Good Morning Fellow Stampers!
TGIF for sure!! How is everyone? Did you survive the week? I've been elbow deep in preparing Product Shares to get out the door and hope that with one big final push over this weekend we'll get it all done and in the mail. I hate to hold anyone up on all these wonderful goodies; and I know everyone is chomping at the bit in great anticipation!! LOL Thankfully the Designer Series Paper shares only have "left the building" already!! It's supposed to be a hot weekend, so staying indoors at least part of the time might be good. I do know we have plans to spend the day at the Zoo on Sunday -- whooo hoooo. Baby giraffe here I come! LOL
I decided since Mojo Monday [MOJO500] ran this final challenge for 2 weeks, and we're within days of this challenge shutting down, that we'd jump in and play one last time. I'm playing with some brand new designer series paper that just layered together so well, and worked perfectly with this sketch. So let's applaud Mojo one last time, and let's go get crafty!!! LOL
A very special friend treated me to a special 50th Birthday dinner the other evening.
She's a dear sweet friend, and a very special lady ~ so a special thank you card is in order I think!!
I'm showcasing the Whole Lot of Lovely designer series paper today! Isn't amazing how nicely all the designs play together in this paper ?
And even better, I've matted and accented the entire piece with Tranquil Tide ~ how perfect does that coordination look? Wow!!
We have some pretty fabulous "thank you" stamp sets in this catalog; have you looked closely at Thankful Thoughts ??
This stamp set has some really wonderful sentiments ~ words that just really speak the heart for a lot of different occasions!
I cut this oval with the Stitched Shapes Framelits first, then carefully aligned my two sentiments just the way I wanted - the "Thank You" at a slight angle at the top . . . and the rest of my "note" set straight on below. I love the way this turned out.
I wrapped Silver Metallic Thread and laid it behind the adorable "felt" Tranquil Tide bow. You can find these in the 2017-2019 In Color Bitty Bow Embellishments collection.
We're "turning to the inside" ~ and here's a little trick for you . . .
Did you cut something or try something, and then ended up tossing it aside and try again because it didn't turn out quite right the first time?
Well, take those tidbits and incorporate them on the insides of your cards . . . it's the perfect place to use them up!!
A BIG thank you once again to Mojo Monday . . . the sketches are a real inspiration to me, and I feel like I end up with fabulous designed cards every time! We'll have to go pull from the treasure trove in the weeks ahead!! Stampers . . . if you didn't participate in a product share yet, there is still time. And you can get a sampling of this beautiful paper to try out for yourself. You will love all the beautiful products we have this year!! Be sure to check out the Product Shares page, and email me today!!
Until Next Time . . .
