Thank You Cards - Boxed Sets

These a some custom order Thank you cards I have designed for a friend. She requested something with a Star theme in purples and greens. I did up two different designs to choose from both featuring Rich Razzleberry and Certainly Celery colours cause they seemed the closest match to her business logo.

This first card I used the Canada Day stamp set from our Summer Mini to create the background paper. The sentiment is from a retired stamp set Kind and Caring Thoughts. The stars are die cut from the Stars die set and I stamped them with the fireworks from the Canada Day set and sponged the edges to give them a bit of dimension! The inside of this card is black to add a personalized sentiment.

The second card design I used the Big Shot and a thank you embossing folder and embossed the Rich Razzleberry cardstock with thank you wording. This layer is wrapped that with some polka dotted grosgrain ribbon and than to finish it off I adhered a Rich Razzleberry Star accented with another star cut out of our Designer Series paper and a Razzleberry brad to hold it in place. The inside of the card is blank with some tiny star accents in the corners to jazz it up a notch.

The 10 card set come in a coordinating gift box with matching envelopes.

A Christmas Collage

My photos does not do this card justice!

This card features the Christmas Collage background stamp. Which we inked with various blues, greens and reds that match the new Candy Cane designer fabric which coordinates so well with the papers and Stampin' Up ! colours ... the fabric was cut into circles using the Big Shot and used to form the circular embellishment which has a fancy glimmer brad in the middle trying it all together! All new products from the Holiday mini!

2 Step Poinsettia

This card is SO cool ... although looks like I need to practice my symmetrical placement of pieces .... but aside from being off centered .... look how the poinsettia leaves are the perfect cuts each time! Wondering how that is done? Easily peasily .... cause this card features the 2 step BIRD punch! Amazing eh?

Plus Nancy sprayed the real red paper with some Platinum Shimmer paint - which she mixed with alcohol in a spritz bottle to mist it - which worked to make it all sparkly - something that never shows up as pretty in a photo!

Paisley Pumpkins

Another awesome contribution from the Sneak peak Holiday Mini night with my upline Liz ... I love the combination of all the sneak peak items she combined here as well .... all are from the Holiday mini - Stampin' Up really out did themselves this time with the selection and Liz put the card design together to totally rock the Halloween theme!

Personally I wish the tradition of Halloween card sending would increase the same as Xmas cards cause well these are TOO much fun to make man!

Sensational Swaps

One of the thing I LOVE about Stampin' Up! is the wonderful supportive and collaborative nature of the business - you never feel truly 'alone' in your endeavors! Our team meetings are always inspirational and we get to do card swaps to showcase and play with products we might not yet have purchased - this card is a prime example of how AWESOME getting to do swaps is!

The card is designed by Liz Goldhawk my upline and features the Stamp set Merry Crittermas from our Holiday mini which rolls out WEDNESDAY with some awesome new products I cannot wait to add to my collection! The paper is also from the Holiday mini called Candy Cane Christmas and the new Rectangle Scallop Duo Bigz die is also featured as well as the 2 1/2 inch circle punch. It is such a cutie!
