I chose the Rococo Rose Specialty DSP and paired it with a card base of Rococo Rose, Basic Black DSP, Silver Foil Sheets and the stunning Metallic Mesh Ribbon. The sentiment is heat embossed with a silver foil layer.
After stamping with Versamark Ink I heat embossed with white embossing powder. I adhered these to silver foil I'd cut out with the larger die.
I then adhered my basic white cardstock, cut at 5 1/4" X 4" to a layer of black cut at 5 3/8 X 4 1/8" and adhered to the inside of my Rococo Rose cardbase - cut at 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4".

Our them is Thank You cards for our customers this month and I was inspired by the beautiful Love You Always Specialty Designer Series Paper.

I like to begin with all my supplies in front of me - I've cut out 12 dies from the center of 12 black pieces of cardstock cut at 5 3/8" X 4 1/8". The hole will be hidden by the designer series paper so this is a great way to conserve cardstock. Using my Stamparatus made it super easy to do 12 sentiments.

I am bow challenged! But I love bows, especially in the Metallic Mesh Ribbon! My solution is to make it a little easier for myself by attaching a strip of the ribbon, then threading a piece under and tying the bow. Here's how it looks, step by step.
Here I've got 4 cards to finish, what a pretty stack of cards to send to my customers this month.
I hope you are enjoying your hop today!
