Sunflowers

Hello friends!  Today I have another Thank you card for you.  I used PTI's sunflower set and a sentiment from Inside and Out: Thank You.  I stamped the sunflowers in multiple sizes and colors.  Next I added some greenery.  Finally I added two different colors of stickles in the middles of the flowers and stamped the sentiment.  Quick and easy, except for the stickle drying time.

Little Bitty Bird Thanks

Hello friends.  I have a little bitty bird thank you card today.  One layer, three colors.  Simple and easy.  I needed a ton of thank yous after we had a small house warming party.  My friends are so sweet and brought me fun little gifts.  I went to my stash for thank yous but all I found were birthday.  Isn't that how it always is?  You never have what you need!  Anyway time was of importance so I whipped up a few of these guys.  I love bitty bird!  Thanks for stopping in!

Butterfly Thank You

Hello blog friends!  I am back from my trip to Colorado Springs.  It was awesome!  We had a little time to sight see and I got to go to Cave of the Winds.  Soooo cool!  Anyway vacation is over, its back to school tomorrow!  In the meantime I have a card for you.  Using patterned papers from Bobunny and Echo Park.  Stamps are PTI:  Inside and Outside Thank You and Life.  A bow and some bling and its all done!  Thanks for stopping in today!

A More Traditional Thank You

My Husband bought me this Penny Black stamp set for Christmas.  I love the little cat.  I love cats.  Rather than stash away for next year I decided to use it to make a few more thank yous.  I love coloring and Penny Black stamps are perfect for that.  The sentiment is from Inside and Out Thank You (PTI).  The base is Pure Poppy and the strip is Ripe Avocado.  Simple and easy to mail!  Thanks for stopping by!

More Thank Yous

Good morning friends. A few more thank yous left over from my color blocking fun.
The first card uses the negative image.   After I cut the butterflies I trimmed it up to match up with the card front.  I added a sheer ribbon, sentiment stamp, and some stickles.  The die and the sentiment stamp are both PTI.

And here is a little something using the positive image.  More stickles, some bling, a button and a little ribbon.  Trail is hand drawn and sentiment is from PTI Inside and Out Thank you.  Thanks for stopping in today!

More Colorblocking Fun

A few more Colorblocked cards. If you are interested in the technique check out Maile Belle's blog which is where I came upon the idea.
All of these are basically variations on the same theme.  For the actual die cut I pasted the cardstock on some very flimsy stock as my Cuttlebug can not handle two layers of PTI card.  I used some stickles on these and the stamps are from Inside Out Thank You.  All will be used for my Christmas thank yous.

Color Blocked Thank Yous

Hi there blog friends!  I was blog surfing today when I came across this post by Maile Belles.  It shows how to color block with dies and I just had to try it out!
My first card here features the Christmas tree die from Papertrey ink. I need some Christmas present thank yous and I thought this would work nicely.  I have the Christmas motif with fun non traditional colors.  I used some bling I had laying around and some extra strips to fancy it up.  The sentiment is from Inside and Out Thank you.

This second card also uses the Christmas tree. A slightly different layout to change things up.  What do you think?  I think I like the first one best.  Anyway I am off to sign them and get them in the mail.  Thanks for stopping by!

Masculine Thank You

Well at least I think its a masculine thank you. I sent it to a man, so hopefully he wasn't thinking it was a frilly girl card. I wanted to put ribbon on it but instead settled for twine. All products are from Papertrey Ink. The stamp sets are Inside and Out: thank you and Through the Trees.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Its summer so we have been traveling off and on. My kids are out of school so I have been taking them places and hanging out with them. I really haven't done a whole lot of crafting lately. I did, however, upload quite a few pics today so I should have some blog fodder this week. As always, thanks for stopping by!
