Many Thanks

I always send my customers thank you notes when they place an order, and here was a recent creation:
At first glance it may appear that I just stamped the "thanks" on Soft Sky and Basic Black cardstock, but I actually cut these out using the Greetings Thinlits Dies.  Then using the cut greetings and the negative spaces, I stacked them to create this card.

I started with a piece of Basic Black cardstock and using the Project Life Cards and Labels Framelits I cut it with both the large and small frames.  This created a frame with an open center.

I put strips of Tear and Tape Adhesive along either edge on the back side, and carefully adhered only the ends of the letters and negative space strips.  I then backed the whole piece with some Soft Sky cardstock.

The black piece was then glued to Whisper White Thick cardstock cut to 4-1/4" x 11" and scored in the middle.

The sentiment, from Another Thank You, was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Soft Sky and I used my Hexagon Punch to flag the ends.  It was adhered over a strip of Silver Glimmer Paper and I scrunched up some Silver Thread on top.  I finished with some Soft Sky Candy Dots.

Do you think my customer knows that I was grateful?

A Corny Hello

Only one more day and the Holiday Catalog will be "live"!  Are  you making your list?  Checking it twice?  (Oh, sorry, wrong season, especially for today's card!).

When I attended Convention in July, I won the adorable stamp set, Acorny Thank You during a Prize Patrol.  This very fall-appropriate set has a matching punch, which was first on my list to order.  I finally got around to playing with it...see the results:

This was a very easy card, but I love the results.

I started with a piece of Whisper White Thick Cardstock, 4-1/4" x 11", folded at 5-1/2".  I ran a piece of Early Espresso (4" x 5-1/4") through my Big Shot with my Woodgrain Embossing Folder, and adhered it to my base.

The acorns were stamped in Early Espresso and Always Artichoke and the little caps were stamped using Crumb Cake and Tip Top Taupe inks.  These pieces were punched with the Acorn Builder Punch (I love it when things coordinate!) and the caps were popped up on the acorn with Dimensionals.

A strip of 5/8" Chevron Ribbon and another of 1-1/4" Burlap Ribbon (cut in half) were adhered to my card (using Tear and Tape Adhesive) and the acorns were popped up.  I frayed some of the Burlap Ribbon, and used a thread to make a little bow, adhered to the acorn with a Mini Glue Dot.


"Hello" was cut with the Big Shot and the Greetings Thinlits and Whisper White cardstock; this is adhered to the front with Two-Way Glue.

And that's all there is to it!  So cute...and this corny little set and punch can be yours tomorrow!
