I used the Picnic With You stamp set bundle to create a fun thank you card to share with you today.

My card design was inspired by SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge #40.

I started by embossing a panel of Pool Party card stock with the Simple Stripes Embossing Folder.  I adhered the embossed panel to the front of a Pool Party card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue, then cut a panel of Real Red card stock with a Stitched Shapes Framelits die.  I embossed the die cut circle with the Basket Weave Embossing Folder (part of the Blossoming Basket bundle – Sale-a-bration item) and then adhered it with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the card front.

I cut a panel of Whisper White card stock with the same Stitched Shapes Framelits die and adhered it with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the card front.  I wrapped a strand of Linen Thread around it twice and tied a bow and then cut a panel of Wild Wasabi card stock twice with the border die from the Picnic Basket Builder Framelits Dies.  I adhered the die cuts together with a touch of SNAIL, then cut them with the same Stitched Shapes Framelits die.  I adhered the die cut pieces to the circle on the cardfront with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the images from the Picnic With You photopolymer stamp set in Sahara Sand, Wild Wasabi, Real Red, Pool Party and Bermuda Bay inks on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  I cut them out with the matching Picnic Basket Builder Framelits Dies and then stamped the sentiment from the Picnic With You stamp set in Soft Suede ink over the basket.  I adhered the pieces together with Glue Dots and then to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I added three random Rhinestone Basic Jewels to finish the card front.

I stamped the images from the Picnic With You photopolymer stamp set in Wild Wasabi, Real Red, Pool Party and Bermuda Bay inks on a panel of Whisper White card stock panel inside the card.
