Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts Congratulations Card

Good Morning! It’s Graduation season and I always like to make feminine Congratulations cards for the young ladies getting diplomas and degrees. With all the pretty new floral designer series papers that have just come out, there are so many fresh options to use with the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamp set and dies for a quick card or gift card holder. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I folded the 1-1/4″ end of the Darling Duckling card base to the inside and adhered the ends with Tear-N-Tape to make a pocket for a standard gift card.

I adhered a panel of the Floral Impressions DSP to the dark side of a Garden Green two tone mat and adhered it to the front of the card with liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamp set using Pecan Pie ink on Basic White and cut it out with the coordinating die. I cut the large background die from the light side of the Garden Green two tone card stock and adhered the word to the background. I adhered Darling Duckling ribbon to the card with Stampin’ Seal and popped the layered label on top with dimensionals. I finished with three pearls.

For the inside of the card, I adhered a panel of Garden Green Floral Impressions DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamp set using Pecan Pie ink and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love how the inside panel DSP trim peeks out when the card is closed. The coordinating word stamps and dies in the Stampin’ Up! Wonderful Thoughts stamps and dies make the gift card holder both easy and fancy. And the wonderful floral and coordinating geometric patterns in the Floral impressions DSP makes it pretty!
