Thank You

This thank you card is so appropriate to come back with after being away so long.  I am so sorry it took so long to learn the new format of blogspot.  I hope to start posting new ideas weekly. 

Wedding Season

We are attending a wedding this afternoon so I thought it only appropriate that I share a wedding card this morning.  I have seen many versions of this card and I love them all.  I think adding layers takes a card to the next level of elegance.  I also happen to like using Whisper White and Basic Black card stock for my wedding cards. 

Stay tune!  I will publish the card I made for the wedding we are attending today with you tomorrow.  I used the new Mr. and Mrs. stamp from Stampin' Up.

Great Grad

I thought I would share a similar  graduation card to one I made for a young friend of mine who just graduated from High School.  You can make the card personal by customizing it using the correct school colors and adding the name of the high school and year to the front.  I use a word document and my oval punches to add the personal information.

A Memorial Thank You

Memorial Day weekend is coming up and I thought it would nice to make a red, white and blue thank you.  I found this idea on Pinterest and thought I would share with you my version of the card.

Make a few thank you cards ahead of time to send.  A handmade card really does show your gratitude.

Square Lattice Embossing Folder

There are a few types of greeting cards that I like to make sure I always have on hand.  One of them is thank you cards.  I feel it is important to not only thank a family member or friend for a kind act verbally but to also follow up with a card.  I try to always make mine handmade.  For this sample I used a circle punch and the Square Lattice embossing folder.  

New products from the Occasions Mini

I don't know about you but I love using embossing folders. On this card, I used Stampin' Up's new Textured Impressions Adorning Accents Embossing folder and the stamp set 'Bordering on Romance'. The stamped dots along the embossed edge is part of this stamp set along with the flowers I cut out. Hope my Mother likes it.

Sizzix Paper Doily

I've been working on a few things this past week and thought I should them share with you. I love exploring new ways to use the new Paper Doily (Lg. Sizzlit Die). Sometimes the simplest card can be the best for a solemn occasion. What do you think?
