A Tweet Thank You!

I made this card a few days ago. It is a card for one of my uplines to thank her. She is a wonderful and very talented woman!

All products are from Stampin' Up! I used the bird stamp from the Fun & Fast Notes set and the thank you from the Much Appreciated set. I used started out with the dp from Flowers for You and went with that to coordinate my colors for the rest of the card. I used Lovely Lilac and Tempting Turquoise cs. I also used whisper white cs too! I make the scalloped edge I used my 3/4 inch circle punch and a piece of the Sticky Strip. I first placed the strip on the back of the lovely lilac cs and then pealed off the red strip to expose the sticky tape. I then placed the circles right next to each other. For the bird and the saying, I stamped them in Stazon black. I used my blender pen along with pixie pink, garden green, and sky blue classic ink pads to color in the bird. I also used my so saffron marker to color in the beak. I thought that I would make the bird pop a bit my using my blender pen and the basic gray ink pad to shade around the bird. To the flower, I attached a pink rhinestone brad from the fire collection. I attached all of this to the tempting turquoise and then popped that layer with some dimensionals.

I enjoyed making this card because I used colors that I do not normally use, but really like! Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!

A Thank You Card!

This is a Thank You card that I created using Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #43 (WSC43). Love her challenges!!!

I made this card for a fellow blogger, Mercy over at Lord Have Mercy, because I won some fantastic blog candy from her. Check out her blog! She does some fantastic work! All products are from Stampin' Up! except for the little rhinestones that are from KaiserCraft and the embossing folder from Provo Craft for the Cuttlebug. I used whisper white, pretty in pink, and barely banana card stock. I used my pretty in pink, barely banana markers, and the flower from the So Much set to create the background for this card. For the pretty in pink strip, I first used my corner rounder to create the scalloped edged, then I dry embossed it using the Birds and Swirls embossing folder in my Sizzix machine. (I do not have a Cuttlebug!) For the next part of the card, I cut out my layers, rounded two of the corners with the corner rounder, and then glued them together. I Then punched out a scallop circle out of both barely banana and pretty in pink with the scallop circle punch. I stamped the Thank you from the Much Appreciated set in pretty in pink. Then I punched it out using the 1 3/8 circle punch and layered that on top of the scalloped circles. For a final touch I added two pink rhinestones that I won from the blog candy to the corners!

Thanks for looking!!! Have a great day!

Here is my first card....

I made this for a close friend of mine. (Everything is made from Stampin' Up! products unless noted otherwise.) I started with white cardstock (not from SU), then stamped the bird with a flower from Fast and Fun Notes in basic black and the thank you from Much Appreicated in old olive. I colored the bird and the flower with Pretty in Pink and old olive for the stem. I attached three flowers (I am not sure where I got them) with antiqued copper brads from Making Memories and one brad on the stamped flower. I then used the ticket corner punch (which I love) to accent the corners. If you look really close I also used the Color Spritzer with pretty in pink over the images to tie it all together! I then matted it to close to cocoa and attached all of it to the white cardstock(from Joanns) for the card.
