Thank You

Spring if finally here and it has been very rainy in St. Louis. You know what they say, April showers bring May flowers.

For me becoming a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator was a great decision because I have made so many new friends. If not for my love of stamping and crafting I may never have met these wonderful ladies.

I am very blessed indeed. And because our world has become so virtual, I know have stamping friends across the United States and beyond! Today’s card celebrates spring flowers and friendship. Enjoy! Feel free to leave me a comment.

I really excited to share this fancy thank you card with you today because it looks elegant and complicated, but really it is not hard at all. I used the dies from the Vine Design Bundle to create the flowered lattice side cut out the thanks from the Well Written dies.

• Begin with a Very Vanilla card base that measures 5½ x 8½. In landscape position, (aka the long side) score at 4¼.  Fold and burnish.  This will create a card base.
• Cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Very Vanilla and use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to dry emboss with the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder.  Attach this vanilla embossed panel to the card front.
• Cut a 2 ¾ x 4 ½” piece of Highland Heather cardstock and using the Vine Design rectangular die run it through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine.  That’s all it takes to create a fancy side panel.  Add a bit of Tombow liquid glue and adhere it to the left side of the Very Vanilla panel dry embossed in the previous step.
• Crop the “thanks” using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine and the Well Written dies.  Again use some Tombow liquid glue to adhere it to the card front.
• For a finishing bit of elegant bling, add 9 silver metallic pearls to the center of some of the flowers. (see image above)
• For the inside, stamp the greeting from the Happy Thoughts set in Highland Heather ink.

I hope you enjoyed this fancy kind of thank you! You will be amazed at how simple this card really is, but it will definitely wow your friends.

Did you know that the Whale Done Punch Bundle pairs perfectly with the Friends are Like Seashell Bundle? Check it out.

Today’s card uses both of these sets, plus the new Blending Brushes to create an under the sea thank you! Let’s just say there is nothing fishy about this thank you!

• Begin with a Cinnamon Cider card base that measures 4 ¼  x 11. In landscape position, (aka the long side) score at 5 ½”.  Fold and burnish.  This will create a tent fold card.
• Cut a 4-1/8 x 5-3/8” piece of Old Olive cardstock and layer to the card front.
• Cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Basic White cardstock and using a Blending brush, add some Mango Melody ink to the top of the cardstock. 
• Next, blend some Pacific Point ink to create the ocean and finally on the bottom of the white cardstock, blend some Crumb Cake ink to create the sandy ocean floor.
• Stamp some specks from the Friends are Like Seashells set in crumb cake and some Old Olive seaweed to the sandy floor. 
• Stamp a few sea shells in Cinnamon Cider ink, cut out with coordinating dies and add to the bottom of the ocean.
• Stamp the Thank you and some fishy friends from the Whale Done set in Memento ink across the blue of the ocean.

These sets are amazing together and I loved creating this playful card. I hope this inspires you to get out your ink pads and create something beautiful.

• Begin with a Poppy Parade card base that measures 5 ½ x 8 ½”.  In landscape position, (aka along the 8½” side) score at 4 ¼”.  Fold and burnish.
• Cut a 3 ¾ x 5” piece of the Flower and Field Designer Series paper and attach it to a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Bumblebee cardstock.
