Autumn Thank You Card with Polkadoodles

 Hi there friends!

Today's card is an Autumn Thank You Card with a hot beverage theme. The inside has a place to attach a gift card for their favorite coffee shop.

Don’t forget to join the Digi Choosday Anything Goes challenge over at Polkadoodles - we’d love to see what you create! You can use my coupon code for 10% off: PAULAPORTELLI at: Polkadoodles

I will say that I am thrilled to have switched over to Ohuhu alcohol markers. I previously had the original Spectrum Noir markers and I thought those were great. They are probably over 10 years old and I noticed some had changed their color over time but they still worked.The Ohuhu markers are beautiful and blend so well. I ended up buying the whole set after trying some. 

Supply list is at the end but my cutting machine is a Silhouette Cameo. 

Instruction: 

1.  Download and unzip the design files. 
2. Send the fox svg to your software for the cutting machine. 
3. Size it to fit a gift card that is 3.375 x 2.125 inches.
   
   
   
4. Create a polygon the same shape and size as the center section of the cup in the design.
5. Choose a pattern paper in the design file and drag it to the polygon. Scale or pan the pattern to be how you would like it to look. Set the polygon aside.
6. Draw a rectangle  4.2 x 0.88 inches. Fill this with patterned paper. Scale or pan the pattern to be how you would like it to look. 
   
   
   
7. Duplicate the cut border around the fox, but not the fox itself, two times. 
8. On one of the duplicates, add a sentiment from the sentiment set. Set it not to cut in the send panel. 
9. Using the Print & Cut feature. print then cut the fox and the inside piece with the sentiment on a heavy cardstock. Print and cut the rectangle and the polygon with patterns in the them but can be a lighter weight cardstock.
10. Cut the other duplicate. This doesn't have to be a heavier weight.
11. Color the fox design with alcohol markers.
    
    
    
    
    
    
12. Adhere the polygon to the center of the cup on the design.
    
    
    
13. Adhere the non-printed card panel to the back of the colored fox panel.
14. Score the panel with the sentiment at 1.5 inches from the top. 
    
    
    
15. Add glue above the line and adhere to the blank panel on the back of the fox. This creates the shaped card.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
16. Adhere the rectangle to the blank inside panel. Be sure the glue placement allows for a gift card.
    
    
    
17. Color the text on the inside. 
    
    You are finished!

CRAFT Challenge Blog #784

 Hi there friends,

The latest challenge over on the CRAFT Challenge Blog is "Thank you" or anything goes. The sponsor is Doctor Digi's House of Stamps. 

 I printed the design out to fit on an A2 card base. I colored with alcohol makers. I added some sparkly sequins. The sentiment is from Spellbinders Weekender kit. It is pricey and the sets will not be released individually but let me tell you, I love every piece of it. The sentiment is heat embossing in white. It has a die to cut it out but I just used scissors. Lastly it is mounted on a solid cardstock in green and then an A2 size card base. 

 I thought this would be such a fun thank you card to give to a host of a summer cookout. So funny. I will attach it to a bottle of BBQ sauce from a local restaurant. It's just the little things to enjoy in life.
