TEACHER THANK YOU CARD

OUR PRIMARY COLORS ARE 1-2-3...RED, YELLOW AND BLUE.  That is what first came to my mind when I was thinking about this card.  So, I thought also about rainbows full of color too.  Here is what I came up with:

This would be a perfect Teacher card to thank them for all they do!!  I used the pad to paper technique for the background - just rubbed the ink pads across the daffodil card stock.

Then I punched out a daffodil cardstock flower and stamped with pumpkin pie in the center with the flower from Fabulous Florets.  I used the leaf from that same stamp set to put the leaves right on the rainbow.  This is layered on top of a marina mist and then onto the real red card base.

The "THANKS SO MUCH" sentiment is from OH HELLO stamp set.  I added one little pearl in the "O" of the word SO just to catch your eye.

I am entering this card at Late Night Stampers.  Go see the other fab ideas from this challenge, won't you?

OFF THE GRID AND OH HELLO THANK YOU CARD

AS DEMONSTRATORS, we get a magazine every other month full of ideas and creativity.  On page 7 of this month's magazine was a card that I knew the moment I saw it I had to do one similar.

The card stock is crumb cake and the inks are crumb cake, old olive and night of navy.  I used OFF THE GRID stamp in the background with the GORGEOUS GRUNGE splatter here and there.

 I chose to use the chevron and outline from OH HELLO stamp set in old olive along the bottom.  I did NOT use the Stamp-a-ma-jig because I wanted it to have the grunge look and therefor not be perfectly lined up.

 From a scrap of designer paper I punched out the elegant butterfly and the small blossom.  I used my baked brown sugar marker to make the dots on them.

The Thanks stamp is from the OH HELLO set and in night of navy, stamped off once first.

That's it.  A fun collage card with grunge AND oh so easy!!

SMALL SIZED THANK YOU CARDS

Howdy Bloggies,

I am still stamping with A ROUND ARRAY stamp set and this time I also used OH HELLO stamp set.
I saw an idea very close to this on Yvettes Paper Garden blog.  Thanks for the idea Yvette!!

 I used basic gray card stock 6 x 3, scored at 3 and the polka dots embossing folder.

I used the newARTISAN LABEL PUNCH after I stamped the chevron stamp from OH HELLO with gray ink on whisper white card stock.  I also punched out some white to layer behind the label.  Then I used real red with the 1 1/4" scallop circle punch to layer behind the THANK YOU from A ROUND ARRAY stamp set to give it a pop of color.

The two cards on the outside are folded so they open from the bottom.  The one in the middle opens on the right.  They are all the same size, just facing different ways.

I hope you try some of these smaller 3" square enclosure cards as thank you cards.  They are quick and easy to make and FUN!!
STAMPS:  A ROUND ARRAY, OH HELLO
INK:  basic gray
CARD STOCK: whisper white, basic gray, real red
OTHER:  polka dots embossing folder

THANKS SO MUCH CARDS

HI BLOGGIES:  I have been having such a wonderful time making a card every single day this month.  I look forward to going into my craft room in the morning to see what I can create each day.

I am working on my Open House that I am holding next week to distribute the new catalogs to my customers and to thank them for their support and friendship this past year.

 This idea comes from Stampin' Up! artistic department.  I LOVE how simple it is but how much POW it has.  The middle part of everything is darkest and then the other 3 are lightly stamped.  Monochromatic is very appealing don't you think?

Here are my first stack of thank you cards.  I used retiring Baja Breeze ink, card stock and ribbon.

It is hard to see but the darkest butterfly has one mini pearl on it's body.  Just a little bling to catch your attention.

I just couldn't get the color right with my flash without my flash, etc.  It was too bright with the flash and too dark without it.

Stamp set:  Oh Hello!
Other:  1/8" ribbon, pearls, petite butterfly punch
Card stock and ink:  Baja Breeze Whisper White

Thanks for visiting.  I would love to hear your comments.
