Thank Yous

I put together a bunch of thank you cards that my niece can use for graduations thank yous this spring using some colors she intends to use to decorate at her graduation party.  

The background in each card is stamped using the Forever Fern stamp set and a combination of Old Olive and Soft Sea Foam ink.

I used some retired specialty paper from a previous Sale-a-bration for the cards in the top picture since she wanted some Rose Gold in the coloring and some of the current Love You Always specialty paper in the second and third pictures.

Supplies:

So Sentimental, Sweet Ice Cream, Forever Fern

Rococo Rose, Old Olive, Soft Sea Foam, Crumb Cake ink

Whisper White, Petal Pink, Crumb Cake, Rococo Rose card stock

Champagne foil sheets

Love you Always specialty paper

Tufted embossing folder

Tasteful Labels dies

punches

Foil Notes

When I put together a few of these cards, my goal was to use some of the Eastern Gold vinyl stickers that were out on my stamp table.  I added some images from the Eastern Beauty stamp set in the background of the card base and on the other layers as well.

There is a piece of Delightful Daisy designer series paper behind the Peekaboo Peach layer with the vinyl stickers and I added some punched elements using the Starburst and 2" circle punch as well.

Supplies:

Eastern Beauty

Basic Black, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight ink

Peekaboo Peach, Sweet Sugarplum, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White card stock

Delightful Daisy dsp

Eastern Gold vinyl stickers

basic rhinestones

retired accents

Starburst punch 

2" circle punch

Canning Tags

 

Despite it being potato harvest season, I am still trying to keep up with the vegetables in my garden.  I fortunately finished making dill pickles before we started the potato digging (50 quarts!) but the tomatoes were a little slower to ripen so I have been doing that if it gets too hot to harvest.  

 

I thought the Farmers Market designer series paper would be fun to use to create some tags to use when I share what I preserve. 

 

The Homemade for You stamp set worked great to pair with the designer series paper and I used some scraps and punches to complete them.

 

A little bit of Cherry Cobbler thick bakers twine as an accent and silver bakers twine  to tie onto the jars...

More Endless Birthday Wishes

 

I have a few more samples using the Endless Birthday Wishes photopolymer set today.  The background on the card below uses the dotted stamp image in several different colors as well as some Gold Foil sheets and Watercolor Wonder designer washi tape.

 

I added some Baked Brown Sugar thick washi tape behind the punched pieces and just kind of looped it around.

 

This card has a randomly stamped background and a few stars punched using the Itty  Bitty Accents punch pack.

Easy packaging

I made some quick and easy packages for preschool teacher gifts that I thought I would share. 

 These brown paper bags are not the ones in the Holiday mini catalog because I needed something a little bigger so I just used ones I bought at the store.  The Deck the Halls designer series paper is cut to 3 1/2 X 5" and then I added a sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments and a bow with the Deck the Halls fabric and added the pearls.

 The tag is a 2 1/2" circle cut from Cherry Cobbler and then I ran it through the Vintage Wallpaper impressions folder.  I added an ornament from the Delightful Decorations stamp set with dimensionals and then attached it to the bag.

Pumpkin Patch

I have been playing with a few Halloween cards that I will share over the next week or two.  This one showcases pumpkins made using oval punches and then I added a little ink with a sponge to the edges. 

The Designer Series paper is Wicked fun Specialty and the stamp set is Wicked Cool.
