Australiana Thank You Cards

Hi there and welcome to addINKtive designs. Today I’m sharing some Thank You Cards that I made after receiving a special request from my local pastor.

They have an Australian theme with a tiny little die-cut of Tasmania on the label of each one because they were made for our local candidates who are vying for a seat in the Legislative Council in our local electorate of Rosevears. The election had to be postponed because of COVID restrictions and is now being held next Saturday. Our pastor prayed for all the candidates this morning in our last only livestream church service. Thankfully, after 4 months of church on-line, we finally get to meet back in our building next Sunday. Yay!

Here’s what I made –

Australiana

Kookaburras

Eucalyptus Leaves

Flowering Wattle

Proteas

Eucalyptus Bark

The fold is an easy one – turn the card front back on itself 1″, add some pretty papers, some simple die-cuts and a sentiment and you’re done. Here’s what I used from my stash –

Kaisercraft – Gum Nuts Dies, Australiana 12×12 Patterned Papers, Map of Australia Die (TAS)

Stampin’ Up! ® – Tasteful Labels Dies, Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder, Butterfly Gala (sentiment), Forever Fern Stamp Set, Whisper White, Soft Suede, Balmy Blue and Mossy Meadow Card Stock, Soft Suede and Mossy Meadow Ink

This next card was one that I made for my pastor to thank him for the time and effort that he puts in to providing a daily bible reading on You Tube. I am following along each day and am very grateful that 2020 will be the year I’ll finally get to read the whole Bible within 12 months, thanks to Pastor Andrew. He enjoys a bit of latte art and shares his ‘talent’ on INSTA, so I whipped out my Cozy Cup Stamps and Dies from The Greetery and a retired SU set called Coffee Cafe to make this one –
