Garden Walk Thank You Card Tutorial

I use a ton of thank you cards during the holidays as I like to send a card to family and friends to show my appreciation. After all they showed me I was special enough to take the time and I want to show them how special their thoughtfulness was to me. How about you? Do you send thank you cards during the gift giving season? Or want to create a lovely gift for someone? If you do you’ll enjoy today’s project as it is a quick and easy card to make a bunch of quickly.

I’ve used the Good Feelings Stamp set (158737) for this project as it is a sentiment set that has these great bold sentiments perfect as a focal point on a card like this.

And of course the Garden Walk Designer Series Paper (retiring 162227) is a lovely pack of 6×6 papers that have all kinds of floral images making it a great choice for this versatile layout.

Not only does it had bolder color choices for the holidays, it also has a softer color pallet too so you can use it year round simply by changing the card base and mat colors. And of course the Blooming Pearls (162238) since they come in an assortment of colors work with all of them!

Magical Meadow Card Tutorial

Today’s card is done in the soft colors of Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve and Misty Moonlight giving it a soft winter feel.

I’ve used the Magical Meadow Stamp Set (Retiring 162134) that will be retiring and is only available while supplies last along with the Something Fancy Dies (160424) from the Annual Catalog. You might already have this set of label dies since it is a great staple that you’ll use over and over again.

the Magical Meadow stamp set is a beautiful set with DisInkTive ™ images and wonderful winter sentiments. It is part of the Winter Meadow Suite of Products (162150) and while the stamp set and dies are on the retirement list some of the accessories are not, so you can get additional accessories like the paper in the future. Remember, if a suite or bundle is sold out you can always purchase things separately.

Fun Techniques with Autumn Leaves

You can hear the leaves rustle? We’ve had a breezing cool few days here in North Georgia and the colors have really started to pop against the hill sides and along the roads. It feels like it’s happened overnight, but I know it’s a combination of shorter days and cooler nights that create this wonderful array of colors. So today I thought it felt right to share a couple of autumn inspired cards using the Autumn Leaves Bundle (162186).

This bundle has some great sentiments and images for fall crafting and today’s cards use a couple of simple techniques to create some great autumn cards. This first card uses the fun Baby Wipe Technique that uses our Reinkers.

Grab a couple of baby wipes, a few reinkers of your choice and create your own ink pad to create this look. How’s it done? Fold your baby wipes so they create a a size that will work well with your stamp choice, use your of rinkers and place drops of ink randomly around the surface, repeat until you have a variety of colors filling in the space. Then go ahead and stamp! Yep that is it. Just a tip tho, you’ll want to clean your stamp in between your stamping as you’ll muddy the colors on the baby wipe if you don’t. Have fun with it and enjoy the process, you’ll create an original look each time you stamp!

And this next card uses a fun “spot light” technique with the All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (162178).

The leaf shape die has been used to cut out the card front stamped panel and then again from the Designer Series Paper. The Designer Series Paper has been placed in the negative spot using Stampin’ Dimensionals creating a bit of a shadow effect. The Crumb Cake card base peeks through from behind enhancing this effect. The tone on tone stamping is a great backdrop and the bit of Linen Thread (104199) and Adesive Backed Speckled Dots (162191) ties the color scheme together nicely.

So what do you think? Need a birthday card? simply swap out the sentiment with one of your choices these layouts aren’t just for Thanksgiving.
