Save you all working it out... and so easy to create...  Once you have the measurements, a template on hand... and the know how!

And so back to my frame tip, template and tutorial...
(1) Cut a piece of card to 8.3 x 5.3cm size (or 3 1/4" x 2 1/16")
(2) Die cut a Painted Labels notched label from another piece of card
(3) Use this label to draw round the notch on each corner of the sized piece of card
(4) Punch each corner with the 1/2" circle punch
(5) You have a template! Suggest you mark it up as such to avoid any future confusion!

(6) Cut your required card colour to 8.3 x 5.3cm size (or 3 1/4" x 2 1/16")
(7) Draw round the template for the notches on each corner
(8) Punch each corner with the 1/2" circle punch

Painted Poppies Thank You cards and Round up...

I realised that I hadn't used the wonderful wreath die cut image in the suite of 9 cards for which I am offering my Painted Poppies free Class in the Mail...

So I thought I had better make a Thank You card to provide some inspiration for using it...

And think this is my second favourite card out of the 25 Painted Poppies & Labels projects I ended up making!!!

So whilst they were all out I played around with a few colour combinations* and images from the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set (Yours for Free with a £45 purchase during Sale A Bration)

And a fun fact... Thoughtful Blooms is the best selling stamp set this year in the UK so far!

That co-ordinates with the Small Bloom punch (yours for free with a £90 purchase during Sale A Bration)

And here are the 9 cards included in the Painted Poppies free Class... 

Live in the UK? Fancy a class for free? Either here "at home" or in the mail... then simply order* the Painted Poppies bundle  (and don't forget to add a free Sale A Bration product as your order will be over £45... and my host code DUCCVEGD when you do) 

Orders in by tomorrow, 2nd March please... You will get a prepped class kit and written instructions for the 9 cards....

Alternatively  - for those of you that can collect and that have financial arrangements already set up with The Craft Spa... I am placing an order on 3rd March... and can add yours onto that! I will also include one of these cards!

* Colour combinations Daffodil Delight & Mango Medley or Grapefruit Grove & Calypso Coral with  Coastal Cabana & Bermuda Bay. Both of which were inspired by the Birthday Bonanza papers...

And greetings from Label Me Bold and Magnolia Blooms
