Sophisticated Thanks

A few weeks ago, James and I were invited to his office holiday party which was held at one of the owner's homes.  We had such a great time.  Now that I am all done and caught up with Christmas stuff, I decided I needed to take the time to make a nice thank you card for the hosts.

I stated by making a 5 by 5 Square card.  The paper is new and from Teresa Collins Carolina Breeze. I love this collection.  The frame is cut from Cricut cartridge Teresa Collins Sophisticated at 4.18 inches. The matting behind the card is cut at 4.75 by 4.75 inches.

Next I chose one of the pre-cut die cuts from the paper bundle and stamped this sentiment from Pink By Design Home Sweet Home collection.  In my opinion this sentiment set is a must own.

On the same die cut sheet came several 12 by 12 borders.  I folded this one into a rosette and added a rhinestone to the center.

Then I took a small strip of tulle approximately 4 inches by 6 inches and folded it into a pleat.  Then I used the Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher and put a staple in the center.  

I fanned out the pleats. I then hot glued this to the back of the rosette.

This card has such sophistication. The colors are even more beautiful in person.  If you can find this collection , BUY IT. You will not be disappointed. I hope you have a creative day!
