Hello friends,
We know that you love our vintage paper doll embellishments as much as we do, so we decided to make an encouraging and thankful set for the Thanksgiving season. For today's card, we are going to use the Grateful Paper Doll Stickers and Sentiments to make a thank you card like no other! If you don't have this set, then grab it on sale on our website this week only!
It's time to head to your craft room!
We used a couple of frame dies to create a beautiful frame. This set is the 3D Neoclassic Frame Dies. Take the intricate die and place inside the shadow layers for placement, and then remove it leaving the shadow layers.
Run your shadow layers through your Empress or diecutting machine to create this shadow frame.
For this thin, gold frame we used the Birthday Wishes Dies. Be sure to add the shadow layer to cut out the middle!
Take the intricate die that you used for placement earlier and also cut out a gold frame.
Start layering your lovely diecuts onto your card. First the Birthday Wishes diecut goes on the card base (made from the Anniversary Papercrafting Collection) with foam adhesive.
Next, your frame dies also get added with foam adhesive.
Tuck your paper doll into the "window" created. Pop her head out as shown.
Place a few of your favorite rose stickers in the bottom, right corner. Ours are from the Anniversary Papercrafting Collection.
Another rose and a few gold foil embellishments get added to the top left of your card. Tuck in between your 2 frames.
Because the speech bubble is headed in a different direction than your paper doll, you can easily trim off the tail with a craft knife or scissors.
Add your sentiment to the right of your paper doll.
Has someone been kind to you lately, or helped you out in some way? Let them know how grateful you are by sending this card their way.
There are so many different cards to make with this set. Create elaborate scenes with the Vignette Papers and Embellishments.
Use window dies from your craft room for a fun card for a friend.
Add 2 stickers together and combine them with pretty papers from your stash.
Make cards of gratitude and send to everyone in your life that you are thankful for. Don't you think that sounds like a great new holiday tradition? Today's tutorial will be available for the next week. After that, you can access it and so much more with your Anna Griffin Membership.

This card is stunning! Thank-you for sharing your beautiful inspiring ideas!! So glad I purchased these in the past! I prefer the thankful gratitude sentiments over the snarky ones!!😊💕
Eagerly awaiting my next mystery box!
Watching your videos for more inspiration.
Good Morning. I am so happy to see this. I have the paper dolls and was wondering how to make a card for my friend. So, this came right on time for me. I love the paper dolls. Thank you so much! I appreciate you and all of your classes.
Wonderful Paperdolls Tutorial, Anna! I intentionally order this Folio when you first brought them to us, specifically to express gratitude to my gal-pals this season of giving thanks. I’ve made 2, and must complete a few more. Your tutorial is inspiring me to make like yours, AND THEN SEND! THANKS, Anna!
