Simple Thank You Cards

Hello Everyone

For today I am sharing some simple thank you cards I made recently. Did you know I give a thank you card with every order at a party or class?

This set was made using some beautiful Designer Paper squares - I picked the stunning Gold Soiree paper (be quick if you want some - is on the retirements list!)  It has metallic elements and is so pretty.

The greeting stamp is from Sassy Salutations and the envelopes are stamped with images from the Flower Patch stamp set.

Hope you like :)

Flower Patch no. 2 & 3

Hello Everyone

Now I know everyone is showing you Christmas stuff right now - but I still have two Flower Patch projects to show you!

How cute is this one ?

I used the leaf stamps and layered them with the same colours, (Real Red and Pacific Point). I just stamped off to create the background leaf and stamped the internal design without stamping off.

I did a fancy fold too, Just scoring an inch or so from the right side and then folding the left hand side to match up in the middle. I find that is easier than measuring!

And this one is my favourite - love how easy it is to do the two step stamping and I was so happy with how this colour combination came out. Soft Sky and Pool Party, Wild Wasabi and Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey.

I am back with some festive planning on Tuesday - I have a treat box video for you. :)

VIDEO Awesome Flower Patch

Hello Everyone

Today I am sharing a video on using the Flower Patch stamps and matching framelits. There are tips on the video - but since I filmed this I learned two more helpful tips….

1. When mounting the stamps on to your clear block, lay them face down and bring the block down on to them. It prevents accidentally stretching the stamp while mounting it.

2. When stamping the larger images, (like the Tangello Twist flower in the video), you will get a better result with a pad of grid paper or a pricking mat, (available in the Stampin' Up! catalogue), under the cardstock. When my class ladies stamped with only one sheet of grid paper, they struggled to get a clean image - but when we tried with the pricking mat it worked perfectly.

OK - now on with the video…
