A flippy fold and delicate gold thread add dimension and texture to a simple thank you card. The Round Eyelet Circle Frames look great “as-is” – but wrapping or stitching them with twine, embroidery floss or metallic thread makes a card stand out in a crowd. The versatile dotted and striped prints are from the Poppystamps Birthday Fun 6×6 pack. (That link isn’t available right now – I’ll attach it when it’s fixed.)
Prep the two smallest Round Eyelet Circle Frames by rubbing them briskly with scrunched waxed paper to help release the tiny offcuts. Cut the frames from the dark peach Blush Solid Core Cardstock 6×6. Tape gold metallic thread securely behind the larger circle and wrap a double strand of thread around the scallops. Securely tape and trim the extra thread on the reverse side.
Cut the light peach Blush 6×6 with the 2 Circle Basics dies that are slightly smaller than the Round Eyelet Circle Frames. Layer the plain circles behind the eyelet circles for contrasting color.
Cut a 3/4″ x 3-1/4″ strip of the peach and gold-dotted Poppystamps Birthday Fun 6×6. Cut a 3/4″ x 3-3/4″ strip of the peach and gold-striped Birthday Fun 6×6.
Cut a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of white cardstock. Score it at 3-1/2″ and 6-1/4″ from the left edge. Attach the strips and Circle Frames. Add a Thank You Foil Greetings Black Circle Tab.
Cut three circles of the peach and gold-dotted Birthday Fun 6×6 with the 1/2″ Circle Basics die. Attach them near the right edge of the card. Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.
