Thanks so much

The theme is Christmas Thank You at the Card A Day Blog.  For my card I started with the stamped image of the jar with holly from Unity's Kit of the Month.  I used clear embossing powder then colored it in with markers and cut it out.  I attached it to the front of my card with foam tape. I stamped and punched the 'Thanks so much' sentiment and added a felt bird.

 

I lined the inside of the card with the same paper and then cut a white mat and inked the edges.  I also added a bit of the snowflake paper to the top of the mat.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Stop back tomorrow as we have a new challenge starting.

Thanks So Much - Creating Pretty Cards 7

I needed a thank you card and decided to use the sketch from Craft Project Central and based it on my {Love} Card.

I added a few extra pearls to the ribbon on the left hand side and one on each side of the bow. 

I also added the little flower stamp in the inside of the card from the Tiny Tags stamp set.

Once again I stamped then embossed the envelope.  It's a little thing but it really adds a lot when you send the card. 

Thanks for stopping by.

{Love} - Creating Pretty Cards 7

I created this card for this month's challenge at Craft Project Central.  The challenge runs all month long and you can enter as may times as you wish, but you must use Stampin' Up supplies only.  In the past I have started out with great intentions and somewhere along the line I've used something that wasn't Stampin' Up so I haven't entered.  Today however I got it right!!!

I stamped the medium sized doily onto whisper white card stock and punched it out with the 1 3/4" Circle punch.  The card base is Basic Gray and the pattern papers are from the Welcome Neighbor paper pack. 

For the inside I cut the Whisper White at 5 1/4" x 4 " and a border using the Welcome Neighbor DSP.

I stamped with the other three stamps from the Delicate Doilies set on the  envelope and then embossed using Melon Mambo Embossing powder.  I believe that it's a nice touch to finish off your card. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Snowflake Thanks

I am the designer at Card A Day Blog today the theme is Christmas Thank You Card. I started with a white cardstock base.I'm using the Stampin' Up Doily Punch as it reminds me of a snowflake.

 The Brushed silver paper is cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  On top of that I layered a white embossed and blue embossed cardstock.  I punched out of glitter paper the Doily three times. Just the bottom edge of each punched doily is overlapped. 

I made the tag starting with the bottom blue layer, white then the top blue layer.  After I glued then together I punched a hole for the lace bow.  I added a small tag with the sentiment of "thanks {so much} in silver ink.

For the inside I layered the brushed silver, blue and then a white mat.  I have the medium flower from the Boho Blossom punch in glitter paper on the inside.

Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Card Blog Hop Challenge Day 2 - Poinsetta Gift Card Holder

Welcome to Day 2 of the  Card A Day Blog hop. If you came from Christine Patton's awesome blog, Creative Genie-ous you are on the right path, (a complete list is posted at the end of this post if you get lost along the way.) Don't forget to participate in the card challenge for the weekend at the Card a Day Blog and a chance for some great prizes.

Today I'm sharing a gift card that I made with my Cricut and Design Studio. The card base is made with the George and the Basic Shapes cartridge along with the main layers.  You will need to decorate all four sides of this card. 

After cutting my base I scored the card part at 4 1/4 and the flap at 5 1/2. I inked all the edges inside and out with Vintage Photo, since all four sides of this card will be decorated. I then wrapped my ribbon around the front and back of the gluing on the front and back of the card and leaving about 1/8" to 1/4" from the edges where I will tie the bow.  I then layered the cardstock and designer paper  pieces onto the front and back of the card.  

The gift card slips into it own tag which hide under the flap of the card. The base of the tag is 3 1/4" x 4 1/4".  The gift card holder is cut at 3"x4" and has slots to hold the gift card in place.  I use a slot punch but you could cut the slots by hand or use photo corners to hold the gift card in place.
Now before you go if you leave me a comment AND are a follower of my blog you'll be entered into a drawing for some blog candy from me.  This is a separate prize from the Card A Day Blog prize.  Now onto Cindy Point at The Creative Pointe for her fabulous project.
