Someone Special .........Monochromatic Thank You

A few weeks ago during a Stampin' Up! Demo meeting I learned how to do the Bubble Technique and made this card and posted it to our Facebook meeting page.  As luck would have it I won a $40 prize for my card which was randomly drawn.  

For my prize, I chose the Special Day dies to go with my Special Someone stamp set I purchased earlier this year and this week I made a card with these awesome sets to send to Dale Hampshire and crew to show my appreciation for the gift. 

Last season when these were available as a bundle at a 10% savings, I debated and debated whether to buy them.  When I saw them again in the Annual Catalogue in June and all the cute samples folks had made, I decided to just purchase the stamp set. Once I started making cards with these images  I regretted not buying the dies as there are some pretty tiny images in the set.  When I won the $40.00 I knew exactly what I wanted to purchase.  Getting the Special Day dies was such a great way to round out my experience with this set and I'm totally grateful to my Canadian Direct Stamping group for giving me the opportunity to win them.

Here's my card:

I was looking for a clean and simple layout so I chose Jen Brum's sketch 459 at Freshly Made Sketches.   

I decided to do a monochromatic card again so for the two diagonal strips I chose the Sahara Sand DSP Classic Christmas 6 x 6 paper pack.  This designer paper is part of the soon to be released Curvy Celebrations promotion and will be available to everyone on November 3rd, 2020.  I know I'm going to be ordering another package because I'm totally in love with the clean look of the design and the teeny tiny images on this paper.

I've been using a One Sheet Wonder template I found on Pinterest that was originally designed by Leanne Gref, but has been making the rounds through other folks.  Part of the cutting template is a 3 x 4 inch diagonal cut, which worked perfectly for this card.  Here's what the template looks like:

Supplies:

Stamp Sets: So Sentimental #151691 for inside sentiment "I Can't Thank You Enough" and Special Someone #151643 for Raccoon and sentiment "Thank You"

Please leave me a comment if you like this card.  I'd love to hear from you.  

Happy Stamping!
