Colorful Pen Pal Thanks with Dana

Hello friends! It’s Dana here today and I am back with a “school” themed card that uses the Pen Pal dies. When the Love Letters P.S. Collection was released, I was thinking about Love and Valentine’s Day… though when I was deciding on my card for May I realized a lot of the products could also work for teachers or be considered school related. My youngest daughter is a special ed teacher and she is always raiding my stash for thank you cards that she can use for work, so she was my inspiration for today’s card.

I started my card by using the Pen Pal dies to create my pens. I die cut the pieces in a rainbow of colors using both solid cardstock and patterned paper. I then assembled the pens with liquid glue and set them aside. Next, I used the Crimped Frame die to die cut my card panel from white cardstock. I then stamped my companion sentiment (a note to say) on the left side of the panel with the Scripted Sentiments stamp set. I attached my pens to the panel in rainbow order with foam adhesive to give them a little extra dimension. Lastly, I used the Typed Greetings dies to die cut my Thanks sentiment and attach it to the center of my card. 

Thanks for joining me today. I hope I inspired you to create some end of the school year and thank you cards of your own. 

Enjoy your day,

Dana
