11/17/2025 - Make My Monday #265 Gratitude - Thank You card for Chinese School

I am the hostess at Make My Monday today and we are making Gratitude card! I am using this opportunity to create a prototype of cards that I will be creating for all the Chinese School teacher at the end of next semester (Way ahead, I know!) I saw a similar layout on Pinterest and decided to CASE it. Each stripe of DSP ix 1" x 4 1/4" and just layer it on top of the cardstock. Then I used School Days stamp set for the image, Apple/Books/Thank You sentiment. I think the books are too dark so I might change up the colors later when I create. I am also trying to use up the In-Colors DSP 2024-2026. Hope you enjoyed this card and please do join us at the challenge.
