One Last Thank You Card For The Year!

I'm so excited with amount of layouts and cards I have been able to get accomplished the last few days. 
Time, like many people, is something I struggle with. 
I often look for great and easy sketches to work with, to give me inspiration and even motivation. 
Today's card was inspired by #302 at CAS(E) This Sketch! 



This creation uses the Grateful Heart Cardmaking stamp set. 



With an awesome color combination of three main colors, Emerald, Mint, and Toffee. 


My card base is made of Emerald cardstock.
I then layered a piece of Toffee cardstock.
I took two pieces of Oh What Fun Patterned Paper, layered them with Emerald cardstock and offset them on the card. 
While the Oh What Fun Patterned Paper Packet is sold out, many of you may have purchased it. 
It's so versatile and really can be used for more than Christmas photos. 




I used the "Thank You" sentiment from the Grateful Heart Cardmaking stamp set as well.
I stamped the sentiment in Toffee on the strip of Mint cardstock. 
Then mounted the sentiment on a piece of Emerald cardstock.



I distressed many of the edges of the layers with Toffee ink
I hope you enjoyed today's card, please let me know if you have any questions at all.

Hello Friend Card

Since the weather has been so rainy here lately I have stayed in a bit more. 
This has been great since it has given me a bit more time to craft. 
I have been working on layouts and cards most of the weekend, between laundry and watching movies with my kids. 



Today's card I am sharing, is another creation using the Grateful Heart Cardmaking stamp set. 


If you haven't noticed yet, this set was definitely my favorite of the entire 
You have a few more days before this catalog technically ends, and the stamp sets become while supplies last. 


This card uses a color combination of three main colors, Heather, Raspberry and Ballerina. 


My card base is made of Heather cardstock.
I then layered a piece of Raspberry cardstock.
I stamped a layer of Heather, but used the lighter side of the cardstock. 
I used the little sprig from the Grateful Heart Cardmaking stamp set, and stamped randomly using Pewter ink. 




I used the "Hello Friend" sentiment from the Grateful Heart Cardmaking stamp set as well.
I stamped the sentiment in Pewter on the strip of Ballerina cardstock.


I distressed all of the edges of the layers with Pewter ink




The inside of the card, just has a white panel, that is also distressed with Pewter ink.


I hope you enjoyed today's card, please let me know if you have any questions at all.

Grateful Heart Butterfly Card

As the year winds down, so does another great catalog from Close to my Heart. 
The 2018 Holiday Expressions catalog ends on December 31st, in just a few days. 


This catalog was certainly one of my favorite. 
I purchased at least 1 packet of every patterned paper we offered, and some I purchase 3 or more. 
The Grateful Heart collection was certainly one of my favorites. 
This particular card uses the Grateful Heart Cardmaking Stamp Set from that collection. 


I have used this stamp set before many times, it is definitely one of my go to sets for just about any occasion. 
This time around, I needed to create a Thank You card to send to one of my community partners at my daily grind. 
I was so excited to work with them a few weeks ago and couldn't wait to make them a handmade card. 
So this is what I came up with to send to them...



The black paper with the diamond patterned came from the Hello Pumpkin Paper Packet


I loved this paper pack, because all of the cute black and white papers, went so well with other colors, things that weren't even Halloween or scary themed. 

I layered the black paper with a piece of Smoothie cardstock



Then a smaller strip of Canary cardstock.

I punched out a circle from the same paper, flipped it over and used the dotted side as an accent piece underneath the Butterfly. 



The Butterfly was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, then colored with 4 Copic Colors. 
Then I popped the Butterfly up on some of our 3-D Foam Tape.




Our 3-D Foam Tape comes in 2 different thicknesses and different widths. 

The regular 3-D Foam Tape, what I used, is Double-sided, 2 mm tall; with 2 rolls per package, ⅜" and ¼" widths, 75" per roll.


The thin 3-D Foam Tape, is Double-sided, 1mm tall; with 2 rolls per package, ⅜" and ¼" widths, 75" per roll.
I love this stuff!

I distressed all of the edges of the cardstock and the circle with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.



I stamped the sentiment, "Thank You" with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink as well. 
While we no longer carry the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, I still use it and have several in my personal collection. 
I love using them for Comic coloring specifically. 


I hope you enjoyed today's card.
