Continuing on a Theme

I made some Super Simple Thank You cards the other week which you can see HERE. 

The Work of Art stamp set has such fantastic images to work with - it's one of the best sets in the current catalogue in my opinion.  So I continued on the theme with these cards.

This was my original idea....

And then I made these...

 

A quick-to-make collection of cards.

• Each card is made with a Very Vanilla base then a 14.3 x 10 cm layer - this gives the cards a bit more weight.
• For each card I used a light and dark ink.  Wisteria Wonder and Blackberry Bliss, Pear Pizazz and Mossy Meadow etc.  If the ink colour for the 'swish' is too dark, stamp off once on a piece of scrap to lighten it.
• Look through your sentiments.  I used sentiments from three different card sets to make this collection.
• Embellish!  I used punched images, buttons and rhinestones to add an extra something to each card.  Our Linen Thread can be separated into two fine pieces, wrapped around your fingers and glue dotted behind an embellishment for that extra touch.  I saw the Grateful for You card on Chic n Scratch done this way.

Super Simple Thank You

These are very quick to put together using just two stamps and two ink colours for each card.

One card uses Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizzazz inks, while the other uses Wisteria Wonder and Blackberry Bliss.

Work of Art Thank You - another make and take

Blackberry Bliss is my new favourite colour...but I think I may have already told you that.

We combined the Water Color Thank You stamp with the Work of Art stamp set and Blackberry Bliss to make this card.

• the card base and co-ordinating envelope are Stampin' Up!s Note Cards and Envelopes.  These are great for quick cards and work out at just over 50c each.
• We used the striped 'swish' from "Work of Art" to stamp stripes on the Blackberry Bliss background
• On the tag, we used the 'stamp off'' technique to achieve stripes that get lighter.  To stamp off, we simply stamped again without reinking so that the image becomes lighter each time.
• The Angled Tag Topper Punch adds some interest to the card - just put a 2" strip of card in the punch and it will cut the angle and the hole.  Easy!

Launch Make and Takes

By the time you read we will have finished our 2014 launch of the Stampin' Up! catalogue!  I'll tell you more about the day in a future post.  I got this post ready ahead of time.

 

 

This is one of the make and takes the ladies completed.

 

 



This is a pouch we made, using the Tag a Bags.  I had prepared the bags before hand by folding them in half then folding the front part in half again, then sewing up the sides.  The ladies then added the doily, the Baked Brown Sugar Bakers Twine and the All Abloom paper pieces.  This one was super quick and easy to make.   It could be used for a card....or it could be used for tags!

 

 

We made four co-ordinating tags to go inside the pouch.  All the ladies had this Watercolor Thank You included in their launch price, so projects were based around this stamp.  We used the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch to shape the tag tops.

 



Tucked in behind the tags is a little cello bag with four strings.

 

 



Thanks to Sara Sagert for the idea for this cute little pouch!
