I am using the new Thank You Friend stamp set for both cards today. I did some ink blending and smooshing with some Distress inks on both cards. I then stamped the large sentiment and a supporting sentiment on both cards. As a finishing touch on the first card, I stamped some of the stars from the same stamp set.

For my second card, I did the same thing but this time, I took one of the Hand Stitched Nested Rectangle dies and impressed them into my card panel to frame my sentiments. I then added some Summer Breeze enamel dots from Whimsy Stamps.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Crafty hugs!

Thank you with PTI

Welcome friends and happy Monday. I haven't played with any of my PTI sets in awhile so I thought I'd pull one out. I am using the gorgeous Cutting Garden stamp set.  I started by stamping the blooms in different colors of red and pink inks. I stamped the leaves and other greenery directly onto the card base. I die cut a couple of blooms using the coordinating dies and added one with foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment and then wouldn't you know, I got a smudge at the top of the card. So insert the black and white patterned paper to cover it up. :)

Thanks so much for visiting. Have an amazing day.

Thanks with Foil and Embossing

Hi friends. I have two cards to share with you today. Before I get into the cards, I want to take just a quick moment and tell you all thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love, comments and friendships that this blog has afforded. 

I truly appreciate each and every one of you and wouldn't be able to keep this blog up without each of you.  I want to wish everyone a very happy New Year's Eve and a most blessed 2017.

Now, onto my cards.  The first uses this gorgeous toner paper from Heidi Swapp. I added some teal foil on top and then ran it through my Mini Minc machine. I then die cut the thanks die cut from MFT's Twice the Thanks Die-namics twice, once with white and once with black card stock. I stamped the supporting sentiment from the Kind Thanks stamp set onto some vellum. I wrapped that around my card panel and then added the thanks die cut on top of that.

Here's a better shot of what the color actually looks like.

For my second card, I white heat embossed the PeonyGarden cling background stamp from The Ton. I then added some Abandoned Coral Distress Ink over it. I then die cut this panel with the Inside and Out Diagonal Die-namics from MFT. 

I added this onto some black card stock and added it to my card base. I used the same thanks die-namics that I used on the first card and added it to the panel. I finished off the card with some Tonic White Blizzard Nuvo Glitter Drops.

Hi friends. It's time for a new challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays and this time, the challenge is Be Thankful - make a thank you or card of gratitude. Also, make sure to read to the end where there is a coupon code to go shopping with.

For my card, I started by stamping the beautiful Curtis Background stamp onto my card panel using some light grey ink.  I then heat embossed the flowers and leaves from my most favorite CAS-ual Fridays stamp set, Pretty Posies. After they were embossed and die cut with the coordinating dies, I added some color using Distress Inks with my ink blending tools.

I stamped my sentiment onto the panel from the Lovely stamp set and then added my flowers and leaves. One of them was added with foam tape for a bit of dimension.

CFC160 - Color Challenge

A new challenge has started at CAS-ual Fridays and it's a great color challenge where we want you to use orange, brown and kraft.  My orange came from some patterned paper and then I die cut both of the dies from the Casual Tress die set. The sentiment is from the Wheat Wreath stamp set. There is a great wreath image in the set along with lots of great sentiments that you can mix and match.

I added everything to my brown card base, added some sequins and my card is complete.

TupeloDesignsLLC DT Post using Concord & 9th - A triple play of thank you cards

Hi friends. I'm back today with more DT projects for TupeloDesignsLLC. Today, I am using the beautiful Painted Thank You stamp set from Concord & 9th on all 3 of my cards. I hope you'll find some inspiration in today's post.

For my first card, I started by doing some ink blending on some water color card stock with various Distress Inks which are listed below. I then die cut the panel with the Wonky Stitches die from Avery Elle. I then heat embossed the sentiment from the Painted Thank You set with some sparkly gold embossing powder from my stash.

I added the card panel to some gold card stock and then added everything to my card base.

For my second card, I started by heat embossing the sentiment from the Painted Thank You set onto some Neenah card stock in gold embossing powder. I also heat embossed a couple of the flower images onto my panel as well. I then die cut the panel with the Small Dotted Rectangle Stackable dies from Lawn Fawn. Some clear sequins and foam tape finish off the card.

For my last card, I blended some Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers Distress inks onto my card panel. I then took my Distress Sprayer and sprayed some water droplets onto my panel. After about 30 seconds, I blotted the water up with a paper towel. I just love the look you are left with. I then heat embossed the sentiment again, although, this time in white. On this card, I also die cut the panel with the Small Dotted Rectangle Stackable dies from Lawn Fawn.
