August Thank You Cards

Merriest Wishes Christmas Card using Stampin' Up! UK products

Around the end of every month I send out Thank You cards to my online customers (If you place an order for collection you get your card with your order!). This past month I had a stack of cards to make and send, along with class kits for my Stamp of the Month Club too

Now, the cards I sent had a slightly different sentiment, in that they were ‘Thank You’ cards, rather than Christmas ones, but seeing as I used the Thank You stamp from the Thoughtful Branches stamp set that has now sadly retired (although I do have a used copy available if anyone wants one!) I thought I would change it up for the blog.

The background and sentiment are taken from Merriest Wishes. I’m loving this stamp set, and it is my current Stamp of the Month too!

The card is finished with a piece of the This Christmas Designer Series Paper and a strip of Gold Sequin Trim. Very pretty.

Right, I’m off shopping today, need to get some bits and pieces ready for my Stamping trip away next weekend! Yay!

Thoughtful Branches at Christmas

Christmas Card using Thoughtful Branches From Stampin' Up! UK

I am so ready to start making Christmas cards; its probably something to do with the weather, seeing as it has rained ALL DAY! I know it’s still only August, but really, I’m feeling rather Autumnal and almost Festive!

I have really enjoyed using the Thoughtful Branches Bundle, quite sad that it wont be available after the 31st August. There is still time for you to get your hands on it, but you better move quick. This card though, I am so excited about, I’ve been trying to get a ribbon of paper onto a card for ages, and I’ve finally done it!

The card uses a base of Garden Green, with a matt of This Christmas Designer Series Paper, and another layer of Very Vanilla. The main focal point of the card is the ‘For You’ sentiment, stamped in Cherry Cobbler. I’ve been reaching for this punch combination a lot recently, it’s the 1 1/4″ circle and the 1 3/8″ circle layered on top of one another, and its the perfect combination for a sentiment.

The paper ribbon is super simple to do with the This Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper – because its thin but strong, it curls really nicely. I created the loops of paper and stuck them together with glue dots before attaching the whole piece to the card with Fast Fuse. I really wanted to add a splash of Gold onto this card, so one of the leaves has a touch of Gold Wink of Stella, but that wasn’t quite enough, so I added some Gold splatter and a trio of Gold Enamel Shapes.

Before I go, I just want to remind you that if you order this fabulous bundle before the 31st August, I will send you a FREE card kit and Exclusive video tutorials in September!

Thoughtful Branches | Thank You

Thank you card using Thoughtful Branches from Stampin' Up! UK

Sorry if you were expecting a Make It Monday this week, am taking a couple of weeks off – but don’t panic, I have some great projects lined-up for you here on my blog while I’m away. Also, I have just had a delivery of Autumn / Winter catalogues – if you have shopped with me in the last 6 months there will be one on its way to you very shortly, if you haven’t shopped but want a FREE copy, just let me know on this form!

I am still loving using our fabulous August Exclusive stamp and die bundle; Thoughtful Branches. I think this card would look fabulous if you swapped out the Tip Top Taupe and replaced it with copper! I might just have to make that this afternoon! The rest of the card uses Pear Pizzazz and Tangerine Tango for a cute Autumnal look

The banner for the sentiment is created using the banner die that you can find in the Cupcake Cutouts framelits.

Thoughtful Branches | Pretty in Pink

Are you LOVING the Thoughtful Branches bundle yet? You are – go and grab it before it sells out!

The card I am sharing today is the very first card I made with it. Some of my Stampin’ Sisters weren’t sure about it (I can’t work out why not!) but wanted to see some creations using the bundle before they took the plunge and grabbed it for themselves, I don’t blame them its always nice to see what you can make with something before you make a purchase (after all, that is what I am here for!). So, I made a few cards and shared them in our Facebook group a few weeks ago.

I was trying to work out some alternative uses for the leaves die, and I thought using it to make a sort of doily was a great idea!

The soft colours on this one were really tricky to photograph. The colours are Pink Pirouette, Pear Pizzazz and Tip Top Taupe. But can you see the doily poking out of the side of the stamped layer? yes, its the leaves die cut, I did add some Pink Pirouette ink with a sponge to add some definition.

What is your favourite stamp or die from the bundle?

Have you seen this months Stamp of the Month Club? This month grab your copy of the Thoughtful Branches Bundle via my online store, and I will send you a 3 exclusive video tutorials and a card kit to make 6 cards! Yay!

Thoughtful Branches | Watercolour

Watercolour Background Thoughtful Branches card using Stampin' Up! UK supplies

Do you think I could get through a week of cards featuring the fabulous Thoughtful Branches Bundle without sharing some Watercolour? nope, me neither!

I am such a sucker for a good font, and I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make this sentiment the star of a card. You’re In My Thoughts is heat embossed in Gold over the top of this fabulous watercoloured background. The background super simple to create, if a little messy. Mint Macaron and Dapper Denim blended on a piece of Watercolour Paper using an Aqua-Painter.

The sequins are taken from a piece of the Gold Sequin Trim and adhered with some Fine-Tip Glue. Lovely!

Measurements:

Dapper Denim Card Base – half a sheet of A4, folding in half

Mint Macaron – 9.5 x 13.8 cm

Watercolour Paper – 8.5 x 12.8 cm
