So Very Much Moroccan Thank You Card—Janet Shinn created this pretty thank you card for a recent Too Cool Team swap.  It's a quick & easy card that can be easily duplicated, so you can make a whole bunch to keep on hand!

Background Basics—Janet started by adhering a 5-1/2" x 2-1/2" piece of Moroccan Designer Series Paper at the top of a Very Vanilla card base.  She added a 5-1/2" x 1/2" strip of another pattern from the same Moroccan DSP underneath.  Then, she tied some Emerald Envy Ruched Ribbon around the card front and tied in a double-knot for a faux-bow look.

Sweet Sentiment—The So Very Much "thank you" was stamped in Emerald Envy onto a 3-7/8" x 3-1/8" piece of Very Vanilla, then the second, smaller part of the sentiment was added underneath.  It's matted onto a 4-1/8" x 3-3/8" piece of Basic Black, then popped up with Dimensionals.

So Very Much Embossed Thank You Card—The So Very Much stamp image looks amazing when it's embossed!  I love it in any of the metallic embossing, but it's also awesome in white!  

Background Basics—I layered a 5-3/8" x 4-1/8" piece of the Inside The Lines Designer Series Paper, another one of the Sale-a-Bration items you can select for FREE, onto a Basic Black card base.  Then, I tied a 1/8" Melon Mambo Stitched Ribbon around the card front and tied into a double-knot.

Elegant Embossing—I stamped the So Very Much phrase in VersaMark Ink onto a 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" piece of Basic Black card stock, then sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and heat set with a Heat Tool until glossy & smooth.  It's mounted onto a 4-3/8" x 3-3/8" layer of Melon Mambo card stock, then popped up with Dimensionals.  I added three White Perfect Accents for a little shine.

►►Important Embossing TIP—Look closely and you'll see lots of little white dots on my embossed layer.  Does this ever happen to you?  It's residue embossing powder that is stuck on the card stock before heating, and it sticks permanently once it's heat set.  There's a simple solution to this frustrating problem—the Embossing Buddy!  Simply rub this handy little anti-static pouch over your card stock BEFORE stamping in VersaMark to remove static & finger oils that attract errant embossing powder granules.  It truly works like a charm…unless you forget to use it, like I did on this project!
