Thankful Thoughts Square Card

I had a piece of square DSP leftover and I was trying to decide what to do with it and I thought what better to do with it than make a square card! I enjoy creating cards outside of the standard size and I always feel like they can be on the simpler side. I hope this inspires you to create other sizes of cards.

Supplies

1 - 8 1/2"x 11" sheet of Basic White cardstock

1 - 3 3/4"x 3 3/4" piece of DSP

Scrap piece of Basic White cardstock

Scrap piece of Blue cardstock

Forever Greenery Gold Trim

Thankful Thoughts stamp set

Memento Black ink

Layering Circles dies

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Instructions

Take the sheet of Basic White cardstock and cut it down to 4"x 8", then score it at 4" on the long side. I then adhered the DSP to the front of the card.

I then found the 2" circle die from the Layering Circle dies and cut it out of the Basic White cardstock. You can always stamp the image or sentiment before you die cut it. But I chose to stamp it after I die cut and I chose a sentiment from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set and I used Memento Black ink to stamp it.

I then found the coordinating scallop circle die. I didn't want a lot of scallop showing so I chose the one that fit the closest to the circle I cut out. I then die cut it out of the scrap piece of Blue cardstock. I then adhered the the white circle on top of the blue scallop circle.

I then placed Stampin' Dimensionals on the back of the circles. I cut a length of gold trim and wrapped it so that the loops popped out from behind the circles on both the top and bottom. I then adhered that piece to the bottom left corner of the card front.

Step It Up

Instead of making a ribbon nest behind your sentiment you could run a strip of ribbon behind the sentiment but wrap it around the piece of DSP.

Some enamel dots or pearls would also be a cute addition to this card.

Let me know what you think of this card in the comments and let me know what you would like to see next.

Happy Paper Crafting!
