Hello friends. A friend requested several Thank You cards so I am sharing a few I made for her.
I used Altenew Adore You stamp set for this one. I colored the flowers with SU Bubble Bath and Flirty Flamingo Blends. The leaves with Granny Apple Green Blends. I fussy cut the images as I did not have a die for them. I embossed the white panel with SU Tasteful Textile EF (ret.) and added a white strip across the middle. I stamped the sentiment from the same set on the white strip and then glued two small strips of Granny Apple Green card stock to the two long edges. I then glued it to the panel.
I got this idea from a card on Pinterest. I stamped the Crumb Cake panel with an older MFT Burlap Background Stamp in Crumb Cake ink. I matted it to a Garden Green mat and then added the blue gingham strip. I die cut the white circle with a die from Spotlight on Nature dies and then stamped the heart from SU Heart Shaped stamp set in Garden Green ink. The cute blue flowers and sentiment banner are from the matching die set and thank you is from the heart stamp set.
My last card uses SU Memorable Blooms stamp & die set. The octagon shape is from the die set and is cut from a white panel, then embossed with SU Subtle EF (ret.) and mounted with foam tape. I used an older text stamp to stamp in the octagon shape in Crum Cake ink. The flowers are stamped, colored with SU Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green Blends, and then die cut with the matching die. I added foam tape to the section over the cut out area and glued the left side to the embossed panel. I also added a green leaf die cut under the stamped image. Thank you is from an older SU set, stamped on a stitched oval die cut, and then mounted with foam tape.
She really liked the cards and I am glad as I liked them too. :)
I will share the first card at The Flower Challenge (thanks Michele) as they are looking for Pink.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
