I wanted to share this cute and simple Thank you card. I used the Work of Art Stamp set, and just stamped off as I went down the card. I really like how the colors kinda blend in and it was easy!! I made these cards as Thank You cards for everyone who placed an order this month. I love giving thank you cards, and I really don't know anyone who doesn't like hearing thank you!!  :))





So I  inked up my stamp just once, and started at the top of the card  and just kept stamping as I went down the card.  I never re inked, it kinda gave it that 'ombre' effect. Kinda fun, huh??






Is that big Thank You so cute? It's also a watercolor stamp, that's why it all goes together.







Items used:
Stamps: Work of Art, Watercolor Thank you
Paper:  Lost Lagoon cardstock, Whisper White cardstock
Accessories: Lost Lagoon ink, Lost Lagoon 3/8" stitched satin ribbon, Soft Suede ink

I wanted to share some more pictures from convention this year. Here is my swap I took. I was involved in a Sudsol Swap, I made 38 for this swap. I really like the way this card turned out.






I used the Flower Patch Stamp set, this is such a cool stamp set. The lighter, smaller flower I stamped off to get a lighter shade. The Coastal Cabana and the Back to Black is simply stunning together!!

Hi today's card is a combination of two of my very favorite stamp sets. The Flower shop stamp and Everything Eleanor stamp set. The Flower Shop stamp set is so versatile, you can make everyday cards, Wedding, Sympathy, or Birthday cards because the flowers vary so much. Once you stamp the flower image, the matching Pansy Punch makes it a breeze to punch out and create cards, tags or scrapbook pages. The Everything Eleanor stamp has a cute, swirly, fun stamp  that I just LOVE!!  So I combined these two sets, to make this card for two different challenges!   I guess it's a "Two-for Friday!" The challenges are a sketch design by Freshly Made Sketches (125) and a color combo by Create with Connie and Mary (CCMC292)













Does that look like a pretty good challenge?  So here's what I came up with.

I wanted to show you this card that I made the other day. I like this sentiment, I haven't seen it used much, but I really like how bold and swirly it is. I actually had a fellow demonstrator ask me where is this stamp in the catalog? Well it's in the Everyday Mini on page 30, it's called Simply Celebrate. I paired it up with Petal Parade, one of the FREE stamp sets in Sale-A-Bration.







I also used the cork flower, it's also a Sale-A-bration item. I really like how clean and simple this card is,yet the mixture of textures (the cork flower, the burlap look to the Natural's ribbon, and the paper Piercing). Did you notice the Paper Piercing? It's subtle, but definitely adds a component to the card, what do you think?





I really like the Petal Parade stamp set, the more I use it the more I like it!! At first I thought, "oh it's just another flower stamp", but the combination of the flowers in that set is so versatile, and  just pretty.


Items used:
Stamps: Simply Celebrate, Petal Parade (Sale-A-bration)
Paper:  Whisper White Cardstock, Coastal Cabana Cardstock
Accessories:  Naturals 5/8" Chevron Ribbon, Sweet Sorbet Accessories kit (Sale-A-Bration), Crisp Cantaloupe Ink, Summer Starfruit Ink, Coastal Cabana Ink, Staz-On Black Ink, Paper Piercing Essentials pack


Have a great day and may God bless you,
