Today I am participating in Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights.  The theme is Thank You.  I created this card with a specific friend in mind.  She believes in me and is quick cheer me on.  She shares her real life experiences with me.  She is one of the kindest women I have ever met.  There are many reasons to send a thank you card and in this case I will be letting her know how much I appreciate her kind words and support.

We have a new mini catalog going live on Sept. 6th in the US, and my card uses 2 of the products from that new catalog.  The Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks #162331 and the So Sincere Stamp set #162283.  Because they haven't gone live yet, I am not able to create a link for these items yet.  

I love getting inky with blending brushes and the new Abundant Beauty decorative masks really allow me make some beautiful designs.   Besides the autumn leave, there are snowflakes, houndstooth and a spectacular sunflower!!  These are a must for everyones tool box!  Just so beautiful and full of options!

Abundant Beauty Snowflake Gift Tags

Abundant Beauty Decorative Mask - Snowflake

 When I sent out the new mini catalog to my customers, I included a couple of treats..... one of which was this cute little gift tag.   To make this gift tag I used the new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks #162331 that will go live on Sept. 6th (when the new mini catalog goes live).  I decided to do a quick video showing how I made them, and included a 2nd version at the end of the video.

Tutorial Video


Let me tell you why I love gift tags.  When I hand someone a hostess gift, a gift tag turns the gift (bottle of wine, flowers, candy) into a more personal gift.  I didn't just go spend money to fulfill an obligation.... I picked out a gift specifically for them and a gift tag personalizes the gift.  Ask my family, I've always felt this way.  You don't even have to color coordinate your tags.  If you are tight on time, make a batch of neutral colored tags at the beginning of the season.  

Thanks for visiting my blog today!
Stay well,
Hugs,
