Thinking of You Card by Juliana Michaels featuring Scrapbook.com Just A Note Stamp Set and Sunflower Die Set

JUST A NOTE BUNDLE

Scrapbook.com has created the Just a Note Bundle to bring awareness to Cards For Kindness®. This bundle include the Just A Note Stamp Set, the Birthday Celebration Sentiments II Die Set and the 6 x 8 Pinks Smooth Cardstock Paper Pad.

Whether you use this bundle to create cards to send to Cards For Kindness® or to send out yourself, this stamp set is a perfect addition to your stamp collection. I love the combination of flowers and sentiments and used it to create this Thinking Of You Card that I recently sent to mey sister.

My sister is an assistant principal and as with many who are in education, her job is demanding and stressful, but she loves the children and is driven to do everything she can to be the best she can for them. When she shared some of the challenges she was facing with the start of the school year, I was inspired to put together a package of sunshine to send to her with the hope that it would add a little cheer to her day. Included in the package I sent her, was a mix of yellow treats and self care items including lemon drops, lemon cookies and a yellow notepad that said hello sunshine. After I collected the items, I was then inspired to use the Just A Note stamp set to create a card to include in her package.

To create the base for this card, I used a piece of paper from the A2 Yellows Smooth Cardstock Paper Pad. I then trimmed a pale yellow piece of paper from the same paper pad down to 4.25 x 5.5 inches and stamped it light brown ink using the Creative Expressions Botanical Frames Stamp Set by Same Poole.

I die cut a piece of paper from the A2 Harvest Paper Pad using the Honeycomb A2 Plate Die. I sanded it lightly using a Sanding Disc and trimmed off the outer frame. I then adhered it to the card front.

Next, I used the Sunflower Die Set, Cozy Autumn Foliate Die Set, Delicate Leaves Die Set to cut yellow, green and brown cardstock from the A2 Yellows Paper Pad and A2 Harvest Paper Pad. I sanded all of these as well before I adhered them together.

As I mentioned earlier, I used the Just A Note Stamp Set to create the sentiment for this card. I stamped it onto a piece of pale yellow cardstock, cut it into a strip and then adhered it to the card. The final touch was the addition of some Pinkfresh Studio Matte Gold Metallic Pearls.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope this post inspires you to join the Cards For Kindness® initiative or send someone you know a card to let them know just how much they mean to you!
