Wheelbarrow full of Thanks

This was the favorite card at my Stamp & Go Club classes this month.
The stamp set surprised the ladies — not what they thought.
The stamp set is "You're Sublime".
This is such a fun stamp set — so far I've used three of the four images in the set.
The only one I haven't used yet is the crab but I think I can share him with you tomorrow.
Loads of thanksThe card base is Basic Black with a layer of Whisper White.
Next we added a layer of Blushing Bride that was embossed using the
Elegant Dots embossing folder.
The designer paper used is Timeless Elegance — such pretty paper.
I used an Aqua Painter with the Blushing Bride ink to lightly color
the tulips on the designer paper.
The image is stamped with Stazon ink and colored with
markers or ink pads and Blender Pens or Aqua Painters.
I prefer the Aqua Painters but some of my ladies prefer Blender Pens
to get the different shades in their flowers and some of them preferred
to color with markers.  All of their cards were wonderful, which ever coloring
option they chose.

Pretty Prints Birhday

The Pretty Prints designer paper stack is fabulous!!!
I love the color combinations — I know I've said that a lot since the Annual Catalog
came out, but I really do.
Pretty Prints BirthdayThe base of the card is Watermelon Wonder.  I added a layer of
Whisper White cardstock.  Next I adhered the designer paper to Basic Black
cardstock for a color block look.  I stamped Happy Birthday from the Happy Birthday Everyone stamp set, which is a Host Exclusive stamp set — woohoo.
I tied a little bow from the White 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon and adhered that
to the card front with a glue dot.
The ladies loved this card at my Stamp & Go Clubs Monday & Tuesday.

A World of Thanks

I've been saying lots of thank yous lately to all of my friends and customers.
This is one of the Thank You cards we made at Stamp & Go Club last night.
When the Annual Catalog came out back in June, I fell in love with this stamp.
It's called "A World of Thanks".
There's just something about it — I don't know what it is.
I ordered it right away and then it sat on my shelf.
I kept pulling it out but didn't quite no what to do with it.
I checked out Pinterest, of course.  I saw a few samples but some that I liked
just took too much time.  Then I came across a very simple card that Teri Pocock has posted.  I love the simplicity of it.  I changed colors but kept the layout the same.
Here's my version of the card.
World of ThanksThe base of the card is Pink Pirouette with a layer of Basic Black.
I inked the stamp with Pink Pirouette ink and stamped on Whisper White cardstock.
Then I pounced the embossing buddy all over the white cardstock and
stamped the THANK YOU from Another Thank You stamp set using
VersaMark ink and sprinkled Black Embossing Powder over it.
Heat it with your Heat Gun to melt the embossing powder,
adhere the layers together.  That's it, sweet and simple — no dimensionals either.
