...............................................

On Pinterest I have a color combination board which I used to create today's Thank You card. I love the soft hues of blues and pinks together, very pretty!

One thing that is really hard for me to do is to stick with just one stamp set when I make cards. I try, but it's usually hit-and-miss and today's card was a miss, as far as one stamp set goes. In fact this card uses three stamp sets: Thank You Kindly, Flowering Flourishes, and Mixed Bunch. (When I post my card on Splitcoaststampers, which stamp set should I place it in? I'm thinking Flowering Flourishes.)

I love the Flowering Flourishes for backgrounds and thought it would make a great start for a soft and pretty card. The Fancy Fan and Delicate Designs embossing folders added a nice texture to the card.

Remember a few posts ago when I told you about the diversity of florals in the Mixed Bunch stamp set? These cute little blooms are from this set.

Mix these cute blooms with two new in-colors, Strawberry Slush and Crisp Cantaloupe, and you get a pretty card.

This Old Olive stamped branch is from the Summer Silhouettes stamp set which hangs above the embossed Large Scallop edgelit. The sentiment is from the Best of Greetings stamp set or it can be found in the retired Thank You Kindly set.
This card is also part of the A.R.T. Card Challenge this week. If you're looking for some inspiration, you can CLICK HERE to see this week's challengers.

Mixed Bunch Thank You

This Mixed Bunch stamp set has a variety of floral images that fit the Blossom punch, from playful to this elegant pattern. I combined the new Coastal Cabana and the tried and true Early Espresso inks to create a simple but elegant card. The sentiment is from the Best of Greetings stamp set. It can also be found in the retired stamp set Thank You Kindly.

A bit of paper-piercing and a touch of bling adds a couple of extras to this card.

Have a wonderful day!

Strawberry Crush Butterfly Thank You

(there's too many fun promos to list them all here)

I'm switching gears today and sharing a more detailed thank you card using the Strawberry Slush ink and card stock. There are great colors in this year's new in-colors, with Strawberry Slush being one of my favorites. It's a cross between pink and red....very pretty! I used lots of fun embellishments on this one. I began with the Delicate Doilies Sizzlit and textured it using the Square Lattice EB folder. The stamped butterfly is from the stamp set Papillon Potpourri which coordinates with the Elegant Butterfly punch and the sentiment is from the Best of Greetings. The greenery is the Little Leaves Sizzlit which I cut apart and adhered together so that it branched out at one end.

I love the wide scallop edge on the Large Scallop Edgelit and coordinating Delicate Designs EB folder. Everything worked together so nicely on this card. I love it when that happens.

Thanks for letting me share!

Two CAS Thank You's

Today I'm sharing a couple of cards with you. On the first one I used a clear acrylic stamp block to create the bold geometric colored background. I rubbed the block onto my ink pads, then gave the block a quick mist of water before stamping onto my Whisper White CS. The inks I used were Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight, and Tangerine Tango. Make sure that you clean the block in between colors if you try this out for yourself.

I stamped my sentiment in Basic Black using the retired stamp set "Thank You Kindly", but the new stamp set Sweet Essentials (which just happens to be on sale for 25% off until June 30, see my promo page for more information) would work great for the sentiment. I added a sequin to each of the blocks for a bit of blingy fun.

Card One Supplies:

CS: Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise

INK: Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, Basic Black

SS: Thank You Kindly (retired) or try Sweet Essentials (126457)

BIG SHOT:Apothecary Accents framelit (127003)
PUNCHES: Scallop Edge Border (119882), Boho Blossoms (119858), Itty Bitty Shapes (118309)

ACCESSORIES: Rhinestone Jewels (119246), Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack (126187), Acrylic block "C" (118486), water bottle mister

My second card share today is just a very, very simple card featuring a DSP banner adhered to the Crumb Cake card front, which is embossed using the Stripes EB folder. I was daring and ran a bottle cap through the Big Shot to flatten it out. It worked great and created the cute little circular frame for the stamped and punched sentiment from the A Fitting Occasion stamp set.

The bottle cap was adhered to a Daffodil Delight Scallop Circle and a Midnight Muse Itty Bitty punched circle was placed in the center of the stamped circle, with a rhinestone bling.

Card Two Supplies:

CS: Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Polka Dot Parade (126902)

Time For a New Post...

...and to share some cards with you over the next several weeks. I'm eagerly waiting for my new Stampin' Up! goodies to arrive. I ordered 6 new stamp sets, all different styles, which will be a lot of fun to create new  cards and paper crafts with.

Today's card share was inspired by a card Katie Skiff created. I got to use several of the new In-Colors for the punched circles. I pulled out the retired stamp set "Thank You Kindly" for the sentiment, but the new stamp set Sweet Essentials (which just happens to be on sale for 25% off until June 30, see my promo page for more information) would work great for the sentiment banner.

So glad that you stopped by!

Digital Sprinkled Thanks

Today's share is a CAS digital "Thank You" card I made for my granddaughter. I broke my arm a few weeks back and she has been so kind to come over and help me out. Since I'm not doing much any stamping these days, I went digital. I used MDS stamps "Thank You Kindly" and "Sprinkled Expressions".

Glad that you stopped by!
