Sometimes you just need to go all out to say thank you to someone. This is one of those cards. It uses dies, stamps and stencils by The Greetery.

I designed this card to unfold and interact with the recipient in layers. First you open the gardening gloves gatefold flaps to reveal the gardening tools. Next you pull the ribbon up to reveal a personal message, but there are also good wishes underneath the slider easel.

Cardbase: Start with an 8 1/2 x – inch rectangle of white cardstock. Score and fold at 2 1/4-inches and 6 1/4-inches. These will be the gatefold flaps.

Sentiments: The stamped sentiment under the slider easel says “May your days be always in bloom.” I comes from the Always In Bloom stamp set. The “Way to Grow” on the envelope flap in from the In Spades stamp set. The Pull and arrow on the CRX tag giving directions on how to open the card, are from a Trinity Stamps set.
