Female Thank you Card

Female Thank you Card

I loved this set from Stampin' Up the moment I saw it! My friend is a LuLaroe consultant and wanted some thank you cards to include in her packages filled with really cute clothes. So I created this simple card in a variety of colors. The background is standard A7, with the white cut 1/4 of an inch shorter all around. I did not make them into cards, but into postcards for her as she did not need a whole card.  Very easy to make, yet fun and speaks volumes to the receiver!

50th Birthday Card

My husband turns 50 at the end of the month. I wanted it to be special, but still wanted to use black because is is turning 50 after all.  I cut squares from pattern paper for the top of the card, put a sheer ribbon towards the bottom and then embossed the Happy Birthday stamp in black.  I popped the 5o up with pop dots so it would stand out against the black background. It is a little hard to see in the picture.  I tried several colors, but decided the black worked best.

The inspiration for this card came from a card I saw on Pinterest.  You can see the original card at http://www.handmadecardsfromtheheart.blogspot.com

Sympathy Card

Here is the other sympathy card with the same colors as yesterday's card. I popped the word deepest up with pop dots.  The stamp set is from Close to My Heart and paper was from my scrap folders.

Sympathy Card

I needed another sympathy card. Two actually.  I used the same colors on both, but they turned out very different.  I will post the other one tomorrow.

Baby Card

A friend of mine is going to be a grandma and I wanted to make her a card to celebrate. I wanted to make it generic since she doesn't know if it will be a boy or girl yet.

Best Wishes Card

I have been wanting to make a monochromatic card for awhile.  I finally put one together this weekend using my Cuttlebug and a Stampin' Up Embossing Folder.  This card is meant as a wedding card, but could also be for any type of "Best Wishes."

Hey Chick!

Another stamp from Stamps by Judith. The website for her stamps is on yesterday's post.  So cute and fun to work with. This was a practice chick for a card I made for my best friend.  I couldn't let it go to waste so I cut it out and used it on this card.  I colored the chick with my copic markers.  The hardest part was being happy with my handwriting for the saying.  I tried it so many different ways.  I finally settled on the dot alphabet.  It would have been so much easier if I had used one of my stamp sets. This card could be used for so many things ~ congratulations, missing you, thinking of you, thank you, hello, birthday just to name a few.

 

Band Aid Card

Very Simple, very simple, very simple. Again I left the inside of the card blank so I can add an appropriate sentiment when I need it.  I just discovered a new stamp line and am loving the Stamps by Judith & Heather. This one is appropriately named Band Aid.  You can see all their stamps at their website.   http://www.stampsbyjudith.com

Birthday Card

Here is another birthday card. Actually, it could be a congratulations or graduation card as well.  It depends on the saying you put inside.  I have a tendency to leave the insides of my cards blank until I need them.  That way I can add whatever sentiment best fits the occasion.  This one could be pretty guy specific, but more and more I know women who ride, myself included!

Birthday Card

I got the idea for this card from a card I saw at Starbucks. I couldn't wait to put my own spin on it. Simple but pretty and again easy to send through the mail.

Birthday Card

I had two goals for this card, one to use up some scraps and two, to make a birthday card that could be used for a male or a female.  Guy cards can still have ribbon right?  What would I do without my ribbon? The Happy Birthday saying is popped up with popdots to make it stand out a little more, but still be able to mail easily.
