Hi friends!
you will all laugh, but I had my own sunshine card all set and ready to go, but after Geri and Clare’s beautiful cards this week, I thought I’d save it until next Saturday
Great minds think alike, I guess! Instead, I created this for you:

Even though I haven’t moved, don’t plan to move, hate the thought of moving, I created a thank you card for the newly-relocated, recently-gifted person. A new house thank you card.
I used PTI’s barn die to create my folded card, but chopped the barn roof so it looked like a regular house roof instead.
I embossed the home with a striped embossing folder – I thought it looked a little cottag-y that way, like wood planks all across the front.
The roof was the only tedious part of the project: I cut strips of paper with a scallop paper punch, and adhered them, starting at the base of the roof and working my way up. Before adhering them, I sponged all of the edges – I love the dimension that gives the paper.

The sentiment, (from the thanks stamp set) is one big panel – isn’t it cute? I colored in all of the squares (thank you for… the gift, being you, everything) but I added glossy accents to the square that reads: everything. It’s much more obvious in real life, and a nice way to accent the panel you want highlighted most of all.
I hope you like it! Have a great weekend!



Elena this is simply adorable! I love the work you put into the roof, well worth your effort. The embossed panel is perfect and the strips of washi a cute cottage touch!
Beautiful card! I love the roof and that sweet sentiment panel! Great idea to add the glossyness to the everything!
Elena, this is too sweet!! The embossed stripes are perfect, and the little heart and shabby washi are the perfect finishing touches!
