Perfect Blend thank you gift card

This card was inspired by Tami White of stampwithtami.com.  I changed the dimensions a little and used different Framelits and stamp sets, but the basic concept came from her video.  I used strawberry slush, early espresso and lost lagoon cardstock to make the card.  It will fit into a standard medium sized envelope.  I hope it will inspire you to make one of your own.

Stamp sets used are Perfect Blend, a round array, lots of thanks and honeycomb hello.  I used crumb cake Blendabilities to color the coffee cup.  The "sleeve" is cut from the all abloom paper stack.  I cut the lid from very vanilla cardstock.

Smile with Lovely Lace card

I loved this stamp as soon as I saw it when the new Stampin' Up catalog arrived.  It's a single stamp and is called A Little Smile.  It works wonderfully with the Stampin' Blendabilities.  The base card is daffodil delight and embossed with the Lovely Lace embossing folder.  The focal image was mounted on a piece of DSP from the All Abloom paper stack.  I think receiving a card with this little stamp will make anyone's day, don't you agree?

Lovely Lacey butterfly card

This card uses a direct to paper technique using an ink pad to highlight the beautiful embossing folder called Lovely Lace.  I used island indigo ink on island indigo cardstock.  The flowers are from  Beautiful Bunch, Flower Shop Pictogram Punches and and Petite Petals stamp sets.  Each of these sets have a coordinating punch to go along with them.  The butterflies are from the set Papillion Potpourri.  Two of the butterflies are sponged while the small butterfly in the middle was colored with Blendabilities.  I stamped them in Momentous tuxedo black ink.  The flowers are stamped in strawberry slush ink on pink pirouette cardstock.  Thanks for looking and I hope this inspires you to make something today.
