Thank You Cut Out

With a cutting file from GetSilvered, it is such a pleasure to create new cards in a minute.

So do check up her site:

http://www.getsilvered.com/

The cutting files are free and they come in several format, svg, studio, etc...

The only thing to do with the silhouette is to size the file so as the card will fit in an A2 envelope.

As you might know by now, I have a little something for Tiffany blue, so I added a folder inside the card in that color.

Until next time.

Quick Little Cards

Mason Jar, you are everything... in kraft with a mason jar stamped on vellum with silver ink, and a heart punch to let the sentiment peer through.

I added a little piece of string around the neck of the mason jar, and stamp a red heart with a stick from Stamps by Judith.

Many Thanks, all CAS

Because sometimes revisiting old models of cards is rewarding, I felt like making some more Clean And Simple thank you cards.

Here come the blue on silver collection, using those beautiful Sparkle and Sprinkles thank you stamps, "Thanks a Bunch".

-337-

This round sentiment in silver ink, just pop up of the blue... I lined it with white and silver card stock.

-338-

From the same stamp collection, a majestic "thank you" all adorned with swirls.

-339-

And to go back to basic, a french thank you, really classy because very plain.

-340-

A few months back, I made some "It's A Shower" (cf post 150), using the Martha Stewart line of gifts punch.

I reused this old idea adding "a note of thanks" sentiment I printed on my computer. I just love this font, called Channel slanted.

Until next time!

Deep Edge cards from Bird's Cards

Pinterest and the web are full of resources when you begin using your Silhouette Cameo.

How sweet it is when you fall on beautiful free cutting files, easy to download and use.

Bird's Card blog (http://www.birdscards.com/) has those "Deep edge" cutting files that allowed me to design a few easy and simple cards.

Thank you Bird for being so generous and for the beautiful inspiration we can find in your blog...

I added a "thank you" sentiment to this deep edge card (#5) and a Tiffany blue liner.

-335-

This one is the Deep Edge #1. I added a band of card stock. The sentiment was printed and cut using a Spellbinder Nestabilities, label #10 die cut.

I put a white ribbon behind it.

-334-

The two following deep edge cards are the #3 cutting files and I just added a Happy Birthday" cut in silver card stock. The large clear ribbon, and the silver mesh one are actually holding the sentiment in place.

Bird's Cards blog is a mine of neat ideas and cutting files... go visit it!!

Piano Keyboard Thank You

Because I seem to never have enough of those piano cards... (cf posts: 43, 254, 303)

A change to my usual Piano Birthday card, this time, I made a thank you one.

The web is full of piano keyboards template to print. I made mine to fit a 4bar size card (47/8 inch).

I then printed a sentiment and cut it in 1/2 inch tag. I rounded the corners and propped it with 3D glue dots.

-314-

To finish it nicely, I added a red ribbon.

The inside is lined in white linen.

Until next time!

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you

Thank you...

I found a beautiful card on Splitcoastamper from AoricotRose that "talked" to me.

Check it out on:

What a smart idea to punch the flower pots out!

-292-

I used a PunchBunch punch and a Sparkle n' Sprinkle little sentiment.

The plant is part of an older stamp set I own... no name, sorry.

Until next time...

Lacrosse Thank You

LACROSSE...

... Thank you

Here comes the end of the school year, and with it, the end of the spring sports season. It is a bitter sweet time, because just when you begin to know the parents, the coaches, and players, you have to part... until next year.

I volunteered to make the thank you cards for the coaches and have the kids sign a card for our team moms who work so hard for us for 4 months.

Needless to say, I had fun.

Our high school colors are red and black and our team is the Vikings.... hence the font, "Viking Normal" and the head of the viking on the inside of the card.

-281-

I used a QuicKutz die cut to make the Lacrosse Stick.

The Thank You sentiment in the first card is done with a Sparkle'n Sprinkle stamp.

The second "thank you" was printed using the Viking Normal font and cut off with an EK punch.

The red and white linen and silver card stock are from paperandmore.com.

Until next time....

Thanks ... with a Butterfly

THANKS...

... with a butterfly.

Usually you say thank you with some flowers. But yesterday, I felt like saying thanks with a butterfly.

Each time I clean up my scrapbooking supplies and reorganize them, I found some I had in my possession for a while and never used. I think this is the main advantage of organizing and re-organizing your tools....

The card below is the result of using not one but two "new" tools.

-267-

This Cuttlebug embossing folder was part of a pack and I must admit, I had never seen it! Coupled with the use of puffy paint (my go-to tool) it made a pretty good frame around the card.

Next time, I will try to emboss on the other side, it will give a totally different feeling.

The second unknown to the troops (as we, French say) tool was this butterfly die cut. It makes 4 different butterflies... don't ask me for the brand, there is none on it...

I taped one butterfly down and added a second one with the wings up, and a little puffy paint on the body.

I finished in rounding the corners of the cards...

Until next time....

Basket of Green Flowers Cards

This was a gift basket I made for my friend Claudine. She just loves bright green and silver and finding an idea for her cards was a no brainer.

I first found a Basic Narrows ribbon from Celebrate it and the rest was just matter of accessorizing it. I looked for the same green ink, the same green cardstock and used metallic champagne and silver card stock as well as some white linen.

I punched a big leaf and embossed a "Handmade with Love" tag that I tied to the basket handle.

Here are the three kind of cards I put inside the basket.

First some blank notecards, with a little metallic champagne card stock patch on top.

I stamped a row of 5 flowers from Idea House and added a drop of puffy white paint at the center of each flowers.

I also rounded the bottom corners of the notecards.

-111-

Then, I made some thank you cards, format 4bar. I embossed the Thank You sentiment in silver and repeated the row of flowers under.

I matted the white linen on silver card stock and added a little bit of green ribbon.

The card stock is metallic champagne, and there is a liner in white linen.

-112-

Now come the ones that were the longer to make, some mini cards with envelopes.

I used the Cricut Wild Cards cartridge and some green and silver card stock.

I also added some lined flowers to match the others cards.

A final look at what the basket looked like.

I think I made Claudine happy that day...

Until next time.

Kindness on Kraft

Kindness on Kraft.

The interesting part when you work with kraft paper is that the ink takes his own color.

I do think that stamping in white on Kraft paper is very dramatic, it actually looks like chalk.

I used different stamps from Martha Stewart for the grass and stems and added two stamped begonia from a Katie and co stamp.

Until next time.
