A Simple Thanks Card

Well, well, well. Look who decided to show up...me! It's been an awful long time yet again. I seriously thought I'd be well out of this funk I've been in FOR THE LAST YEAR (maybe two).

My creative spark has seemed to take a down turn. I used to have so many thoughts and ideas, now I have very few. So, when that spark ignites, I have to get to the craft room and let it flow!

Funny thing is, even though I hardly create, I'm still buying hahaha! But I've heard that crafting and buying are two separate hobbies!

Lately, my store of choice has been Scrapbook.com. They have such an amazing selection, always have a discount code or freebies. Only downside is the duties I have to pay every time...oh well. Shipping is quick, even to Canada.

So, here is a clean, simple thanks card...

This uses the Mini Hello Dog Die Set which is an exclusive Scrapbook.com product and which also was a freebie! The large "thanks" is from the Concord and 9th Markered Die Set, which unfortunately is no longer available and the "friend" comes from an amazing stamp and die set called Thanks, Friend.

I also used some VERY old patterned paper from Fancy Pants...gotta love using the neglected patterned paper!!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm going to try better to show up but I'm not going to promise.

I hope all is well, my friends!!

Thank You Studio Katia!

Hello and welcome back!!  I'm here to share what is unfortunately my last post for Studio Katia.  Today I made a thank you card, which I think is fitting for this occasion.

I had a ton of fun playing with all the fabulous stamps and dies in Katia's shop and am very thankful for the opportunity to share them with you!

I started by stamping "thank you" from the Mini Thank You Stamp Set repeatedly onto some ivory cardstock using a very light beige ink.  I cut the panel down using the rectangle die from the Dotted Patterns Set 1.

To give the card a bit of interest and dimension, I used the Stitched Loops die and cut directly out of the panel.  I die cut this 4 times.  I stacked the outer frame using 2 of the die cuts and the inner circles has 4.  This gave a really cool effect.  After adhering the ivory panel onto a pink card base, I simply glued all the pieces into the negative space.

I die cut the "thank you" as well as three hearts out of the same pink cardstock.  These dies are from the Co-ordinating Dies to the Mini Thank you Stamp Set.  I used liquid glue to adhere the sentiment and the hearts and topped them off with a generous coating of Clear Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents.  I also used a few sequins from the Majestic Fusion sequins for a bit of added sparkle.

And that finishes the card!!  I want to thank Katia for the time she gave me on this team, it was wonderful!!

Thank you for stopping by today!  I'll be back soon :)
