Thank you card with a double message...

 

I made this card recently, and it has a little message behind the butterfly on the front and also a message on the inside.

This photo shows the stamped message behind the butterfly wings. The wings come together to make a tiny gatefold card. I've long wondered what I could do with this die, as it makes a tiny card--not more than 2 1/2 inches square. 

Well, it occurred to me that I could put it on the front of a larger card. I punched a tiny hole in the center of each wing so that I could thread some gold string through and tie a bow to keep it closed. The string is a little stiff so my bow is kind of wonky, but I was okay with that.

While you can't really see it in the photos, there is some metallic gold in the DSP in the background, which is why I used gold string and gold metallic cardstock for the die-cut "thank you."

Here's a peek at the inside. I stamped another sentiment and added strips of gold and coral cardstock.

I was pleased with the design of this card. I thought the little butterfly card on the front added some interest. This card was donated to the thrift store and sold quickly, so I think someone else liked it, too.

I have finished making my personal Thanksgiving cards and have (once again) begun working on Christmas cards. I have 20 of them in process right now and hope to have them done by the end of the week.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
