Winter Thank You Card Tutorial with Video

Winter cards don’t have to be complicated to be beautiful. This winter thank you card combines soft texture, cozy colors, and elegant details for a design that’s perfect for holiday appreciation, winter notes, or thoughtful handmade mail. The torn cardstock edge, embossed background, and subtle ribbon accents make this card feel extra special without being hard to create. I have a video for you below.

Card Assembly

1. Emboss the Layer
   Emboss the 5 1/4" x 4" Two-Tone Secret Sea cardstock using either the Beautiful Patterns or Lovely Stripes embossing folder.

2. Attach to Card Base
   Adhere the embossed Secret Sea layer to the front of the Old Olive card base.

3. Create the DSP Feature Layer
   Center and adhere the Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP to the Two-Tone Old Olive cardstock.

4. Add a Torn Edge Detail
   Tear the exposed edge of the Two-Tone Old Olive cardstock by pulling toward you, removing just a small amount so the white core shows through.

5. Wrap the Ribbon
   Wrap a length of Secret Sea Bordered Open Weave Ribbon around the top portion of this layer. Secure the ribbon ends to the back with adhesive.

6. Attach to Card Front
   Adhere this layered piece to the front of the card.

7. Stamp and Add the Greeting
   Stamp the word “thanks” from the Impressions of Bloom stamp set onto Old Olive cardstock with Cherry Cobbler ink. Punch it out using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch (I used about half of the punch). Tuck the greeting slightly behind the DSP layer.

8. Bow and Embellishments
   Tie a bow using the same ribbon and adhere it to the card front. Scatter Pearls of Beauty across the front to finish.

Inside of the Card

1. Stamp several pine boughs from the Delicate Pines stamp set onto the Basic White layer using Shaded Spruce ink.

2. Stamp the inside greeting from Impressions of Bloom in Cherry Cobbler ink.

3. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card.

Stamp a few pine boughs from Delicate Pines onto the envelope to coordinate with the card.

Celebrate Sunflowers - Thanks a Bunch

Hello, hello, welcome back.  My share for you today is a card I made for a team challenge.  My upline sent me a sample of the 5 new in colors and I was to make a card showcasing at least one of the colors.  I chose to spotlight Misty Moonlight and Bumble Bee.  I absolutely love the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle so made the big sunflower the focal point.  

Measurements:

Thick WhisperWhite: 8½ x 5½, scored at 4¼ for the card base

2020-2022 In Color designer paper: 4 x 5¼, 4 x ¾

Misty Moonlight: 3¾ x 5

Whisper White: 3½ x 4¾

Bumble Bee: 3¾ x 3¾

Instructions:

1. Using the Basic Patterns Decorative Masks, a sponge dauber and Misty Moonlight ink, sponge the polka dots onto the Whisper White layer.
2. Cover the back of the Misty Moonlight layer with an adhesive sheet and then using the outline die image cut out the sunflower.  Adhere the Misty Moonlight layer to the Misty Moonlight designer paper.
3. Stamp the greeting onto the sponged Whisper White layer at bottom center in Memento Black ink.  Adhere the Whisper White layer to the Misty Moonlight layers.
4. Adhere the designer paper strip across the center of sponged layer.  Then, adhere the sponged layers to the card front.
5. Stamp the large sunflower image using Mango Melody ink onto the Bumble Bee layer.  Cut with coordinating die.  Brush the petals with Clear Wink of Stella glitter.
6. Peel the backing off of the outline sunflower image and then adhere to the Bumble Bee sunflower.  Adhere to card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
7. Add some Cinnamon Cider enamel dots to the middle of the sunflower and then scatter a few of the Misty Moonlight enamel dots around the card front.
8. For the inside, stamp the sentiment in Mango Melody and the small sunflower image in Misty Moonlight.
9. Stamp the small sunflower on the bottom left corner of the envelope.
