I have been creating projects for my August class, and decided to use the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set and Dies for one of the cards. I got this layout idea from Mary Fish, but changed it up a bit to make it my own.

                      Wonderful Thoughts

Conditions where I live are beginning to feel like Autumn, so I chose colors that remind me of this short season before Fall.  I also wanted to incorporate the new Nested Essential Dies (love the combination of shapes!). 

It was a bit tricky to make sure I had enough of the paper design for each class participant because I only had 4 sheets of the 6″x6″ pattern I wanted to use, but I reduced the size of each paper element – successful outcome!

I love that there is a coordinating die for each of the many greeting stamps in the Wonderful Thoughts cling stamp set.  You simply stamp your greeting of choice, then crop it with the matching die – easy peasy!. 

Products I used to make this card are –

  • Stamp Set: Wonderful Thoughts
  • Paper: Very Vanilla; Lost Lagoon; Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper
  • Ink: Lost Lagoon
  • Other: Nested Essential Dies; Baker’s Twine Essentials; Tombow Multipurpose Glue; Stampin’ Dimensionals
