I used the Time Of Giving stamp set bundle from Stampin’ Up! to create a quick thank you card to share with you today.

My card design works for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge #TTTC125.  I went from lower left to upper right.

I started by embossing a panel of Soft Succulent card stock with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.  I adhered the embossed panel to the front of a Soft Succulent card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I cut a panel of Soft Succulent card stock with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I stamped the leaf image from the Time Of Giving stamp set in Soft Succulent ink across the panel.  I cut the rectangle into two pieces and then adhered the two pieces to the card front with Stampin’ Seal with about a 1/2″ gap between them.

I trimmed the ends of strips of Cork Specialty Paper and Harvest Meadow DSP at an angle and adhered the two panels to the card front (covering the gap between the background panel) with Stampin’ Seal.  Then I cut leaves from Sahara Sand, Calypso Coral and Bumblebee card stocks with the Giving Gifts Dies and adhered them with Glue Dots to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Time Of Giving stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then punched the end with the Banners Pick A Punch.  I adhered the banner to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then added gold pearls from the Metallic Pearls around the leaves and sentiment to finish the card front.

I stamped the leaf image from the Time Of Giving stamp set in Soft Succulent ink across the corner of a Basic White card stock panel to finish the inside of the card.

You can see a list of supplies used to create this project, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.

I’ve created a printable PDF with written instructions and a list of products used to create this project.  You can download, print and/or save it by clicking this image:
