Mixed Bunch Thank You

A simple, cute card to say thank you. If your time and your supplies are limited, then this is the card for you. You may choose to embellish it further, or even make it more basic. For example, I used dimensionals to raise the flower, yet you may choose to glue it directly onto the card stock. The sentiment can also be placed on any decorative frame that you may have on hand. There is plenty of room on the card. If you wish to step it up more, then you can use rhinestones, or pearls for the center of the flower. You may choose to accent the flower with embossing powder or adding a ribbon to the card. With Stampin' Up! the possibilities are endless. I chose to keep it simple for my stamp camp. Following are the supplies and measurements that I used. Have fun and be creative!
 

Stamp Sets: Mixed Bunch, Lots of Thanks

Paper: Pink Pirouette A-2, Soft Sky 5 1/4 X 4, Melon Mambo 2 3/4 X 2 1/2, Crushed Curry 1 1/4 strip, punch after stamping, Old Olive 5 X 3/4 

Ink: Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Crushed Curry

Accessories: Blossom Punch, 1" Circle Punch, Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder, Dimensionals, Adhesive

This is a fairly simple card to assemble, so I won't bore you with every detail. I will caution you to make sure you stamp before you punch, and that you stamp in the center of your card stock to leave enough room for the punch. You also want to place the flower onto the old olive strip before stamping your sentiment to make sure that it is where you would like to place it. Have fun.

Feel free to post any comments or questions, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks for spending time with me.

Say Thanks With Trees

If you need a card and have very little time, then this is the card for you.  It is quick, easy, beautiful, and can fit any occasion.  Here are the details:

Stamp Sets:  Lovely as a Tree, Lots of Thanks
Paper:  Always Artichoke A-2, Basic Black 3 1/4 X 5, Whisper White 4 1/2 X 2 1/4  (Cut image at 1 1/2 from each side)
Ink:  Basic Black, Soft Sky, So Saffron  Markers:  So Saffron, Calypso Coral, Soft Suede, Always Artichoke
Technique:  Sponging
Accessories: Spiral Border Punch, Adhesive

This card is one of my stamp camp projects for next week, the 23rd of July, 2014.  I really enjoyed making this card, and the stamp set, "Lovely as a Tree" is a classic in my mind.  I do want to mention that I am not the first person to come up with this design.  I know that I saw it some place before, but I can not remember where it was.  So, I want to publicly apologize to the person for not giving credit where credit is due.

I began by cutting my card stock, using the measurements above.  I then stamped my trees with basic black classic ink.  I proceeded to sponge on the soft sky followed by the so saffron for the ground cover.  I did swipe the ground under the trees with the so saffron marker to give the card a bit of depth.  I went on to color the trees with the other markers:  soft suede for the trunks, always artichoke for the leaves, and a bit of calypso coral to add a tinge of color.  I then used the spiral border punch on the black card stock.  In hindsight, I would have stopped the punching before getting to the end.  Oh well, I guess this is what sets a store bought card apart from my card.   I adhered the black card stock to my Always Artichoke card.  I took my trees and cut them into thirds.  I cut at the 1 1/2 inch mark.  I glued these pieces onto the black card stock making sure I spaced them as evenly as possible.  I finished the card by stamping "a thousand thanks" taken from the "Lots of Thanks" stamp set.  I used Classic Black ink for the sentiment, but you can also use Always Artichoke.  Note that you can stamp just about anything on this card.  The trees are fitting for any occasion.
