of time blog hopping and want to catch up on your brilliant recipes and Mark's really great blog too :)

    Hugs

    Di xx
