This patchwork thank you card is so quick and easy and if you use the right double-sided paper, you can cut twice with the InLoveArts Patchwork Boarder die and make two cards, just by cutting one from each side. This Strawberry Slush floral paper from Stampin’ Up’s Floral Impressions designer series paper made this the perfect paper for this card.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Strawberry Slush card stock (2025-2027 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Floral Impression designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
- Impressions Abloom stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
- Strawberry Slush ink (2025–2027 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
- Patchwork Background Board die (InLoveArts)
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
From your Strawberry Slush card stock cut two card bases to 5 ½” x 8” and fold in half. This card base is slightly smaller than normal to fit with the die so you don’t have large borders. With your white card stock cut two pieces for the inside of your card to 3 ¾” x 5 ¼”.
Take your Floral Impression designer series paper pack and find the piece with Strawberry Slush on the back and the pink floral on the front. With this paper there is a direction, so you do need to pay attention to that (which I didn’t for the first ones I cut and you also need to pay attention to the direction of your die to see if you want the large panels at the top or bottom. Since I didn’t pay attention, my florals are upside down on one and the triangle is toward the bottom instead of the top on the other to get the direction right, but that isn’t bad. Cut once with the flowers up and another with the Strawberry Slush design up. You will now have two strawberry slush boarders and two sets of floral panels. Then use some scrap pieces of white card stock to cut out two of the center panel.
Adhere your Strawberry Slush panels to the front of each card base and then use your floral panels to fill in the panels, leaving the center panel open for your white pieces.
Take the Impressions Abloom stamp set and find the “Thanks So Very Much” or Thans for being there” greeting and stamp with your Strawberry Slush ink on your center panel, then adhere to the center of your card.
With the “I appreciate you” greeting and your Strawberry Slush ink stamp this on the upper center of each of your inside white pieces and adhere to the inside of your card.
See how quick and easy that was and such cut cards.
