Today I am participating in Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights.  The theme is gratitude and I chose to focus on preparing holiday thank you cards.  Participants can choose any design or color they want..... but the theme is always Gratitude.  These blog highlights are so cool because you, the reader, can vote for your top five favorites by clicking here.  Of course I hope you will vote for mine, but regrardless of who you vote for, you are sure to be inspired by everyone's beautiful work.  

The Christmas Classics stamp and die bundle that I chose for my design does not include words of gratitude, so I did combine some other stamp sets for the sentiments.  All my product info can be found at the end of this blog post. 

Cutting instructions:
Card base: 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2".  This is a top fold card.
Card front: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" (this layer is embossed with the Timber 3D embossing folder)
Inner matte layer: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
Inner message liner: 3 3/4" x 5"
Sentiment label: die cut from Christmas Classics Dies (then I customized the size to fit my sentiment)

Personally, I am well in to my holiday card preparations because I have a craft fair this coming week that I am selling holiday cards at.  If you haven't started yet, this design is an easy card to make and you can be ready to send out your cards on time and in short order.  Just change the sentiment to suit your needs.

Enjoy the International Blog Highlights!

Textured Floral Birthday card

 

Textured Floral

Textured Floral/ Deckled Rectangle Dies, Brushed Brass Butterflies

One of my favorite things about stamping is the ability to customize.  Today is my Mom's birthday.  She loves flowers, butterflies and the colors purple and lavender.  So I was more than happy to use all of that on a card just for her.  I'm pretty sure mom is going to love it :)

Cutting instructions:
  • Card base: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4".  This is a side fold card.

Pumpkin card

Abundant Beauty Masks, Timber 3D embossing folder

Abundant Beauty Masks, Timber 3D embossing folder

I really wanted to make a card with a pumpkin on it, but hadn't bought one of the seasonal stamp sets this year, so I decided to get EXTRA creative.  I threw everything except the kitchen sink at this card......I used the Double Oval Punch to create the pumpkin.  I used a sponge dauber with Pumpkin Pie ink around the edges of punched out ovals of Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  To be honest, I created this pumpkin weeks ago.... and it has just been sitting on my desk waiting to be put on a card.......  I had left over leaves from the Paper Florist Dies, fussy cut the smallest flower from the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks and created the pumpkin stem from the Tree Rings Hybrid Dies.  The wood grain panels are adhered to a window sheet to give a fence like look.  I had fun just pulling a mix of supplies together for this card.  And lets be honest, stamping is fun.... whether you use few supplies or a bit of everything like I did in this card today.  Enjoy creating!
