I don’t send nearly enough thank you cards … how about you?? I think letter writing, in general, is a lost art. I was at my book group last night and we were reviewing “The Correspondent” by Virginia Evans. The entire book is made up of letters and emails to and from the main character (LOVED it!). I decided I am going to be better about sending actual mail to people!
This week we are focusing on “thank you” cards. Let’s get to it!
I have to say that Hydrangea Hue is my new favorite SU color. This picture doesn’t really do it the justice it deserves … it’s GORGEOUS!
I haven’t done anything with acetate (window sheets) in FOREVER, so I decided to make a “window” card.
I cut a piece of window sheet to 4”x5.25”. I embossed it using the 3D Eyelet Embossing Folder (YES, you CAN embossing window sheet!) and placed it behind the opening I created using one of the Everyday Arches Dies.

As I was diecutting the flowers using the “Help Me Grow” Dies, a few landed on my card front … and I was smitten! I cut lots of little Hydrangea Hue flowers and glued them to the card front to give it a 3D sort of effect. SO pretty!
I also sponged the edges of the leaves on the plant with a little bit of white ink …
I added a smaller, white arch diecut to the inside of the card for adding a message … I love how this one turned out!
