Wildflower Thank You

From the archives:
I recently found a card I had made quite a while ago, and pulled it out to thank someone at work. Happily I photographed it before sending it so I can share it with you. On oft overlooked stamp and coordinating embossing folder, Wildflower Meadow is one to spotlight:

I began by coloring my stamp using Stampin' Write Markers in Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive, Always Artichoke and Island Indigo. After misting lightly with water, I stamped it on Naturals White cardstock. Then I ran it through my Big Shot with the coordinating Wildflower Meadow Embossing Folder.

The sentiment is from Gifts of Kindness, stamped in Island Indigo, and trimmed with the Word Window Punch (I trimmed it from both ends, so it's a little shorter than usual). I punched two tiny holes (with the handheld 1/16" circle punch) around the flower stem, and tied my tag on with Linen Thread.

The card base is Island Indigo with a layer of Melon Mambo. It creates a striking multi-purpose card.

October Thank You's

I like to send thank you notes to customers who place orders with me, and this month I pulled out a new and not-yet-used stamp set. Well, truth be told, I used it once for another project, but I've been waiting for inspiration to strike. And it did! Take a look:

A simple, elegant card, that is easy to duplicate.

Three of the feathers from Four Feathers were stamped, one in Mossy Meadow, another in Hello Honey and the last in Blackberry Bliss. They all took a trip through my Big Shot, using the Feathers Framelits (easy peasy!), and then I tied them together with a bow of Linen Thread.

I stamped Thank You from Gifts of Kindness using Mossy Meadow ink on a Whisper White layer (4" x 5-1/4") and wrapped a single band of Mossy Meadow Striped Satin Ribbon around it. This was then adhered to a slightly larger (4-1/8" x 5-3/8") piece of Mossy Meadow, and then attached to a Whisper White base (4-1/4" x 11", scored at 5-1/2"). The feathers were added with Dimensionals.

Simple and elegant...and very pretty!
