Loads of Thanks

I’ve been making lots of Thank You Cards lately.
I send them to my customers when they place an
order with me — you also get a token when your order
is over $50 — collect 10 tokens and you get a
stamp set FREE.  There is one catch though —
DON’T choose the No Contact button — if you do
I don’t know who placed the order and can’t send you
a special card (sad face).

Anyway, this card is perfect to send to my
customers.  This was another card I saw on the
display boards last month — so cute and “springy”.
Sublime logo
The card base is Thick Whisper White – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
Scored at 4 1/4″.  Trim off 3/4″ on front.
Attach a strip of Pool Party cardstock
The wheel barrow full of flowers come from the
Sublime stamp set.  It is stamped with
Archival Black ink and colored in with
Aqua Painters and inks – Wisteria Wonder,
Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Wild Wasabi,
Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate.
Punch out flowers using the flower from
Itty Bitty Punch Pack, Petite Petals punch.
Also punch hearts using the Bird Builder punch.
The finishing touch is little dots of Silver Sparkle Details.

Skating By

My oldest grandson has a birthday coming up
later this week.  I can’t believe he’s going to
be 9 already — where does the time go.
I saw this card on a display board last month
at convention and it made me think of him.
I don’t own this Skating By stamp set and
now it’s retiring (darn).
I decided I better share this sample with
you so you don’t miss out — it is perfect for
those boys in your life.
Skating By logoBelieve it or not the card base is
Mint Macaron with a layer of Soft Suede.
Next is a layer of the English Garden design paper.
Didn’t know this print was in there did you?
The boy is stamped with Archival Black ink and colored
in with a Blender Pen or Aqua Painter and
ink pads — Night of Navy, Old Olive, Mint Macaron,
Blushing Bride, Cajun Craze and highlighted
with Sahara Sand.
The camera is stamped, colored, cut out
with Paper Snips and attached with a dimensional.
Two pieces of Pear Pizzazz 1/4″ Cotton Ribbon
and a 2 1/2″ Soft Suede circle were attached
and the boy layers attached with dimensionals.

What a fun card — I really wish I had that stamp set now.

Retiring items that you don’t want to miss out on.

Gorgeous Botanicals

Today’s card has some fun elements.
We combined Gorgeous Grunge stamp set
with Botanical Gardens designer paper to
create a card with lots of different textures
and designs going on.
Beautiful Blessing logoThe card base is Thick Whisper White.
A strip of the Botanical Gardens designer paper
was added to the left side.
The “blotches” from Gorgeous Grunge was
stamped in Cajun Craze and Old Olive ink.
The small dots were stamped with Pool Party ink.
The frame stamp is from Rose Wonder stamp set
and was stamped with Old Olive ink.
The words are from the same stamp set and
stamped with Cajun Craze ink.
It was cut out using the coordinating
Rose Garden Thinlits and attached with
dimensionals.  The final touch was
adding three Black Candy Dots.
