Are you looking for an elegant thank you card? I was! We have a wedding to plan this year with my youngest son 🙂 I created thank you cards like this Geo Diamond Thank You Card to give at the rehearsal lunch. Using our Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets with the hot foil system, I loved how they turned out! Hi, Margie here today and let me share my process with you.
Geo Diamond Background
Following the instructions on my hot foil system, I used a gold foil sheet from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors. These foil packs are great as they have two sheets of five different colors and are packaged flat – no frustrating curled sheets! Depending on the pressure and the foil design, test before committing. Designer’s Tip: a sand eraser is your best friend if you have over-foiled areas.
Creating the Sentiment
Die-cut the sentiment with gold mirror cardstock for extra sparkle! Then die-cut its outline with vellum paper to finish and anchor the greeting. Usually, I place the Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6″ on the back of the mirror cardstock before die-cutting but I ran out. #Gasp!
I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser. If you run it through your die-cut words, it only hits the words and rarely leaves dots on the table surface below. If it does, rub them off. Designer’s Tip: Use the crease tool to press the words into the vellum outline for a firm adhesion.
Using the E-Z Runner® Permanent Fine Adhesive Dispenser (aka Vellum Runner), adhere the sentiment to the card panel.
Assembling the Thank You Card
Let’s put this Geo Diamond Thank You Card together! For a subtle lift, I used the Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft. because of its 1/32″ height (half of 1/16″). We also have Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft. which has a height of 1/16″. Add the panel to an A2-size (4.25 x 5.5 in.) white cardstock card base. To finish, I randomly placed sequins with the Adhesive Dots Mini.
I hope my Geo Diamond Thank You Card tutorial helps when looking for an elegant design!
Thanks for stopping by!
