Thank You Cards - CASEd card

I cased this card from Chat W at Me My Stamps and I.  I chaged it a bit, and made it into my August Thank You cards for customers who place an order.  You can follow the link to see Chat's version, and here is mine....

I really like how Poppy Parade and Pear Pizzazz go together.  I made a "few" of these and it took me a couple of hours to cut out the flowers and the leaves.  Each flower has 2 layers and each card has 3 leaves!  But I like fussy cutting as my class attendees can tell you!
Stamps:  Fabulous Florets, Thank You Kindly
Ink:  Basic Black
Cardstock:  Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White
Other: dimensionals
Happy Stampin' and I hope you have a great day!

June Thank You Cards

I purchased one of the grab bags from Stampin' Up! and decided this month to use some of the goodies I received in it to create my monthly thank you cards for my customers.  If you would like to receive one of my hand stamped cards for your very own, all you have to do is place an order with me for any amount.  You can do that by emailing me, or going through my online store website.

The cardstock I received was from last year's Petite Pansies Simply Sent Card Kit.  The grab bag did not include the stamp sets, so I used Fabulous Florets a new set in the Summer Mini Catalogue. 
Stamps:  Fabulous Florets, Confetti, Because I Care (sentiment)
Ink:  Perfect plum, Old Olive, Basic Black
Cardstock:  Elegant Eggplant, Close To Cocoa, Very Vanilla
Other:  Old Olive 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon
I stamped the flower on Very Vanilla cardstock with Perfect Plum ink and cut it out.  I will have the second one I created on my bog tomorrow for you to see.
Happy Stampin' and hope to see you soon In My Craft Room. 

Some New Thank You Notes

Today I created the latest batch of customer Thank You notes to go in with my latest batch of orders.

This Fabulous Florets set is quickly becoming one of my all time favourite sets.  Right now it is my "go to" set when I want to create something quick and stunning.
Stamps:  Fabulous Florets, Occasional Quotes (sentiment)
Ink:  Wild Wasabi, Concord Crush
Cardstock:  Wild Wasabi, Basic Black, Whisper White
Other:  Dimensionals (yup that's it, not much else on this one)
I see I stamped the sentiment crooked!  Bummer, oh well, they are hand made after all.  LOL
Tomorrow we move from the wonderful Okanagan Valley - West Kelowna, to North Vancouver. I am excited to be visiting the "lower mainland" of B.C. for the next 4 days.  I forsee IKEA in my future and maybe a visit or two to some crafty stores.
Bye for now, it may be a day or two before I get back to you.    

New - Thank You Notes

Here is the latest of my Thank You notes for customers who place an order with me.  I love making these little notes that show my appreciation.  If you would like to receive one of these little cuties, or any of my other note cards, all you need to do is place an order through me.  Click HERE to go to my online Stampin' Up! store, or EMAIL me to place your order for you.
Here is my card ....

I used the stamp set "Strength and Hope".  $2 for every set purchased will go to Breast Cancer Research.  This set is awesome, I love the images included in it.
Stamps:  Strength and Hope, Tiny Tags
Ink:  Pretty In Pink, Rich Razzleberry, VersaMark
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Pretty In Pink
Other:  White Embossing Powder, Basic Pearls, Small Oval punch, Jewelry Tag Punch
I stamped the butterfly in VersaMark, then embossed it with White Embossing Powder.  I popped the wings up, and glued the body directly to the card.  Then I added 3 Basic Pearls to it to jazz it up a bit.
Hope you are having a great Easter weekend.  We managed to get out on our sailboat for an afternoon cruise today.  It was simply amazing, so quiet and peaceful.
Happy Stampin' .................................................................. 

Latest batch of Thank You Notes....

I ran out of Thank You notes for the next order I have coming in, so I had to create some more.  I brought some retired DSP, ribbon and cardstock with me to do this with.  Here is what I came up with .....

I recently got this neat-o stamp set called Butterfly Prints.  I just love the three different prints that can be used with the Butterfly Punch, and the sentiment *Love is like a butterfly...it goes where it pleases & pleases where it goes*.
Hope you have a great day.  I am still in Tofino and heading out to the beach for a walk.
Bye for now ......        

