Sending Positive Thoughts; love this new stamp set!
This Positive Thoughts stamp setseems to be a 'sleeper' to some people but it caught my eye right away! Everyone asked where the stamp set was when they saw my cards.
I knew I could make pretty cards with the images; the leaves, flower and feather are perfect with lots of fine details. But the greetings; they are some I will definitely get a lot of use of.
This soft, botanical card is one I made for an online swap I participated in. I used Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock and of course the pretty Petal Pink. The new champagne rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon was color inspiration.
I also used the new Stitched So Sweetly dies; my top pick in the entire new catalog! See them here.
The inside 'box' that pops up the scalloped rectangle layer is adhered to both the side and back of the card. It folds flat when mailing but sure adds nice dimension when the card is opened.
I was surprised to see the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper back in stock. It was unavailable last week but it's back now. I featured it in one of my July card kits to go. See it here online.
I added a few die-cut trees on the right side. I colored them with Blends markers – adding brown and Gray Granite to the white. The greeting is from the Lasting Joy stamp set.
The Gray Granite card base is a simple 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". Then you cut up to the score line at the 1 1/4" mark on front; on both sides.
I added designer paper to the center panel and also to both side panels. The horizontal piece 'spans' under the to side panels like this:
This card was included in both my PDF tutorial and the pre-cut card kit to go; each card is a fancy fold. I have just two kits left. You can see them both here along with other kits and tutorials.

I call it the 5 at a time technique. You stamp one sheet of neutral paper and then cut it into 5 pieces using my template below. And the neat thing is the layers under the stamped White card stock are also cut using a template. Just 2 sheets of card stock to make 5 card fronts! *Watch the video below or click here.
See how I stamped down the center of the White card stock on the photo above? Next I cut it using the template below:
The first template is what you stamp on. The one below is for the layers under the stamped pieces. It's just 1/8" larger for a nice thin layered accent.
