Hand-stamping is a great way to add a personal touch to your handmade cards. With phrases for thank you cards, happy birthdays, love, congrats and more, the Matching Borders & Focals set gives you options for any occasion. Recreate LeNae's card with her original thank you theme, or use any of the other phrases to change the theme to anything you'd like!

Instructions:
For the Card Front:
- Place the card with the fold at the top. Glue a 7/8"-wide strip of Bubbles/Circles paper 3/8" from the card fold and a 1 1/4"-wide strip 3/8" from the bottom of the card front. Glue a 1 1/4"-wide strip of Brown Lace paper centered between the two Bubbles/Circles strips.
- Stamp the “thanks” border four times surrounding the paper strips, alternating between blue and brown ink.
- Fold a large brown flower in half and attach a small blue flower to it using a brown flower brad. Zot™ the folded flower with the flat edge even with the left edge of the card front.
- Stamp the word “thanks” (from the phrase “thanks a bunch”) in brown on white cardstock. Stamp the flower above “thanks” in blue. Crop the stamping to a tag shape and mat on Brown Lace paper. Trim the mat to 1/16" and punch a hole in the tab. Run embroidery floss through the hole. Loop the floss around the silk flowers' flower brad and glue the tag in place on the card front.
For the Card Inside:
- Glue a 7/8"-wide strip of Brown Lace paper across the bottom of the card inside. Stamp the “thanks” border above the strip in blue.
- Add a brown brad to a large blue flower and Zot™ it to the left end of the stamped border.
- Stamp “thanks a bunch” in brown, centered at the top of the card inside.
