The Sale-a-bration stamp set Simply Wonderful has some really good sentiments and I used one for this card and punched it out with the Note Tag punch.

Best Year Ever Thanks

 

The designer series paper on this card is once again from the FREE Sale-a-bration pack called Best Year Ever.  I really like the patterns they chose for this collection.

 

As for the stamping, I used Simply Wonderful for the sentiment and Draw the Line for the dots.

Dahlias

 

I realized I had not used my Regarding Dahlias stamp set in awhile so I pulled it out one day and played with it a little bit.  The two cards below show a the same image stamped on the same color of card stock with the same ink, but one is colored with blendabilities and one is left without any coloring.

 

On the top one, I used the Coastal Cabana blendabilities to color in the flower.  It pops it out a little, but since it is stamped on Old Olive card stock, it is more subtle than if it was on a lighter color.

 

This one is left alone and I just added a layer and some extras to it.  Which do you prefer?

This card is a quick and simple one that showcases the Stacked with Love designer series paper stack in the Occasions catalog.  

 

The sentiment is from a Sale-a-bration set called Simply Wonderful and I punched it out with the Note Tag punch and layered it onto an altered Note Tag punch.  I folded the washi tape over onto itself so the it was no longer sticky and then stapled it onto the note tag.

The images are from the Snuggles and Smooches stamp set and the sentiment is from the Simply Wonderful stamp set (SAB 2015).
