Thank You Garden In Bloom

Thank You Card using Garden in Bloom and Tin of Cards from Stampin' Up! UK

As you know I love Watercolour, and getting really inky and messy when I’m card making. However, sometimes you just need a super quick card….

Thank You Card using Garden in Bloom and Tin of Cards from Stampin' Up! UK

But, I still want that watercolour / inky artsy look. I LOVE Garden in Bloom for this, it is designed to make you look like a watercolour master – but all you have used is stamps and ink!

Here I have used Blushing Bride for the flowers – there are other stamps that I could have layered but I was keeping things simple here! – with Melon Mambo for the smaller flowers and Pear Pizzazz leaves.

The sentiment is taken from Tin of Cards, and the strip of Designer Series Paper is from Go Wild!

A Nice Cuppa Thank You

A few weeks ago my lovely husband, James, asked me to make 2 thank you cards to say Thanks to the team at one of his placements. James is a student nurse (apparently my horror stories haven’t put him off!) and he has now finished his first year of study, which means saying goodbye to the ward where he has been based for the past 9 months. Now, as a nurse I know that there are few things that nurses like more than a ‘hot’ cup of tea or coffee, and so the ‘A Nice Cuppa’ stamp set and coordinating dies seemed perfect

I actually made two cards, one for the ward team, and one for James’ mentor. I’m loving using up my Designer Series Papers at the moment (as I’m sure regular readers are well aware) and this card was a great excuse to get out the Birthday Blooms Designer Series Paper and use it for a non-birthday themed card. I often use Designer Series Paper as colour inspiration, and so looked through the colour list for a coordinating card base colour and came up with Soft Suede.

The Cup and tea bag were die cut from Whisper White card stock and, although you can’t see it in this photos, sponged in Crumb Cake ink. I love adding a bit of sponging to the edge of items like this mug, just to give a little dimension, and take it from a flat piece to something special. I have also curved pieces like this before, but left it flat this time around.

The second card was for James’ mentor, and so I wanted to make something that reflected James – bright and colourful! This of course meant changing Designer Series Paper and so here I have used the Cherry on Top DSP stack. This cute stack of 6 x 6 papers features some really bold and bright colours that you may not have first thought of when thinking about a cup of tea!

This card uses a piece of Shimmery White card stock, and I have added a wash of Pool Party in the background before adding 1cm strips of Designer Series Paper and the tea cup. The sentiment on this one is taken from the Sale-a-bration set Perfect Pairings – I will be so sad at the end of the month when this set retires as I have used it so much!

I know that both these cards were well received on the ward, We love sending Thank You’s at the end of a placement or work place. Believe it or not we don’t get much thanks, and so its always lovely to get a hand-made thank you.

Butterfly Basics – January Thanks!

I love sending thank you notes to customers, and I try to make a different card each month.

For those lovely ladies who shopped with me in January, these are the cards that should be sat on your shelves!

I have to give credit to Brandy Cox who I have CASE’d this idea from. She did a fab 10 cards in 20 minutes video based around this set. Lovely!

Stampin' Up! UK butterfly Basics thank you

I send cards out at the end of each month, and theses went out last week.

I used a Pool Party card base (have an A4 sheet cut in half, folded in half), with a piece of Whisper White for stamping.

The stamp set used here is Butterfly Basics, it is so pretty! saying that I haven’t included a butterfly! The ferns are triple stamped in Pear Pizzazz, with the other elements stamped in Crumb Cake.

The ‘Thank You’ sentiment is taken from Crazy About You.

So thankful for you!

Hello!

 

I thought I would take a step away from Christmas just for a moment! To say thanks!

Last week I featured the Festival of Trees Stamp Set (still not sick of that set yet! I just LOVE it!), and had such a great response from all of you (both here and on facebook!) and just wanted to say thanks to all of you!

Stampin' Up! UK Calypso Coral Good GreetingsI love bright colours, and rich colours, really I just love colour! but coral isn’t really my colour. So, when I looked through which ink pads I didn’t own a few weeks ago, it wasn’t a surprise to me that Calypso Coral hadn’t worked its way into my basket. But all of the Stampin’ Up! colours are just so beautiful I decided to take a chance on the coral!

How cute is this colour! It’s definitely on the orange spectrum, but its so soft and pretty! and please tell me, what is prettier than butterflies and flowers! So, I grabbed the Papillon Potpourri stamp set, and I Like You (hostess set), along with our Product of the Month – Good Greetings! and stamped this card!

There are actually two butterflies here, I punched one butterfly out of Calypso Coral DSP from the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack, and then added the stamped and punched butterfly over the top with a single Glue Dot to give some great dimension!

I am so Thankful for you! Thanks so much for all your comments and orders. Check out my Facebook page HERE! and shop HERE!
