lauralooloo: Try These Three Thank You Cards with a Simple Die-Cut Sentiment {Featuring Simon Says Stamp}

I'm always looking for fresh inspiration for thank you cards, and today's simple die set called Showboat Thank You (brand new from Simon Says Stamp) is the perfect start to three different ideas for crafting up a special thank you card.

All of today's cards feature the Showboat Thank You die set from Simon Says Stamp. It's part of their BRAND NEW release, called Happy Camper, and you can check out the whole collection on their website today! (Yay!)

I paired this great new die set with the Just Sayin' collection from Spellbinders, also available from SSS. I love the fresh summer colors of the paper in this collection, and it pairs just perfectly with the Showboat Thank You dies.

I love a couple things about this thank you die set. First, the font is darling. Second, it cuts BEAUTIFULLY. And third, I absolutely LOVE that this sentiment is only two pieces. Unlike some die cut sentiments with lots of separate letters and fussy little pieces to reassemble, this set is easy peasy to line up the two words onto the die-cut background piece. That's a huge selling point for me, because I like QUICK and EASY card-making.

For today's last card, I used one of my favorite embossing techniques. To recreate this idea, cut strips of cardstock (or make use of all those scraps you've saved) and piece together to make your card front. (I adhere the pieces together on the back side with washi tape.) Then place that striped panel into an embossing folder and run through your machine. Lastly, adhere it to a card base and add the sentiment. (You can find another sample plus a tutorial on this blog post.)
