Clean and Simple thanks

DSCN7997

This clean and simple thank you card was also inspired by Andrea Walford and her Sunny Stampin’ blog.

I decided to go with the Island Indigo and Rich Razzleberry color combo.  I loved how rich the colors look on the stark white base.

Stamps:  Oh, Hello

Ink:  Rich Razzleberry, Island Indigo

Paper:  Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, Sycamore Street DSP

Accessories:  Basic Rhinestones

Vintage Verses on Sycamore Street

DSCN7995

Here’s a card inspired by the lovely Andrea Walford on her Sunny Stampin’ blog.  I took the basic design and used what I had to create a similar card.

My color scheme came from the Sale-a-Bration Sycamore Street DSP.  I highlighted the Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango color combo.

Stamp set:  Vintage Verses

Ink:  Tangerine Tango

Paper:  Island Indigo, Whisper White, Sycamore Street DSP

Patterned Occasions card

I just love the catchy little phrases in the Patterned Occasions stamp set.  Take for instance, this little elephant.  Look at this cutie little sentiment – thanks a ton!  Adorable!  This card was even easier than yesterday’s card!

Just stamp, punch and adhere!  Really!

Mini Cards

DSCN1851

Here are the 3X3” cards that I made during the open house last Saturday. 

DSCN1856

This card was inspired by Leslie, one of my dear friends and club members who came Saturday.  Since we were using the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and framelits, we decided to try putting a valentine together with the bundle.  I think it was a fabulous idea, Leslie!

Here was the card I made as a sample idea.  I used the Patterned Occasions stamp set that will be available in JUST 4 DAYS!!!  That’s all you have left to wait until Sale-a-Bration starts!

Open House Valentine treats

DSCN1852

I saw a similar idea for a Valentine treat somewhere and decided to make my own version of this idea. 

I came up with this little darling treat!

There is a doily behind all of this, although it really just blends in with the background. 

I cut a few hearts with the Hearts a Flutter framelits and the Hearts a Flutter DSP.  I stamped that scalloped edge heart in Primrose Petals and cut it out with the framelits as well. 

Next, I added a full heart punch of the silver glimmer paper.

I took some of the large glue dots from the holiday mini to attach that treat bag.

I topped it all off with a Real Red bow.

Darling! 

Stamps:  Hearts a Flutter

Ink:  Primrose Petals

Paper:  Primrose Petals, Hearts a Flutter DSP, Silver Glimmer paper

Accessories:  Hearts a Flutter framelits, doilies, Real Red satin ribbon, 1X8” cello bags, Full heart punch
