ELEGANT THANKS

I used the Taylored Expressions Foil It Seasonal Sprig panel on this card.  I ran it thru the laminator with gold foil and then added the Thanks die cut.  I die cut the backer of the sentiment with vellum and for the thanks I die cut using the gold shiny card stock.  I also added stickles to the berries for a frosted look.  

FALL SHINE!

This Fall card is all glitter & foil!  I started with the Striped Background hot foiled in silver on black card stock.  The oak leaf (gold glitter) is from Taylored Expressions Stitched leaves & the other frond (copper glitter) is from Studio Light Wonderful Autumn.  The Thanks die was a freebie with a Taylored Expressions order a few years ago.  

BOLD BRANCHES

This was the July Gift with purchase stamp set from Taylored Expressions called Bold Branches.  I stamped the leaf with VersaMark ink & then white embossing powder on Cilantro card stock.  It's such a pretty combo.  

ABSTRACT

I was inspired to use the Essentials by Ellen Abstract stamp set for two 4bar sized cards.   The Thanks die is from Altenew.  The rainbow set was from Ellen Hutson.  

 

THANKFUL

I made a few Thanksgiving cards.  I have enjoyed the Concord & 9th All the Letters dies as you can choose whatever sentiment you want to use on your card.  THANKFUL -  I added the Taylored Expressions Harvest Mini Strips for a secondary greeting.  Most of the card stock that I used for the letters is from Concord & 9th - all the falls colors.  The Scattered Leaves Embossing Folder is from Taylored Expressions.  I also used the Rectangle Masking Stencils from Taylored Expressions to mask off the area that I ink blended.  I like the white border around the blended rectangle.  

I started with the Kwan Crafts Leaves Embossing Folder on Canson XL watercolor paper.  

THANKFUL...in all things give thanks.  Happy Thanksgiving!

THANKS

As I mentioned, I just love the colors of Fall.  Here is a fun Thanks card that uses those pretty colors!  The Background is Altenew Dotted Swirl.  The leaves are from Lawn Fawn Stitched Leaves and the other ones tucked in are Ellen Hutson Gourd-Jus die set.  Thanks is from Altenew called Bold Thanks.  Looks like my background layer is askew on my card - I think it's too late to fix it.  😞

BLACK & WHITE

Black & White thanks card!  I used the Unity Stamp Wildflower Corner floral and then added the MFT Big Thanks for a clean and simple card.  

BIG THANKS!

Rainbow background inspired by Carissa Wiley at Sprinkled With Glitter.  I didn't have the exact inks that she used but these turned out so pretty!  So far I just made one card with the backgrounds but will be using the others soon.

BIG THANKS!

I just love this new floral from Flora & Fauna called Floral Bear.  This time I didn't color anything, I just attached the MFT Big Thanks die over top of the stamped floral.  Quick & Easy! 

PRETTY FLORAL

Zig Markers that I used on my cards for today!  I'm really into the Zigs lately, huh?  

This pretty floral is from Flora & Fauna called Floral Bear.  

Various sentiments - Happy Birthday & Thanks from Waffle Flower Big Dots Sentiment.  The Best Mom Ever stamp is from an old wood mount Hero Art stamp.  

FALL CLOCHE

I'm loving the Avery Elle Cloche stamp set and dies.  I love how it looks with the greenery at the top and then a few fall decorations inside.  The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions Iconic Wishes Fall.  I added dimension by die cutting the cloche 3 more times and then mounted to the front of an A2 woodgrain card base.  I made a few fun Christmas tags using this set as well - stay tuned!

FALL BACKGROUND

I love the beauty of Fall, so I enjoyed using my Copic markers to color this background.  This stamp is from Taylored Expressions called Floral Fields Background.     

The background was perfect for this pretty Fall card.  I used the Taylored Expressions Iconic Wish - Fall Stamp & Die Combo for the leaf image.  The Wonky Oval is by My Favorite Things.

thanks...

I made a few more of these as I had mailed the ones I made in April.  I started with notecards that I bought at Wal-Mart.  I really like the graphic embossed pattern for these Thanks cards. I die cut various thanks words that I had in my collection.  

Thanks!

Big Thanks & Fine Line Florals from Concord & 9th.  I couldn't resist this Big Thanks die - it is different and so bold!  

More Daisy Love

When I started making cards with this Mondo Gerbera Daisy I couldn't stop!  It's so pretty!  

Daisy now Sunflower...

This Gerbera daisy could also be a sunflower - Can you tell that I love this stamp?  It's the Mondo Gerbera Daisy stamp & die from Essentials by Ellen.

More thanks

One more card using the re-made Wal-Mart notecards.  The thanks die is from The Stamp Market.  It's so cool, the set includes a shadow die for layering. 

Thanks Cards

Good Morning!  I found another set of notecards from Wal-Mart that I re-made.  I like the retro pattern and the colors on these notecards.  The picture doesn't show it but the cards are embossed so they have a lot of dimension.  I used a stitched rectangle die to cut out the front of the card and then added die cut thanks words.  I used a scalloped black border and attached to the front of a card base.  

Thanksgiving Blessings

I created a few Thanksgiving cards this year.  I don't always have this holiday covered for card making but these pretty stamped wreaths turned out lovely!  I used the Amuse Studio Autumn Wishes stamp set & the sentiment came from the Gina K. Designs Autumn Wreath Builder stamp set.  I started out by stamping with Onyx Versafine ink & clear embossing for the wreath and the sentiment.  I did quick Copic coloring with markers that matched my background paper choices.  

I added a sentiment to the envelope flap along with a pretty stamped leaf.  

I found the perfect sentiment for inside the card.  It is from Taylored Expressions Iconic Wishes Fall stamp set.  On the back of the card I used the personalized stamp that we received from Taylor at the Friday night Stamp Joy event in October.
