ready to make 22 "THANK YOU" cards

I made another of the "Thank You" cards... like the one in a previous post.. but I inked the greenery in Old Olive.. trying to find a quicker way to make a bunch of cards.. it looks great, so I cut everything to make 22 of them. I am off to get to stamping and embossing here in a few minutes.. just wanted to take a little break first.

....... embossed THANK YOU card

For this card I used another of the Sizzix/Hero Arts sets that I got today. This set included a large stamp and an embossing folder. The Thank you sentiment is from another Hero Arts stamp set.

I inked the greenery stamp with a bunch of different Distress Inks and then stamped it onto some card stock.. layered that onto a piece of Stampin' UP! Old Olive card stock and then onto some gorgeous brown card stock I got at XpedX.

"Thinking of You".... some new goodies I got today.

My hubby was off today for a Post Training Holiday and we went over the mountain to a store I recently found that has lots of awesome stamping stuff. I got two of the New Sizzix/Hero Arts Embossing and Die Cut sets.. you get a stamp set and an embossing folder.. or you get a stamp set and a set of dies.. I used the dies/stamp set for this card. I also got in a Stampin' UP! order today that when my hubby picked it up asked if it was full of rocks because it was so heavy... nothing but card stock, punches, ribbon, grid paper, some embossing folders, one stamp set (freebie) and 10 packs of DIMENSIONALS!!!!!

For this card I used:
Stampin' UP! Supplies: Pumpkin Pie and Garden Green card stock, Pumpkin Pie Ribbon, Lattice Embossing Folder, Dimensionals
Stamp Set/Dies: Floral
Inks: Distress Inks
Hole Punch, White Brads, Bigkick

I used Sketch #353 from SCS for this card:

... hope your christmas is snow much fun! card

Recently I won some May Arts ribbon from a OWH Challenge and wanted to use some tonight. I love the color brown and this ribbon has brown, red, black and cream in it.. yummy! I thought I'd pull out my Stampin' UP! Snow Much Fun stamp set to use it on this card. Some other things I used on this card is a Tim Holtz embossing folder, Stampin' UP! punch, sponge, distress ink, memento black ink, copic markers, the May Arts ribbon... and DIMENSIONALS!!!

I used Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps Sketch Challenge #14 layout for this card:

For this card I used a sketch from a while back on SCS ~ here is the sketch layout:

OWH Sketch #89 Challenge: Thank you very much

I made this card last night.. the first time I cut pieces for the centerpiece, stamped and put together.. only to look at the measurements to see that I made it too big.. tossed that piece aside and started over. Now.. just now looking at the sketch layout below I notice that the stripes going across aren't supposed to go all the way across.. so much for getting it right.. haha.. I do like the way my card turned out and hope to make some more.

For this card I used: Serengeti stamp set (ret.) and the sentiment is from a Stampin' UP! set, can't remember the name.
Card stock: cream and slate from XpedX, black from Michael's.
ink: Memento black
Punches: Stampin' UP!
brads, hole punch, and of course.. DIMENSIONALS!!!!

Here is the sketch layout that I used for this card:




I made a second card.. not using the layout, but the same colors and a stamp from the same stamp set.


For this card I used: Serengeti stamp set (ret.) and Well Scripted (ret)
Card stock: cream and slate from XpedX, black from Michael's.
ink: Memento black
Punches: Stampin' UP!
ribbon, brads, hole punch, and of course.. DIMENSIONALS!!!!

Welcome OWH Blog Hoppers ~ Christmas Cards and more...

**be sure and see note at end of posting**

Welcome Operation Write Home ~ World Cardmaking Day Blog Hoppers!!!

"Christmas Blessings"

For my first card I used a Sizzix embossing folder and embossed the white top layer. I layered it on a layer of Always Artichoke and then a card base in Cherry Cobbler (both from Stampin' UP!).. then I pulled out some Poinsettia flowers and leaves that I believe my mom bought for me some time ago.. finally getting around to using them.. in fact when I seen the embossing folder in Hobby Lobby the other day, I knew right away what I wanted to do for a card using these flowers. I put three gold brads in each one. The "Christmas Blessings" sentiment is from a Hero Arts Christmas set. I used Dimensionals on this card.. what would a card be without dimensionals??

"wishing you many magical moments"

For this card I wanted to use up some My Mind's Eye Christmas paper that I bought the other day.. in fact I made 8 of these cards.. all the same. The card base is made from some vanilla card stock/cover that I got at XpedX last month. I layered the My Mind's Eye paper on some Ruby Red card stock (from Stampin' UP!), for the top panel I used more of the paper I used for the card base.. stamped a sentiment from a Stampin' UP! Festive Favorites stamp set in Garden Green ink.. layered on it a piece of Ruby Red with a polka dot paper from My Mind's Eye as well.. then I stamped the tree tag onto more of the vanilla paper, colored it in and punched it out.. layered it on another punched out piece... to finish it off I tied some ribbon on it that I believe is from May Arts.. I got it at the neatest little stamp/scrapbook store located in Dover, TN..... the layers are of course put on with Dimensionals!!!!
