Basic White Card Stock — 5 1/4″ x 4″
Instructions:
Using Evening Evergreen ink, stamp off first to lighten ink tone, then stamp fern leaves in bottom right corner of the 5 1/4″ x 4″ white card base.
With Garden Green ink, stamp the large leaf at full strength.
Using Calypso Coral ink, stamp off first to lighten ink tone, then stamp smaller leaves behind larger leaf from step above.
With Pale Papaya ink, stamp off first to lighten ink tone, then stamp newstype works in open white space in upper left and lower right images of stamped leaves.
Using Evening Evergreen ink, stamp sentiment in upper left white space of card front.
Attach stamped sheet to Thick Basic White Card Stock Base.
Embellish with Champagne Rhinestone Jewels.
The card above features the heat embossing technique to create a handmade thank you card.
I used the Vellum 12 x 12 Layering Designs, some of the Tropical Layers Dies, and a tag from Stylish Shapes (a brand-new die cut set coming soon) to create the birthday card above.
These treat packets also use supplies from the versatile suite.

My featured card uses the Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo color combination. I heat embossed the smaller “open” leaf with White Embossing Power and die cut each of them. I also included a layer of the Vellum 12 x 12 Layering Designs.
This card measures a little bit different than our regular cards. For this one, cut the base card stock at 8 1/4″ x 7″ and score at 3 1/2″. When you create this slimline card, be sure to order Stampin’ Up’s Slimline Envelopes. You get 15 envelopes for $10.00 (Soft Succulent, White, and Smoky Slate.)
