All Squared Away meets Simply Succulent

 Thank you for joining me today!

A blast from the past with this DSP it's one of the first packs of paper I ever got and I still have a full pack, oops!

It's not as hard to do as it looks!

I watched a video using the basic borders and this idea sprung to mind, as I'm now going to be making lots of 'thank you' cards for Paul, it's now week 3 and the dinners are beautiful, even Dad like's them as much as he liked Sue's.

If you're new to my blog, the story is since the start of Covid we had Sunday dinner delivered every week from the lovely Sue, but she has now moved down to Devon and it's just a little too far away for Holly to deliver it every week 😞. So we are having our Sunday dinners on a Wednesday as Paul doesn't do Sundays.

Materials required for this card are:

Card Stock: basic black, very vanilla

Designer Series Paper: *mocha morning

Dies: basic borders, layering circles (4,5), potted succulents

Ink: soft suede

Ribbon: faux suede trim

Stamp Sets: all squared away, simply succulents 

Accessories: gilded gems

* = no longer available, when using layering dies (1) is the smallest
