I had a friend ask me to make up a set of thank you cards for her and thought I'd share with you the steps I took to make them using papers from the Authentic Gathering 6x6 pad.

Image

Materials
Image
2 sheets white card stock
1 sheet of the flower, one of the blue, one of the stripe and one of the ruler patterns.
String
Spellbinders Label 14 die

Step 1
Cut 3 card bases from each sheet of cardstock measuring 6.5x5.5 inches. Score, ink and save off cuts. I have made these to fit in some smaller envelopes that I have here.
Image

Step 2
Using 3 sheets with the blue pattern cut 6 3x5 pieces saving the off cuts.
Image

Step 3
Ink and layer onto card bases alternating the position of the strip and tie string around them.
Image

Step 4
Using the card off cuts cut out label dies. As I have cut them in half you can either cut three full ones or place the die over the edge of the card. Ink edges.
Image

Step 5
Attach the label over the strip and string using a bone score to run along the string lines to enhance them.
Image

Step 6
From the flower sheet cut out and 3d six flowers. Ink and add to cards.
Image

Step 7
Stamp greeting and add in some punched butterflies.
Image

If you use these steps to make up cards of your own we would love to see them and stay tuned as using some more papers from the same pad I have another card step post to share with you later on.
