I used the Stampin’ Up! Joyful Season and Endless Thanks stamp sets to create a thank you card to share today.

My card design was inspired by Retrosketches #178.

I started by adhering strips of the Season of Cheer Designer Washi Tape (available Sept 1) around the top and the bottom of a panel of Whisper White card stock.  Then I wrapped a strand of Early Espresso 1/2″ Seam Binding Ribbon around the panel, adhering it with SNAIL, and I tied a knot.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a panel from the Into the Woods DSP (available Sept 1), then to an Early Espresso card base with SNAIL.

I stamped the tree branch image from the Joyful Season photopolymer stamp set (available Sept 1) in Early Espresso ink three times on a panel of Soft Sky card stock.  I stamped the outline of the bird in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, then the bird in Cherry Cobbler ink and the beak in Pumpkin Pie ink.  I cut the bottom of the panel with the scallop die from the Cutie Pie Thinlits die set and adhered the panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the banner image from the Endless Thanks photopolymer stamp set in Early Espresso Ink and the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  I cut the banner out, sponged the edges with Early Espresso ink, curled the ends up just a bit with my bone folder, then adhered it to the card front with SNAIL.

I pulled strands of Linen Thread through to Silver Basic Metal Buttons and tied small knots on the back.  I tucked the two buttons under the focal panel and adhered them with Glue Dots.

I stamped the bird images from the Joyful Seasons stamp set in Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Tuxedo Black Memento Inks on a Whisper White panel inside the card, then adhered a strip of the Into the Woods DSP.