Latest Thank You cards

All of my customers get a hand made Thank You card from me for any order they submit.  Each card they receive is different, and this is the latest one .....

I used the new Create A Cupcake set and Build A Cupcake Punch.  The background is stamped with Dot, Dot, Dot which you can get for RREE as a Sale-A-Bration Item, but only until March 31st.  The cherry is punched out of Real Red Glimmer paper!
The sentiment I made using Thank You from Occasional Quotes, and with a cherry on top from A Word For You set.  I think it really goes well with the cupcake image!
Thanks for visiting, Happy Stampin' .......................................

March Thank You Cards

This is the Thank You card each of my customers in March wll receive.

I created something quick and easy this time.  I used some Summer Sun Textured cardstock and ran the retired Stampin' Up! jumbo wheel "Whimsy" inked in Cajun Craze over the bottom portion.  Then I spritzed the entire thing with Gold Smooch Spritz.  I punched out two pieces in Cajun Craze using the Decorative Label punch.  Then I stamped "Thanks" in Cajun Craze on Very Vanilla cardstock and punched it out with the Decorative Label punch.  This was also spritzed with Gold Smooch Spritz.  Oh the bling is fabulous!

Bye for now, Happy Stampin' ... .... .....  

Thank Ewe Cards

I wanted to show off some FREE Sale-A-Bration stuff on this card.  I think its so great that this year we are not limited to FREE stamp sets for SAB, we can choose from Designer Papers & Accents, or Chalkboard Decor Elements, or a CD with Digital content, oh my!  So many choices, so little time, heehee.  The ribbon and buttons come from the Ice Cream Parlour Ribbon and Button Pack (page 7 of the SAB Brochure).
Happy Stampin' ...........

Just Believe Brayered Card - CASEd Card Share

This is the last one of my CASEd cards for now.  This is CASEd from Gretchen Barron, another very talented lady.  I love brayering, which this card uses.  I love clean and simple, which this card is, and I LOVE rhinestones and bling of any kind, which I made this card have!

I used almost the same colours as Gretchen, but I changed the Pretty In Pink to Pink Pirouette to make it a bit softer.  I added Basic Rhinestones to the butterfly body and made antennas for him as well.  I also added a sentiment to the bottom, and omitted the ribbon.  My Just Believe floral images are stamped in Early Espresso instead of Chocolate Chip.  So I used the same colour scheme, just used a couple of different colours.  When making this card, make sure you ink your floral images really, really well so you get good coverage and solid stamped images (yup learned this by the hard way!).
Happy Christmas Eve, everyone!  I hope your day is fabulous tomorrow, and Santa is good to each and every one of you.  I appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedules to visit my blog!

Thank You Cards - July 2010

Hi, I'm back again with another version of my order Thank You cards.  This is the one I will be using for July / August............

For this card I used up some retired cardstock - Bermuda Bay - and retired Designer Series Papers - Welcome Neighbour.  I discovered the colours in the DSP match Peach Parfait enough to use the Peach Parfait ink for the stamp.  I also used some retired 1/4" grosgrain ribbon - More Mustard.  These colours all work really well together.  I stamped the image  - from the new set Just Believe (item# 116948 wood  = $41.95 or 120453 clear mount = $31.95 - page 109 of the main catty - in Peach Parfait on Whisper White cardstock.  Then I stamped the sentiment "Thank You" from the Level 1 Hostess set - Silhouette Sentiments in Basic Black.  (Place an order or host a workshop of $200 Cdn and you can receive this set for FREE).  Then I cut out the image and spritzed it with Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz I made up with 70% Rubbing Alcohol and Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.  It really sparkles in real life.  After adhering the DSP on the card base, I wrapped 9" of ribbon around the card front and tied a knot.  Then the cut out and shimmered image was popped up over the ribbon in the center of the card front on dimensionals.

To place an order and receive one of my customer only Thank You cards (and possibly earn the hostess set for free) email me or place an online order directly through my Stampin' Up! Online Store.

Thanks again for visiting, I appreciate you coming, and leaving comments too!
