Thank You

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

I’m not sure but some of you may recognise this card.  I have cased it from the current catalogue, page 67.  It has been changed a little, including the stamp set, but I’m happy with it.

The card has been used for my “Thank You” cards for August.  I loved the soft colours used in the card.  I’ve used one of my 010a---blogfavourite stamp sets – Kina Eclectic.  Are you sick of it yet?  I’ve also used a piece of the beautiful Venetian Crochet Trim.  If you haven’t purchased it, I would say do it, as it is simply gorgeous.

As with all my “Thank You” cards, I’ve created them in C6 size (Australian size).  I love this size for this purpose!

Supplies –

  • Stamp Set – Kinda Eclectic, Express Yourself (Retired)
  • Ink – Baked Brown Sugar, Crisp Cantaloupe, Soft Sky
  • Cardstock – Soft Sky, Baked Brown Sugar
  • Punches – Bitty Butterfly, Elegant Butterfly

  • Accessories – Multipurpose Adhesive, Pearl Basic Jewels

  • Layer 2 – Baked Brown Sugar – 4 1/2″ x 1/2″ or 11.5cm x 2cm
  • Scrap Whisper White – 2 x Butterflies

  2. Ink sun image with Soft Sky & stamp onto same card on RHS
  3. Stamp “Thank You” onto card with Crisp Cantaloupe Ink

I found a lovely little card on Pinterest with the colours of Pistachio Pudding & Smokey Slate. I have spent a 20140715_143507acouple of hours trying to find it but do apologise for not being able to give you credit. I have put my own spin on it & well, looking at the card now, it doesn’t resemble the one I took my inspiration from.  Strange how that can happen hey.

I love this stamp set & am so very glad it didn’t retire. I ended up posting this to a good friend of mine the other day who is having a bit of a hard time. I just thought it would be very different to flowers, etc.  I only hope she likes it!

20140715_143545aIt would make for a very good male card too by just changing out the colours.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the images direct onto a piece of Very Vanilla CS using Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding & Smokey Slate Inks, prior to attaching with Multipurpose Glue.

Petal Parade…

In our SAB Classes for February & March, we used the stamp set “Petal Parade” along with the gorgeous DSP – Sweet Sorbet.  Today’s card has been done with the Envelope Punch Board.  The ladies were amazed at how versatile this little board is.  So many options, so little time!

Today’s card is one we will be creating in my Volunteer Class this afternoon. 
 
As with most of Friday’s card, it has been CASEd (Copied & Shared Everything) from Pinterest.  L.O.V.E this site!  Thanks Vicki for your inspiration!
 
It does use one of my favourite retired stamp sets, but that is the beauty about my Volunteer Class – I get to play with some of my retired products again.  The card can easily be recreated with current products.
