JoAnna's Thank You Card

My daughter's good friend JoAnna made cupcakes for me for my Birthday ~ beginning of this month...sorry no pic', I already ate 'em all!  Anyway, this is the thank you card (folder) I created for her to thank her for all her sweetness!  I cased the idea from Patty Bennett, she has a tutorial on her blog, check it out ~ so cool to use the new Envelope Maker in other ways than making envelopes! 

 

I love making the envelope inserts with the Framelits Envelope Liners, makes the whole thing really come together, don't you think?  I used Gumball Green for the base and Cherry Cobbler for the inside under my computer generated thank you note stamped on Very Vanilla CS and punched out with Deco Labels Framelits.  The front of the card and the envelope liner are from Season of Style DSP pack.  Thanks so much on the front is in the Simply Sketched Stamp Set.  Cut out with Circle Framelits with Candy Dots as embellishments.  I used my Word Window Punch to punch out the label for the little file folder.   The ribbon is Stitched Satin  in Gumball Green. 

Thanks again JoAnna, you made my Birthday EXTRA SPECIAL!

Happy Easter!

Hope everyone is enjoying a Blessed Easter Day.  We're going to my Sister's in Burson (Valley Springs) for her annual BBQ.  I made her one of the little petite purses as a little hostess gift. 



Sorry, the lighting doesn't do it justice!  I used the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set for the sentiment and put 4 little nuggets inside stamped with the It's a Wrap Holidays Easter stamp to cover them. I used the Boho Blossom Punch for the little closure and the new Bright Blossoms Stamp Set for the little tulip.  I embossed the little handbag with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.  I added a little Rhinestone to the top of the tulip and a couple of the pearls onto the edge of the sentiment that was punched with the Word Window Punch and layered onto the Modern Label Punch and sponged on the edges with Early Espresso Ink.  



This little box treat I made and gave to a lady at work on Friday.  I used the Matchbox Die with new Summer Smooches Paper, isn't it pretty and bright?  I used the Boho Blossom Punch and stamp and added pearls in the center of each flower.  A couple of stems of leaves were punched with the XL Two-Step Bird Punch and slipped behind the flowers.  I made the window using the new Label Framelits (smallest one) and covered it with the clear window sheet.  I saw a similar project on-line at Connie Stewart's site
Simply Simple Stamping. Thanks for sharing Connie!

Hope everyone has a great Easter, the weather here today is perfect!  Big hugs, Julia
