Just a little share today...These little "thank you" tags are for my Stamp Club ladies and were simple and fun to make. I used the Hearts framelits to punch out the hearts, snailed a square of 2012-14 In-Color DSP behind the punched heart and stamped the "thank you" sentiment from Just Believe SS in Early Espresso.

KWerner's Color Inspiration #52

From Adriel:

So I had some thank you cards to make for my recent birthday and I saw Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration Challenge #52 was up, so I decided to use those colors for a couple of thank you cards. In addition, I had to get some stamping in before I head out of town on Tuesday with my husband for the Tropical Smoothie Cafe roadshow. We own the location in Tempe (@ Priest & Warner)... if you're ever in the neighborhood, stop by for a delicious smoothie! Okay, enough of the commercial, onto my card! =)

These colors are so "vacation". (I think I have vacation on my brain or something!) Really, they look like the Caribbean or the islands or something. Really refreshing colors! =) My card was inspired by THIS CARD, although it didn't turn out looking anything like it at all. I just loved how she used the flower from the Wow Flower set in different colors as the main focal point. I decided to do the same. =)

If you are interested in the supplies I used...

Wow Flowers set

Fundamentel Phrases set

Sahara Sand CS

More Mustard CS

So Saffron CS

Whisper White CS

So Saffron ink

More Mustard ink

Baja Breeze ink

More Mustard Stampin' Write marker

Pretty simple card... I tried a technique I saw HERE on Studio Calico's blog about pleating card stock. I think it's a fun addition. =)

Thank you so much for looking! I may have a couple of posts on here this week (thanks to post scheduling), but I'll be out of town until Friday, but my mom will be here (taking care of my kiddos!) You all have a great week! =)

Simple Thank You's

From Heidi...

I made a set of 10 simple "thank you's" as a gift for someone. I crimped a piece of Old Olive CS and cut it into 3" sections and centered it just under the paper piercing I'd done on the front of the card front. I stamped my image in Old Olive and Basic black, punched it out with the 1-3/8" square punch and then roughed up the edges of the CS with my nail. I punched a 1-3/4" square of Night of Navy for the background for the stamped image and then centered and dimensionaled those pieces to the front of the card. Thanks for looking!

Cards with Textured Card Stock

From Adriel:

I put this set of cards in our Etsy shop a few days ago and thought I'd share them with you. We got some white textured card stock last week and I made a set of cards with it. Textured card stock is a lot of fun and adds a little bit "more" to your card! =)

I used accents of Kiwi Kiss and Not Quite Navy to set off the white. I used a couple of retired sets from Stampin' Up! I used the Doodle This set for the flowers. I wanted to do something different than what I've been doing lately, so I used the wonderful scripture verses in the Elegant Inspirations set for the focal points on each of the cards. I embossed these verses with white embossing powder, so they really stand out! I also added white stitching and some paper piercing and embellishments. We had just been to Michael's and my mom had gotten some cute ribbon. It matched perfectly with the cards I made! I also finished the insides with colored cardstock and white card stock again and stamped images. I used the blurred vision technique on the inside images.

They look refreshing and I hope they refresh the spirit of whoever may receive them. Maybe you need some refreshing. Here's one of the verses printed out for you. May it refresh you! =)

"By day the Lord directs His love, at night His song is with me." Psalms 42:8

Note of Love Card

From Heidi ...

Today was a productive day! My granddaughter's birthday is coming up and she is hoping for new matching dresses for her and her little doll. I finished her dress and was able to cut out her doll's dress... Yay! I also found time to finish another Valentine card using the glitter embossed heart that Adriel showed you a few days ago.

Here's the finished card that the "heart" inspired me to make. It really is pretty up close. I used sponging, embossed glitter, paper piercing, and threaded satin ribbon around the perimeter of the heart. My husband had gotten me a designer corner cutter/embosser (I don't know what else to call it) for my birthday, so I used it on the corners of the Very Vanilla. I hope you enjoy it!

Another Love You Much creation

From Heidi...

Here's another Valentine creation I made using the Love You Much bundle. I used two types of the DS paper (stripe and tiny polka dot), watercoloring (one of my favorite techniques!), sponging, and paper piercing. Other supplies used: Scallop edge punch, circle coluzzle, ribbon, brad, and dimensionals.

Thanks for letting me share this with you!
