Elegant Thank You

I have been putting together lots of thank you cards lately to give as gifts for family members that are getting married. While the products on this card are retired, you could mix it the layout with lots of different stamp and designer series paper options.

The designer series paper is called Simply Elegant and was in the previous Idea Book and Catalog along with the stamp set Elegantly Said. The die cut is from the All That Dies which is a current product. I used Basic Gray ink for the images and sentiment.

Supplies:

Elegantly Said

Basic Gray ink

Very Vanilla card stock

All That Dies

Simply Elegant specialty paper

Make labels, circles, and banners with the versatile shapes in the All That Dies. These shapes are perfect for so many projects: cards, scrapbook pages, tags, and more. You can also use these dies to create a traditional argyle pattern. You'll love how these shapes look on your creations.

* 10 dies
* Largest die: 2-1/2" x 1-1/2" (6.4 x 3.8 cm)
* Use with a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
* Compatible with the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine

Dies help you create unique die-cut shapes and paper cutouts with just a quick run through your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Detailed dies include ejection holes so you can remove the paper easily.

Ask your demonstrator about coordinating products.

April Stamp Club Projects

In April, our projects used lots of retiring items along with a few that will carry over as we transition to the new Idea Book and Catalog in a week.

Our first card uses the Picture This dies, the Hive 3D folder and Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set. There are some Brushed Brass Butterflies added along with retired Bumblebee ribbon.

Next, we have a card made using the Simply Elegant specialty designer series paper, Heart and Home Doilies, Scalloped Contours dies and the retiring In Symmetry stamp set.

Finally, our 12" x 12" scrapbook layout uses some Pansy Petal designer series paper along with coordinating card stock colors, including Bumblebee which is a retiring In Color.

We would love to have you join us anytime! Contact me for more details.

Mixed Paper Birthday

This card is an example of how you can use your scraps by mixing different patterns and designer series paper packages. I have used pieces from the Simply Elegant specialty paper, Heart and Home designer series paper and Forever Greenery designer series paper collections, attaching them side by side on a piece of Basic Gray card stock.

The strip of Misty Moonlight behind the sentiment is also from the scrap pile and I added a few Iridescent rhinestone jewels to the side of that layer.  The sentiment comes from the Flowing Flowers stamp set and is stamped on a die cut made with the Stitched rectangles dies.
