Flowing Flowers

This is another thank you card in the collection I gave as wedding gifts recently and it uses the retired stamp set Flowing Flowers (January - June 2022 mini catalog) along with the Watercolor Shapes stamp set.


The die cuts are made using the Basic Border Dies and Beautiful Shapes dies, both are cut from Purple Posy card stock. There are also a few Faux Sea Glass embellishments added over the stamped images.


Supplies:
Flowing Flowers, Watercolor Shapes
Gorgeous Grape, Fresh Freesia, Pool Party, Pale Papaya, Daffodil Delight ink
Soft Sea Foam, Basic White, Purple Posy card stock

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.

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