A SIMPLY THANK YOU CARD USING THE TIME OF GIVING STAMP SET

 Hi Stampers!

Wow! Can you believe it is August? Summer is flying by, but there are still plenty of warm sunny days left to enjoy. August always makes me think of yellow, because my sunflowers, black eyed Susan’s, and marigolds really brighten up the yard and garden. The arrival of August has inspired me to use a color I have been ignoring - Bumblebee. It is a nice golden yellow, perfect for August. I used an image from the TIME OF GIVING stamp set which will be available for purchase tomorrow (3August) from the Stampin’ Up!®️ July-August 2021 Mini Catalog.

Here is a look at my card:

And here is a look at the stamp set:

I used a couple of techniques making this card. I used a masking technique for the focal point. (See my 16 June 2021 post for instructions.) To add texture to the focal panel’s mat I used my scoreboard and stylus.

SUPPLIES FOR THIS CARD:

* Card base - Bumblebee 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored and folded at 4 1/4”

* Sahara Sand cardstock cut at 5 1/4” x 4” for focal panel mat

* Basic White cardstock cut at 4 3/4” x 3 1/2” and one piece cut at 5 1/4” x 4” for inside the card

* Printer paper or other thin paper cut at 4 3/4” x 3 1/2”  and washi tape or other low tack tape for mask

* Inks - Bumblebee, Sahara Sand, and Balmy Blue

* Blending Brush

* Layering Circles Dies - 2 5/8” diameter

* Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon - about 14”

* Simply Scored Scoring Tool (score board) or use the scoring blade on the paper trimmer

* Adhesive of choice

*Time of Giving stamp set and Biggest Wish stamp set for the greeting (Annual Catalog)

ASSEMBLY:

* Use the circle die to cut a circle from the printer paper. Center the die about 5/8” from the top of the paper. This is the mask. 

* Place the mask over the Basic White cardstock (4 3/4” x 3 1/2”) and secure with the washi tape

* Add color to the unmasked portion of the card (the circle) with the Balmy Blue ink and the blending brush

* Stamp the wheat image with Sahara Sand 3 times along the bottom of the circle. 

* Remove the mask.

* Stamp the “thanks” with Bumblebee above the wheat images, toward the right of the card

*Wrap the Bumblebee gingham ribbon around the card just below the image and tie a bow

* Place the Sahara Sand cardstock on the score board or paper trimmer and make a score line at every 1/4”. Trim the cardstock to 5 1/4” long and trim 1/8” off each side making it 4” wide

* Adhere the focal panel to the Sahara Sand mat

* Adhere this piece to the card base

* On the remaining Basic White cardstock stamp the wheat image 2-3 times with Sahara Sand ink in the lower left corner of the cardstock, and adhere this to the inside of the card

That is all for today. Thank you for stopping in. Until next time…

Stamp Happy!
