You know how you sometimes get punch-out pages in card kits or paper stacks? They usually consist of images and/or sentiments to help with your cardmaking. I don't often use them, but when I wanted to make a couple of quick cards recently, I did.
The framed rectangle sentiment is a punch-out. I always carefully trim off the tiny connecting stubs that hold them in place on the page.
I die-cut the fancy rectangle with the pinpoint border and adhered it to the card front. Then I popped up the pre-printed sentiment with some foam squares.
To finish the front, I added a little bling.
I stamped a sentiment on the inside and added a strip of the DSP as a small embellishment.
This card features another punch-out sentiment.
This time I glued some gold and white glitter foliage die-cuts to the card front before adding the sentiment with foam squares.
Do you see the gold pearls I added as an embellishment?
I stamped the same sentiment inside this card and added a scalloped strip on the bottom. I wanted to mimic the scallops around the punched-out sentiment.
It felt so good to get all my Thanksgiving cards in the mail on Monday. And I was even able to send some early Christmas gifts to our kids.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

I'm like you I seldom use those preprinted sentiments . They worked really well here. I like the fancy label you used to highlight the sentiment. On the second one, those sprigs were just the right touch to accent the sentiment.
Both cards are beautiful but my eyes keep going back to the top one. I LOVE all the movement that card has.
These are beautiful Cheryl! Your layouts with those sentiments are perfect for showing off your gorgeous papers
